Another question please.............for those who use pit shots for
their bitches who are whelping........how many cc's do you use at one
time? How much should I be asking my vet to give me tomorrow for my
bitch who is having the small litter? The x-ray showed 2 puppies.
Someone said they never use pit shots. I must admit...........in all my
litters I've whelped, I never once used a pit shot on any of them.
Thanks again, Barbara
Once a bitch has a puppy, if there is nothing going on after and hour and a
half, 1/2 to 3/4 a cc under the skin. Make sure there isn't a puppy in the
birth canal before you give the shot. A strong contraction could trap the
umbilical cord of the puppy against the bitch's pelvic bone and suffocate the
puppy. You don't have to poke around to see if there is a puppy in the birth
canal; place the palm of you hand on the outside of the bitch between her back
legs. If the area there is soft and pliable, there's no puppy in the birth
canal. If you can feel that it is hard and taught, there is a puppy coming
and it has entered the birth canal.
