Update on new pups

    • Puppy
    What rwbeagles about suctioning them out or slinging them is what I was going to suggest.  It is not too late to try that now.  What slinging them means is to hold them tightly in your hands and support the head with it facing down.  Hold them up and swing the puppy down between your knees.  Does that make sense to you?  What you are doing is using gravity and the force to bring fluid out of the lungs.  Also try taking a babysuction ball and sucking the fluid out of the lungs.  And yes I have had ones gasp like you are saying even after doing all this and they still make it.  Good luck wit them.

    I'm not going to be slinging pups hopefully next time...I am going to get a Delee trap like the hospitals use. Myra Harris said they work tons better than slinging or suctioning.....and they are not very expensive....so I'll buy one when I plan the next litter. Just wanted to pass the word on them...in case anyone else was interested!
