Het eerste nestje is op komst

Re: Het eerste nestje is op komst
Tja pyton spuiten.... daar zijn heel veel verschillende adviezen voor.
Ik zou zeker niets spuiten voordat de eerste pup is geboren, en daarna "kijken". Een teefje kan prima een langere pauze hebben zonder problemen. Als het teefje rustig is en niet perst is dat prima. Mijn Joy gaf na uren rust nog een gezonde pup, waar niks mis mee was.
Ik heb ene keer gehad, toen waren er al pups geboren en mocht er pyton gespoten worden, omdat ze wel perstte maar niet doorzette. Ik had steeds contact met de dierenarts en die zei gegeven moment om een 2e keer te spuiten. Maar mijn gevoel zat niet lekker en ben naar de dierenarts gegaan voor een keizersnee. Dat was maar goed ook, pup lag er dwars voor. Teefje en pups hebben het allemaal overleefd- ik weet niet wat er was gebeurd als ik een 2e keer had gespoten en mogelijk de baarmoeder was geknapt oid... Tis een stukje overleg met de dieenarts, kijken naar je teefje en "gevoel".....
Er is een heel interessant stuk over "whelping pause" - heb het hier niet bij de hand, maar daar zou ik even op googlen.

Puur Utero, heb je dat bij elke bevalling nodig? Of is dit iets preventief ivm het schonen van de baarmoeder? Als het preventief is, hoe lang moet je dit dan geven?
Bij de dierenarts haal ik over 1,5 week Pyton op. Aan verschillende fokkers gevraagd die al veel nesten hebben gehad van hoeveel geef je en dan zie je toch dat het allemaal verschilt. De ene geeft als er 45 min geen pup is gekomen 0.3 ml, de andere elk 1,5 uur 0.5 ml als er geen pup komt ... Hoe doen jullie dit? Natuurlijk wil ik het liefst niets geven, maar langs de andere kant ben ik blij dat de dierenarts het meegeeft zodat het in huis is.
Ik heb het (Utero) nog nooit gebruikt bij het werpen.
Ik wacht 2 uur, geen pup, spuit ik 0.3 ml. (Sheltie) Bij de Duitsers 0.4 ml.

Re: Het eerste nestje is op komst
Op youtube heb ik al naar vele filmpjes gekeken, zal eens even op zoek naar whelping pause
Wat mij wel opvalt op de vele filmpjes is dat vele fokkers de pups allemaal "vast grijpen met een doek" vooraleer de moeder erbij kan. Vindt dat eigenlijk raar, want naar mijn gevoel moet de moeder toch dat eerste contact hebben en "haar taak" uitvoeren.
Geven jullie moeders tijdens de bevalling als ze wilt eten, eten? En zo ja, wat? Gewoon de percentages zoals ze ook de eerste week na de bevalling krijgt of puur spiervlees bv?

Whelping - Proper use of Oxytocin versus Calcium
by Myra Savant Harris and Susan Patterson
OXYTOCIN
Most vets want to base the oxy dose on weight (which is never done with humans; it is not weight regulated) then that 0.1 ccs per 10 pounds of body weight turns into 2 ccs for a 200 pound Mastiff. When you take into account that it would only take about 0.3-0.4 ccs (mixed one cc per 1000 liters of IV fluids, run through an IVAC pump) dripped over 24 hours or so to get from induction to delivery on a 200 pound woman!
I still think that it is used much too generously in vet medicine and it is generally given as a bolus injection. And, the worst part is that it is not uniformly dosed. We all follow the exact same protocol for the administration of oxytocin, but vets do not. A clumber breeder's vet gave her prefilled syringes with 1 cc of oxy in each. She used four of them. Five of her nine puppies were born dead, a very predictable outcome. The other thing that bothers me about using it in the canine is that it is simply never....and I do mean never....used on a human unless she is being monitored and I don't mean listening to the fetal heart tones with a doppler. Monitoring means nothing unless you use both uterine monitoring and fetal heart monitoring because the only component of fetal monitoring that is diagnostic is what the fetal heart (actually the brain as I'm sure you know) does during and immediately after a contraction. It is the correlation between the contraction and the fetal heart rate that is diagnostic for fetal distress and there is no substitute. I still firmly believe that oxytocin has no place in home use. As a clean out shot, perhaps if there are definitely no puppies left to kill, but used to change the quality or quantity of the contractions...Never.
O for Oxytocin
written by Myra Savant Harris - 8/9/2012
I found this article about the damaging effects of Oxytocin, a drug routinely used in hospital labor/delivery departments by obstetricians for inductions and augmentation of labor. It was so well researched that I felt it must be shared with dog breeders everywhere. It covers the use of oxytocin and its many dangerous side effects. Oxytocin is specifically only approved by the FDA when medically indicated. This means that there must be a medical reason why the baby must be delivered right now rather than letting mom go into labor on her own. It is not safe to use for elective inductions according to the FDA. Most of the information here was taken from the article but changed into canine terms because it was originally an article about human use of Oxytocin. The same principles apply. Here is the link to the entire article:
http://www.birthroutes.com/2010/05/pito ... ions-.html
Oxytocin crosses the placenta and enters the blood and brain of the fetus within seconds or minutes. There appears to be a correlation between fetal exposure to oxytocin and autism in the exposed offspring. The manufacturer of oxytocin warns the provider in the package insert:
Maternal deaths due to hypertensive episodes, subarachnoid hemorrhage, rupture of the uterus, fetal deaths and permanent brain damage of the baby due to various causes have been reported to be associated with the use of oxytocin for induction of labor or for augmentation of labor. Because oxytocin is used so commonly to stimulate and augment labor it is important that each dog breeder who uses it has a full understanding of its potential dangers:
maternal hypertensive episodes (abnormally high blood pressure)
subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in area surrounding spinal cord)
anaphylactic reaction (exaggerated allergic reaction)
postpartum hemorrhage (uterine hemorrhage following birth)
cardiac arrhythmias (non-normal heart rate)
fatal afibrinogenemia (loss of blood clotting fibrin)
premature ventricular contraction (non-normal heart function)
pelvic hematoma (blood clot in the pelvic region)
uterine hypertonicity (excessive uterine muscle tone)
uterine spasm (violent, distorted contraction of the uterus)
tetanic contractions (spasmodic uterine contractions)
uterine rupture
increased blood loss
convulsions (violent, involuntary muscle contraction(s)
coma (unconsciousness that cannot be aroused)
fatal oxytocin-induced water intoxication (undue retention of water marked by vomiting, depression of temperature, convulsions, and coma and may end in death
Fetal and Newborn Effects of Oxytocin Use
The following adverse effects of maternally administered oxytocin have been reported in the baby:
bradycardia (slow fetal heart rate)
premature ventricular contractions and other arrhythmias (abnormal heart function)
neonatal retinal hemorrhage leading to blindness
permanent central nervous system or brain damage
fetal death
Uterine stimulants which shorten the oxygen-replenishing intervals between contractions, by making the contractions too long, too strong, or too close together, increase the likelihood that fetal brain cells will die. The situation is analogous to holding an infant under the surface of the water, allowing the infant to come to the surface to gasp for air, but not to breathe. All of these effects increase the possibility of neurologic insult to the fetus. No one really knows how often these adverse effects occur, because there is no law or regulation in any country which requires the doctor to report an adverse drug reaction to the FDA.
The entire birth experience in the canine world has seemingly lost contact with the importance of the natural rhythms of birth and how vitally they are connected to the natural daily rhythms of life. Being born without medical interference and drugs gives all mammals an important imprint for life. Navigating through birth, both drug and intervention free, provides young of the species with these important imprints; birth is a very important transition that sets babies of all species up for life. In a normal, natural labor the contractions build, increasing in intensity, they go up and peak, and then they come down the other side. There is a natural space in between each contraction in which both mom and baby can rest and gather their strength for the next wave. When oxytocin is administered this natural cycle is lost, and contractions are unrelenting, one after the other, with no rest. This is what makes it both more painful for the birthing mom and traumatic for her babies. Please consider an oxytocin free birth experience for your bitches. You won’t be sorry you did.
CALCIUM
Calcium given prior to whelping can fool the parathyroid gland into not doing its job, which is to release the bodies calcium during whelping. Many people put their bitch on puppy food or use a food with a high calcium-phosphorus ratio and they are simply not aware of the impact. Or they supplement or unintentionally feed extra calcium rich foods. Know what your food calcium-phoshorus ratio is, the closer to 1:1 the better, check it out here http://starsenchihuahuas.com/information.html
Calcium during whelping - Proper use of calcium during whelping allows the body to work with itself to maximize contractions without putting the puppy at risk. Calcium works with the calcium released by the parathyroid to increase contractions without premature placental detatchment. You can use OralCal Plus, Tums, Citrical Tablets, or other calcium supplements that you purchase for human consumption.
I have also had good success with getting calcium into my girls by offering them Premium vanilla ice cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, or Mother's Pudding (see recipe elsewhere in Files). The advantage of using both ice cream and Mother's Pudding is that it also gives the bitch extra glucose (energy) to feed the muscles during contraction. If I cannot get glucose into them that way then I syringe a sugar/pedialyte mixture after each calcium dose. The calcium and the glucose work together to help the body efficiently go through labor and whelping, maximizing muscle contractions for efficient productive pushing.
Additionally you can help stimulate whelping by having nipple stimulation with puppies nursing, walking, vaginal feathering all work to help the bitch in safe and efficient ways.

Re: Het eerste nestje is op komst
Zolang moeder rustig is tijdens het werpen zou ik ze niet te veel forceren.
Voorlaatste nest zat 4 uur tussen 1ste en 2de pup. Heb ook al een nest gehad waar het laatste pupje 7 uur later kwam.
Als het tussen 2 pups wat langer duurt laat ik het teefje even uit.

The Whelping Pause
A Naturally Occurring Event -
Revised by Myra Savant Harris 8/8/20102
Dog breeders and vets alike have gotten into the habit of identifying an event that is completely normal and natural during the whelping process for many bitches as “uterine inertia”. The bitch has delivered one or more puppies and then she has stopped contracting. She is no longer in labor. She is in a “Whelping Pause”, a completely naturally occurring event. This has been viewed as an emergency that requires the use of oxytocin and when that doesn’t work (and it doesn’t) it is followed by a c-section. This has been happening for so many years that it is a near insurmountable task to re-educate the dog breeder and change this practice. During my seminars in the last year or so I’ve been asking for a show of hands of how many breeders have experienced this event; a cessation of contractions in an otherwise free whelp and I’ve been keeping statistics. I see hundreds of dog breeders a year and here is what I have found: 60-75% of all dog breeders have experienced the whelping pause. Most of them have gone in for c-sections and some of them have lost their bitches. Many of them have lost puppies. The rest of them simply didn’t know that their bitch was carrying another puppy or two and so they happily went to bed after the free whelp and the next morning they woke up to an extra puppy or so in with mom. The first thing I would like to teach you is that anything that happens 60-75% of the time is not a medical emergency; it is a normal event.
What happens when a bitch experiences a temporary cessation of contractions is not uterine inertia and it is not a medical emergency. I call it the “whelping pause” and it is nothing more complex than Mother Nature stepping in to give mom time to either replenish her supplies of oxytocin or parathyroid hormone, or time to bond with or feed the puppies that she has already whelped. Perhaps the puppies left behind need a lot more time to work their way down the uterine horns and out the birth canal. Perhaps they need a few more hours to develop surfactant in their lungs. This cessation of contractions can last up to 24 hours without harm to the bitch for a certainty and probably even as long as 48. This “pause” in the whelping of a litter is a normal occurrence; it is a natural event. It can last easily as long as 24 hours and I’ve talked with breeders who have had healthy happy puppies born as much as 48 hours after the rest of the litter.
Litters are not delivered in the same way that a single human baby is delivered and the human terminology that we are accustomed to using is not appropriate when viewed from the prospective of the canine. Oddly enough, however, there was often a lengthy period of time between twins when a mom was allowed to deliver her twins vaginally. It was common for 3-4 hours to elapse between delivery of the first twin and deliver of the second twin. Now multiples are so routinely sectioned that everyone seems to have forgotten that a pause between twins was once viewed as normal when it occurred and it occurred a good portion of the time with no harm to mom or babies.
There are signs and symptoms that will let you know the difference between a completely normal and natural “whelping pause” and “uterine inertia” which is actually quite rare. You may have to rethink your priorities and begin to embrace new terms, new opinions and release some of your fears and panic before you can accept that what we have been viewing as a medical emergency is actually a normal part of the canine whelping condition. Here is an outline of what is happening in the canine reproduction world now. This is what is happening now with great regularity:
The bitch has whelped one or more puppies but has other puppies still in utero.
She has stopped contracting completely and totally.
She is comfortable, sleeping, and nursing her babies and caring for them just as if the whelp is complete..
She will eat a snack and usually an entire meal.
She will pee, poop, and drink large amounts of fluid.
She does not show signs of distress, pain, discomfort or anxiety.
Repeated calls to the vet result in instructions that a puppy is not delivered every 2-3 hours it is an emergency situation requiring a c-section.
Often breeders or vets inject oxytocin (in shockingly large quantities) in an effort to re-start the contractions but the oxytocin will not create contractions. Actually you can use dynamite and you will not be able to start contractions.
An “emergency” C-section is performed and sometimes the bitch or her puppies die. Breeders are told that they waited too long to call for help.
Here is the problem that I have with this whole scenario: Only in the veterinary world is a patient who is eating, sleeping, caring for her young and completely comfortable

Re: Het eerste nestje is op komst
Dankje Kaszi, die bedoelde ik inderdaad !
Ik heb 1 keer een kitten verloren, die kwam in stuit en bleef halverwege hangen. Ik moest wachten op een volgende wee om te helpen. Het kitten leek in orde, zoog ook, maar ging in de loop vd eerste 24 uur hoesten. Nog antibiotica en van alles geprobeerd, maar waarschijnlijk toch teveel vruchtwater binnen gekregen door de stuitligging en de trage geboorte.
Ja, als ze tijdens de bevalling iets willen, dan krijgen ze dat. Liefst iets met wat meer energie. Wat gemalen vlees, of kwark/geitenmelk met honing en/of een ei. Iets wat ze makkelijk naar binnen kunnen slobberen dus.
Ja, ik zou ook moeders het zelf laten doen. Meestal gaat dat allemaal vanzelf. Een reden voor mij om te helpen is als een pup/kitten in stuit ligt en niet vlot afkomt.... dan help ik met een wee mee.Valerie schreef:Op youtube heb ik al naar vele filmpjes gekeken, zal eens even op zoek naar whelping pauseWat mij wel opvalt op de vele filmpjes is dat vele fokkers de pups allemaal "vast grijpen met een doek" vooraleer de moeder erbij kan.

Bij een Sheltie reken je ongeveer 500 gram per pup. Dat is bij de Duitse Herder nog meer.

Oei dan wil ik niet weten hoeveel de DH teef waar ik een pup uit hoop te krijgen, ben de derde voor een reu, weegt. Die draagt er zeker 9 á 10 en mogelijk zelfs 11.

Re: Het eerste nestje is op komst
Even nog een klein vraagje. Alles ligt klaar in huis, dus nu nog even met de laatste zaken bezig. Voor de bevalling zelf ben ik een lijstje aan het maken met wat er allemaal op genoteerd moet worden. Ik heb voorlopig volgende zaken erop staan:
Tijdstip geboren
Bandje
reu/teef
kleur
gewicht
gewone bevalling/stuit
nageboorte
Andere bevindingen
Ontbreek ik nog iets voor tijdens de geboorte wat genoteerd moet worden?

Nee hoor, prima zo. Wat de kleur betreft: Verwacht je er wolfsgrauwen bij ? Anders lijken ze mij allemaal zwart-bruin/ zwart-geel te worden.
