Puppy Difficult Wet Delivery

In this article I discuss some methods of helping during a difficult and/or wet puppy delivery.

While your matron is doing her part with the delivery, you can gently but firmly grip the puppy’s sac with the aid of a towel or diaper. Hold the puppy in a position of presentation to prevent it from being withdrawn back into the birth canal. Each time your  matron has a contraction the puppy is closer to birth. You, as a  mid-wife need only to hold the puppy to prevent withdrawal and allow Nature to work.

Sometimes it may be difficult to grip the puppy’s sac. If the head is definitely presented first, break open the sac from around the  puppy’s head. Immediately use a pediatric bulb syringe to suction amniotic fluid from the puppy’s mouth.

A difficult or large  puppy may require more than two or three contractions. In general, there should be no more than four contractions. If more than four contractions there may be a problem if the  puppy has not been whelped. You may need a professional vet’s assistance at this point.

A breech delivery puppy is presented rear-foremost. The hind legs are tucked against the puppy’s abdomen in the direction of the head. This presentation normally does not present a problem for the  puppy or the matron because the head of a puppy is larger in circumference than the body. Puppies are generally whelp freely and do not require professional assistance.

A breech delivery can be difficult to assist when a puppy is confined in the slippery sac. Surgical gloves are helpful for securely holding the slippery sac. Gauze pads make a second good choice. A thin towel is adequate as a third choice. If none of these items are available and you must work with your bare hands, use your fingers. Gently secure a grip on each side of the puppy without applying undue pressures. As each contraction occurs, apply a steady, firm pressure, preventing the puppy from slipping back inside the birth canal. Never pull!

I recommend giving matron "special" food after delivery. Try using one of the canned foods from Life's Abundance. Wait a little while also as she will have all that nature provides her for nourishment as she consumes each placenta from her baby. Some people think to NOT allow matron to eat the placenta is the best way to go. I disagree. I believe nature provides our animals with ways to nourish their body through the consuming of the placenta or after birth. This usually comes just after the puppy is born. It is full of nature's nourishment.

After she is settled in with her puppies and for a few days after the birth, offer her some canned food from Life's Abundance. She will appreciate the "special" food as a way of pampering her. You also need to give her the dry food as she wants it.

Pork and Venison is a good choice, however, use the flavor your matron likes best.
