Whelping a litter of puppies can sometimes be physically and emotionally exhausting for both you and the matron. Before you take your well deserved rest, be certain the matron and puppies are comfortable, each puppy has nursed well, the heat lamp is not too close, and the heating pad is not turned up too high.
At this time it is crucial to maintain proper environmental temperatures. Newborn puppies are incapable of controlling their own body temperatures. Chilling to any degree leaves newborn puppies susceptible to infectious disease. Room temperature should be maintained at about 85 degrees Fahrenheit for at least their first few days.
Initially offer your dam only soft, messy-type foods such as the canned foods from Life's Abundance:
To prevent serious cleanup problems, place four interlocking layers of open newspaper on the floor over heavy plastic film such as that used by painters. Plastic sheeting covered by newspaper saves all flooring, is nonporous, makes any cleanup easy and is inexpensive to purchase.
Use Clorox bleach, 1/2 cup to a gallon of water to disinfect the Shih Tzu whelping box and immediate area. You will need to disinfect daily.
Your dam should be seen by a veterinarian for a postpartum examination within 24 hours of whelping. It is not uncommon for a dam to retain one or more placentas, large amounts of blood and other body fluids in the uterus. It is also possible that she retained one or two puppies as well. All of these need to be expelled immediately. Retention will predispose the dam to infection. Many veterinarians will give the oxytocin shot within the first 24 hours of whelping to help her expel any retained fluids, placental material and/or puppies.
