BEARINATOR 2,864 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Make sure she is getting a bit extra food and less excersize, make sure you get her used to the whelping area before she is due so she is comfortable in it. Terriers normally whelp without any problems but pre-warn your vet of her due date just in case. Good luck with your litter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terrier.2 123 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 as above ..the last week let her quieten down and make sure her whelping area is free from kids etc pestering her.i always darken the area think it tends to make them feel a bit more secure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebolt 4 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 what type of bedding should she be on to whelp and what food should i give her once she has had the pups Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BEARINATOR 2,864 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 vetzyme bedding is good mate as you can put it in the washer and it dries like new, just keep feeding her the same food but a bit extra as it will take the weight off her feeding pups Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the_stig 6,614 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 when she starts whelping try and leave her to it just keep an eye on things they hate a load of fuss - keep your vets no handy and try and enjoy it .. keep your old newspapers and a towel handy .. i keep plenty of old newspaper in the whelping box once the pups are a few days old i put old carpet in the bottom of the box and a fleece blanket as the pups get older i use shreeded paper - everyones as differant methods .. i used to just put em on a bale of straw and leave em to it ..
