Pitbull Owners-Help Me out!!

[BigCracker]

Mods, sorry for being a pain in the ass but I'm about to be a dad and I'm sweating like Flava Flav at a Klan Rally over my pitbull bitch being prego. Feel free to move this after I get a few serious responses. I'd have originally posted this in the proper forum, but I'm not sure if the Pitbull owners here on the AAS discussion board(there's quite a few) would see it there.

Anyway guys-what am I in for? I'd say she's around 5-7 weeks prego. Her nips started to grow/drop about 2 weeks ago. I'm seriously scared I'm gonna freak out when she goes into labor. I can handle gross shit, but I'm scared that I may panic since it's my own dog that I care about. All I know is stuff I read online. If you guys could give me 411 on your personal experiences I'd appreciate it. I basically need to know the care from birth to 6-8 wks. Thx.

man, Pits are natural survivors, can't anything stop them. they're freaking amazing. you really shouldn't have to do anything. `cept give her space. never know how she might act. especially if there are kids around...

My brindle pit, Lillie is the best dog I've ever had, and I've had 50 plus. Her only two litters, were great. Eight pups the first time, and ten the second, all little hosses. Like HT said they pretty much handle it themselves, she barely whimpered and was a great mother. They'll probably look like you, though.... bummer.

dogs have been reproducing for many gazillion years without humn intervention. Why not let nature take its course. I would just lock her in an area that you dont mind getting a little gross and is easy to clean, but she will clean most of the stuff anyway. Eating the afterbirth etc sounds gross but it replenishes needed nutrition to her. Dont watch! Go drink beer. Chances are you will just get home some day and there they will be. You sound like a person having their own human child! LOL! I love my animals that much too though!

yeah. maybe a carpet cleaner. cuz it's gonna be her choice where she has them.

it really isn't that gross aside from the mother eating all of the puppies shit and piss, and licking their asses after they go to the bathroom. that is how they get their nutrients. when they give birth its really not a big deal at all just some gross membranes but you will be fine. your bitch is gonna be super protective of those puppies too
