My dog gave birth but......too many for me to handle. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (6027)   ranked 271 out of 9,773 in dogs7 months ago

I am so thrilled to welcome my first 'grand puppies' as my terrier dog finally awarded me with so many puppies. I was up the whole night on standby to monitor her delivery. I was nervous watching the process of her giving birth as it reminded me of the labour pain I went through during my delivery many years ago. I think animals are no difference as I see her twitching as her puppies come out one by one. It only took her less than an hour to deliver all her puppies. I acted as a 'nurse' and recorded everything. Luckily there wasn't any complications as the vet had told me that should there be any complications she need to go for c-section. She had 6 altogether but one was still birth. Now I am left with 5 puppies. The b&tch is small and it surprises me when she produced half a dozen of cute puppies but they are so tiny, the size of a handphone.

I am thinking of how to take care of them as these 5 puppies are far too many to care for. Do you think that I should keep them all or give them away to good homes? I am at a cross-road right now as they are all so cute. Taking care of all of them is draining my purse and giving them away is breaking my heart. What do you think?

You should give them away - you'd make a few kids happy when you do, Zandi. And really that's one of the best feelings you'll ever experience, when you give away a puppy to a kid you're practically giving that kid a friend for life. Besides, you have a few weeks to enjoy the puppies until they're ready to be weaned away from their mom. happy

I am so undecided at this juncture because the puppies are so adorable and I need to wait until they are ready to be weaned then maybe I'll decide the next course of action. But your decisions seems to be viable and I am nowshortlisting who should gain my trust to care for my grand puppies.

i think you should allow them to grow a bit then give them away as it might be cumbersome to maintain the whole lot..& yes! our dog delivered 4 puppies& i was there as she was houling in pain! i pity her that all died due to imaturity..nice time..

It is an unfortunate and sad case when all the puppies died. Luckily my puppies survived and came out healthily except for one who was born still birth. Giving them away breaks my heart but it is quite troublesome to care for the whole bunch of puppies.

However you are fond of the pets, it must be tough time to monitor the delivery and have them properly fed. Unless you can afford physically and financially, definatively with some help, you are to give up some some day. That is for the interest of both yourself and your pets. A short time painful departure will lead to long time peace and health. Believe you will manage it. God blesses.

This is no ordinary dog but something that is kept indoors like a real fluffy toy. I treat my pet dog almost the same way I treat human. Believe me, she sometimes sleep with my kids. But I don't know how the puppies turn out to be. I'll wait until they are big enough and decide whether to keep or give away.

how cute!lolif the puppies were mine I would have kept them for myself.I am single,and if those are my puppies,I will keep them all.however,if you can't keep them all,find them good homes.find a nice family that will love and care for them.give them away when they get a bit bigger and can survive on their own.enjoy the weeks you have with them.why don't you give me two?lol


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (6027)   ranked 271 out of 9,773 in dogs  7 months ago

I am thinking hard now coco. They are very adorable and I can't bear to think of separating them. Well, if you are nearby, I don't mind giving one to you as I see that you are capable of taking good care of a puppy.

Such a cutie! I wish I can have one.... I guess its practical to give them away. Believe me, their just cute for now because they are still adorable puppies but when they grow up you'll start to have headaches. Its not an easy obligation to care for pets. I guess you try to keep one and four try to give it away.
I have a terrier also and she gave birth to 5 puppies on 2005. My heart was breaking when I gave away three and two are with me right now and I feel like my headache with them will not stop.

Actually the terriers aren't big eaters and the one I have is a very small one with beautiful fluffy fur that she is often mistaken for a battery operated toy dog. Look at the picture of her here.

They need there mom for arleast 6 weeks I know its hard but its the truth. I hope you have puppy pads they accually help when they are in the house. Once they are 6 weeks old you can give/sell them as you please. They are very cute but expensive.


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (6027)   ranked 271 out of 9,773 in dogs  7 months ago

I agree keeping pet dogs is not cheap especially their foods. Quite expensive maintenance too.

Oh that's so cute!
If you can't take good care of them all you should give them away to your relatives or your sister or friends or people who can take good care of them properly. You can visit them once a week and can borrow them to take a walk when they little bit bigger.
Cheers.


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (6027)   ranked 271 out of 9,773 in dogs  7 months ago

This is a real good idea rain. I'll wait till they are ready for weaning before I decide who to give.

Thats a good story. you just have to remember, 5 extra puppies is alot of responsibility. Not only financially but morally as well. You must pay for the vet,shots, & food but you also must care for them. It's a pretty busy job especially with 5 puppies. If you feel your up to the challange keep them all;)


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (6027)   ranked 271 out of 9,773 in dogs  7 months ago

I think I am left with no time for other things if I were to keep them all.

I love puppies and I know how difficult it is to part with them. But I've also seen the face of a child when they are picking out the puppy, and really that just makes it worth it. It just gets so expensive to take care of multiple dogs with the vet bills, feedings, etc. I guess in the end though you have to decide how much you can handle and afford and still be able to properly care for them because it is a big financial responsibility. I'm sure you'll make the right choice.


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (6027)   ranked 271 out of 9,773 in dogs  6 months ago

Yah....that is what am thinking, the financial side of having to handle many pets. Moreover they are indoors dog and having many of them running around the house would turn my place into a kennel. lol

It all depends on how many you would like to keep. In my town I have a limitation for 3 pets per house. Maybe you can keep 2 and give away 3?
I am sure when proper time, you would be able to give away few puppies....


myLot reputation of 89/100. zandi458 (6027)   ranked 271 out of 9,773 in dogs  6 months ago

I will wait till they are ready to be weaned before I think of what to do with the extras. We are lucky we don't have laws to limit how many pets we can keep but having too many will not only tear my purse but I can't give them individual attention.
