Hi everyone,
  My papillon is going to have pup's and I am very nevous I have been reading, and reading and I need some advice, I hope she can do it her self I will be there but I dont know if anything goes wronge if I will be ok, as you can tell this is our first litter, has anyone been on this side and what did you do to get by it. she is going to have her pup's around the 12 of june, what about a welping box, what else can you use sutiable for a litter, how many do thay usally have.what about yogurt I have been reading that is good for pup's so thay can get calciam is that good for them.I have also read things can go wrong, I need support.she is doing ok she sleep's alot eat's the useuall thing expecting moms do. please asure me everything will be ok.  thank's nervous

I hope that you have got a copy of the Book of the Bitch - that should be your bedside reading until she has those puppies, if it isn't already :D

Your best mentor would be your bitch's breeder - or failing that, the owner of the stud dog - if you haven't experienced a birth before, you really do need someone, preferably beside you if not on the end of a phone, as well as the tel no of your vet.

Hope all goes well

Margot

I Arranged to have someone available who was expereinced in whelping bitches, someone the bitch knows well. 

Also the stud dog and bitches breeders on the end of the phone for moral support, and a blow by blow account of proceedings.

I rang the vet when she started and when she finished so he woudl know to be on standby and to stand down.

Have you started taking her temps at all? I always had my breeder on the phone with me and she was a great help.

Baby puppies can't wait to hear all about it, be prepared for no sleep lol :D
