Someone more knowledgeable than me (which is anyone) will step in here soon, I'm sure...but for a whelping box, a box or enclosure that will contain the pups and is too tall for them to climb over...don't know how big Neo is, so don't know how big this needs to be...you might just put her somewhere out of the way right now on some clean towels and worry about a box or enclosure later...it sounds like pups may be early, you will likely need heat lamps at the least...if pups are early, probably a greater chance of complications...can you call your vet?

Neo could get in & out, but not the pups. All we can do is keep things warm in here. Right, I sent that after you'd posted that you called them. Warmth is the big thing, from my limited understanding. Sounds like you're doing everything you can. Any more pups yet? Mustang Sally |

"montana wildhack" wrote in message: It's the biggest one yet. These pups are like 6 inches long... Do you have a way to weigh them? You may also want to start putting some sort of ID on 'em, so you can make sure that everyone is feeding, increasing in weight, etc. (assuming they're hard to tell apart). I've heard that people put different colored ribbons on them or paint the toenails in different colors to assist with this. Suja |

I hereby nominate you the spay/neuter vs. the miracle of birth argument spokesperson for the group! Good luck with the birthing and all the pups. I hope they eat well on their own so you don't have to bottle feed, that they are healthy and cute and that your DH takes full responsibility since obviously this is fate intervening to save him making a difficult decision he didn't want to make! -- Paula "Anyway, other people are weird, but sometimes they have candy, so it's best to try to get along with them."
