Sleep would be Good and a Little Worried...

Puppies are doing well, hardly ever fussing, roaming all over whelping box. Happy campers! Figgy has me a little worried she is panting and panting and not wanting to drink much at all. What is up with that? Usually they can't get enough water and drink buckets full at a time. Ran her into my vet for a check and xray this morning just to be sure and all felt and looked normal. 102.5 Temperature, same as I got yesterday and this morning. She didn't pant all that much at the vet, but now we are back home in her whelping box and more non-stop panting. I have been keeping the whelping box around 85. which you need to do for the pups health. It is not that hot. I did open up my A/C vent to my room a bit wider,  as I do have the whelping box draped in a light sheet 3/4 way around to prevent drafts from chilling the puppies.
Retained placenta, retained puppy and/or eclampsia can cause constant panting. They can run a bit warm and pant after whelping, but I have not had one pant quite so much and the not drinking has me worried. She has milk but not tons of it. With only 5 pups, she should have a lot of extra milk.

I know both Figgy and I could use some real sleep. Constantly getting interrupted by little chirps and peeps in the night, takes it's toll. Each time I hear a pup, I sit up and look to make sure all is well. Why does it seem that they are a bit more vocal at night? Murphy's Law?

We had a power outage last night around 10:30 p.m..... it did get a bit hot and stuffy then, but thank goodness it was not that hot of a night and they did get it back on in an hour or so.

Hey it is quiet, no panting for a few minutes. I think she is sleeping... Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............... Good idea, nap time for me and then time to dig back into work! oh darn she is sleeping panting too now.

I will post the puppy weight chart later... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
