This is Pistol...
We have been waiting patiently for Pistol to have puppies for a bit. She seemed like she was going to give birth early so we were on alert more than a week ahead of schedule.
Finally, the day had arrived, and Pistol’s first clue to her
imminent delivery was her panting heavily.
I had the puppy room all ready to go. The pool was in place with
receiving blankets, a nose aspirator, scissors, and baby wipes are all tools I
utilize during a birthing.
The lightbulb over the pool was the only light on, providing
warmth for the wet, newborn puppies.
I sat with her for a couple hours before she finally started
to have contractions with her first puppy. I could see her water bag and 2
little puppy feet sticking out.
It took her about 20 minutes to actually start having strong
contractions. I was a little nervous, this being her first litter.
The puppy was coming soon. It was a tight fit for the first
puppy, and I assisted by grabbing the puppy's hips and gently applying firm,
downward pressure. Only when Pistol was having contractions at the same time.
Out he popped! And I scrambled for the aspirator and
suctioned his nose and mouth out.
The first puppy was breathing and looked good. I waited about
10 minutes before I cut the cord. I always try to let my moms chew it off, but
her being a first-time mom, she didn’t want to focus on the cord.
The first puppy presented without a problem, and I crossed my
fingers that the others would as well.
7 hours later... Pistol had 6 puppies total! All Black and
white with most of them having white faces. 4 boys, and 2 girls, all healthy.
Pistol is a great mom, and she took care of each puppy as it
was born.
I’m very thankful for the healthy puppies that we have each
time.
And having a great birthing experience is a great way to
start our puppies off in this life ❤️
