Yay!!! We've got babies on the way. Due roughly 4/5 wks. Vet says was hard to tell but defo 2 plus in there. Going to spend tonight buying our list of stuff we need. Any tips from all you pros.

My girl is well in herself. Her belly is getting round & her nips are a lot bigger. Plus her vulva is still swollen. Vet said to not really increase foods yet. Plus she wants to worm her with Virbac is this ok? I've not giving it yet. Away to do some serious reading

The recommended (and tried and tested) wormer for pregnant bitches is Panacur suspension.  It has been clinically tested at rates far exceeding recommended dosage, and no problems encountered.  Far cheaper to buy online than from your vet. 

Must have for me is Dopram V.  I would far rather have it binned unused than need to revive a pup and lose said puppy because I had nothing at hand. 

Again Dopram V is far cheaper than buying from a vet.

Have you got The Book of the Bitch?  Breeders bible.

That's great thank you. Yes I have that book going to be studying it closely. I want to be prepared for all issues. Not sure if I can even ask but is there somewhere in particular I can get the things you suggested?

Also the panacur is this better as liquid, paste or the granuals?

This thread seems to cover just about everything

Thanks! That's an awesome link! Xx

I'm looking to buy things for my whelping kit. The nutri drops is this the black and green bottle on hyper drug? There's a few options

Nooooo not recommended for pregnant bitches!

You need this

The BOTB should be read through from cover to cover.  Then read it again.  And again.  And again.  Have you been present at a whelping?

Phew! That's the one I ordered earlier. Just trying to figure out the nutri drops & puppy stem now.
