| Hi Are you the same person who wants to know about a whelping box. You should have sorted this a long time ago, 1. a whelping box ( in your other question please read it) 2. vet bed ( about 4 ) 3. puppy formula 4. puppy feeding bottles & teats(enough for each puppy) 5. jugs (3 ) 6. weighing scales, notebook & pen 7. good dog food (for mother dog) 8. shallow water bowel(for puppies) 9. dettol 10.towels 11.sisscors 12.cotton wool 13.Heat lamp(to keep puppies warm) 14.2 Heat pads(to lay puppies on ) 15.box of rubber gloves(not margolds) 16.glucose( mother dogs water for strength) 17.A warm room 18.A bowl & warm water You need to feed your dog with a GOOD FOOD and plenty, she is feeding a few puppies and they need goodness, You will need to be on hand and watch your dog,if she is having a difficult time you need to get her to vets A.S.A.P. have a friend / family to help. WRAP A TOWEL OVER HEAT PADS PLEASE KEEP THE PUPPIES IN A WARM ROOM ,THIS IS URGENT PUT ON HEAT PADS A.S.A.P. PUPPIES DIE FROM THE COLD THEY CAN'T RETAIN HEAT, Get some books on dogs giving birth or go to the library and get some, When the puppies are born and the mother is well, talk to your vet about getting your dog spayed, there are enough dogs in our world and lots unwanted in over crowded dog shelters This is going to be a difficult time for you, get help or find some one who had been through a dog giving birth, Best of Luck ↑ |

| Yeah, she isn't so young that she's incapable of giving birth to a healthy litter successfully. But normally breeders are asked to wait till the bitch is in her 3rd year, at least with Cavaliers. Just do as much research as possible. I'm sure all will be well. :) ↑ |

| Hi Jblunts, I'm new to the forum and saw your post. I am a veterinarian and happen to LOVE pit bulls! :) I think your baby will be okay. Dogs are amazing parents and she will probably get thru her labor and delivery with flying colors. Most mama dogs know what to do instinctively. However, since she is still a pup herself, she may have some trouble passing the babies if they are too big. So, when it's time to deliver, you can be on hand to help, if needed. Your job would be to just help her pass the pups, but ONLY if needed. Lots of lube, gloves, gentle help, and it's no sweat. :) Accidents happen, don't they? Trying to keep a male dog away from a female in heat is near impossible. :) Take care, Libind ↑ |

| Well, my baby had her babies. No problem. She didn't even make a noise. I woke up to the sound of puppy at two-thirty in the morning. She only had two. One boy and one girl. Both nice size and beautiful. thanks for your advise. ↑ |
