Briedog my first lab had both her litters on the 59th day so I hope they should be ok.
We are all rooting for you xxxxxx

No decent info I'm afraid- I'm just not knowledgeable/experienced enough:( But I really do send you the very best of luck and wishes;) Could your vet not do a scan or anything to see if they can tell anymore? Please keep us up to date with how she's doing;)

Hi Terri, I have had pups born three days early, ie 60 days and all have been fine. However all the dog books say that pups are capable of surviving after day 53, but have not had an personal experience of this.
Your second question is a bit more complicated.This is just how I would do things, vet permitting of course. If the first pup was born dead after a very long labour, or she had comlications getting it out, I would ask for a c sect. If the pup was born dead after a normal labour and quick delivery, the chances are the rest will follow OK. I would ask your vet his /her opinion. It may well depend on the number of pups your bitch is carrying. If it is a large litter, say 9 or more, and the first one is a problem, it would probably be easier for her to have the op done. Wishing you all the best, please keep us informed. x

Hi Terri, wish i could be of more help.My last litter was born 58/59 days, sweepy went overnight but started early afternoon on day 58 with four born & then five the following day. Not much help really but do hope everything goes well for all of you. Take care.

the vet didnot wanted to stress her out or do any inturnals,or scann,incase it was a infection and not a dead puppy,so that why he waiting untill friday when the date is better for survial,she as eaten well this morning and had a good night,she resting under the desk in the office at the moment,which she like this place as a puppy so i think and she think this is where the puppy can be born,i donot care where their born has long has she ok first then the puppies,

thank you all for writing i keep you all inform,

love from a very sad terri

Hi, I have had live puppies born during the night of the 57/58th day, if you see what I mean and they were fine.If she is going to whelp normally I would get a tube of that stuff that is squirted in new borns mouths to help with breathing - my c section pups are all given this at birth - I think its called Dopram, I do hope all goes well for you both.

got dopram in the cupbroad,thank you,

I've got everything crossed for you Terri. I hope Brie is ok and the pups hang on for a few more days.

Good luck, and lots of love,

Fiona

Hi Terri

Will phone you - just picked up on this

Love Jo

H Terri, glad to hear she`s had a restful night. Forgot to say when my pupps were born they were all fine. Don`t know if you`ve thought of this but Vit C is very good for stress & boosting the immune system, either in the form of calcium or sodium ascorbate as its more gentle on the tum than ascorbic acid & can`t do any harm. Hope all stays well.

she on vit c 1000gm plus vit b,from the beginning.she sitting out side suning herself at the moment.

Taking vit D I suppose to go with all the other vits!!

Dear Terri,
My pups were born on the 56th day and I was really worried. My bitch had a perfectly normal labour with no problems and had seven puppies. One died after 24 hours but I think we would have lost him anyway as he was so much smaller than the other six. All the puppies are now nearly a year old and are doing great.I hope everything works out for you,
Best Wishes for you and your girl,
Amy

I have had litters born 4 days early and whelped a friends bitch 6 days early ALL the puppies were fine.......emmaxxxxxx

Sorry can't help, but just wanted to wish Brie well and hope everything goes OK with Mum and puppies:)
