Nat 1979. I have ordered the book via Amazon and it will come tomorrow. As far as the whelping stuff goes do I really need all that stuff?!! Had no luck locating a whelping box that can't be delivered before next week. Will she need time to get used to it or is it okay to introduce it just before and hope for the best? I will be keeping a very very close eye on her from now on. Luckily I don't go to work so am available for her 24/7.

Would be nice to know what day she is though.

Again, thanks everybody so far for your help
Its always handly to have even if you dont use it
I order one every time i have a litter
If you cant get a whelping box before she has them i have a room for my girls had lino on the floor lots of newspaper and blankets

Re: Help!
I'm sure they would if I asked. They are not nearby though. They have kindly offered to refund the money we paid for her to help with expense, but we said not to worry as she is such a lovely dog. They are genuinely shocked.
Okay liquid life aid, I will order some of that. So you think I need heat pads as well then. Okay I will order that too. Thank you Archie.

Yeah I certainly hope it was the airedale! I don't hold the breeders responsible for this though. I should make that clear. They genuinely had no idea that she was pregnant when they rehomed her.

They are responsible breeders with all health tests done. I know that my dog has a good hip score as I have her certificate. I did speak to the previous owner and she thinks that maybe it was her airedale and not her labrador that got to her. So here's hoping. She has been off her usual food so I have given her puppy food with a chopped up boiled egg which she wolfed down! I am keeping a very close eye on her and she seems relaxed.
Thank you for your help and kind thoughts.
I would how can they not know ???? responsible breeders dont sound like it
And i could ask so many more questions but thats not what you have come on here for

They are lots of people on here that will help you through this

Re: Help!
No I think they are responsible. By that I mean they do the necessary health checks for breeding ie hip scores, eyes etc. They care about their animals. I think maybe they are just a bit chaotic. If you have about 30 dogs how do you keep track of all of them?

I don't hold them responsible, I guess it is just one of those things and it happens. As I said, they definitely had no idea.

Petnap Limited Whelping kit

Same place as that disposable whelping box. I personally think this kit is almost perfect! Everything you could possibly need, including whelpi, though you still will need to source some dopram v & liquidlife.

And you even a set of scales to keep track of the progress of each baby with this kit!

Liquid Life Aid : MedicAnimal.com It is for farm animals but can be used on pups etc

Dopram V 5ml-Hyperdrug
Dopram is a unique medicine NOT a dietary supplement. It contains DOXAPRAM which stimulates breathing and is similar to treatments used in caring for premature babies in hospital. DOPRAM V is given by placing 2-10 drops (depending upon the size of the animal and severity of the problem) under the tongue of the puppy or kitten.

Re: Help!
If you can't get a whelping box before next week then a cardboard box will do I have used one before now. For my whippet I think I got a big crisp box but for an airdale I would imagine would need a bigger bow if you can get hold of one..

If not loads of paper on the floor with blankets on top. One of my bitches whelped 6 days earlier then her due date and had her pups on the living room floor. It was completely covered in paper. Her box was at the shop waiting to be picked up I just hadn't been able to get their before the shop shut.

Re: Help!
Two questions answered please.

Liquid life aid is aimed at farm animals. How do you know what to administer for puppies?

Dopram is a prescription only drug. Should I ask my vet for this?

I am going to try and upload a photo of my girl in the hope that some of you might be able to guess what day she is. I am guessing she is about day 50 but not at all sure. This is only surmised after a conversation with her previous owner.


Thank you all for your help and kindness so far.
