Help-2-Whelp™

The pregnant bitches’ companion

A supplement to be added to the bitches diet, as a top dressing or mixed in with food, 7-10 days before expected whelping (not to be administered after whelping).  Help-2-Whelp helps generate prolonged muscle contraction during whelping, reducing inter-puppy birth interval, ultimately reducing the occurrence of stillbirths.

Recommend Daily Requirements:

(7-10 days before expected whelping) Not to be given after whelping.

Small Breed          1 scoop of Help-2-Whelp formula

Medium Breed      1.25 scoops of Help-2-Whelp formula

Large                    2 level scoops of Help-2-Whelp formula

Giant Breed           2 heaped scoops of Help-2-Whelp formula

If for any reason the pregnant bitch reject the preparation on her food, then add 1 part of Help-2-Whelp + 4 parts of water and administer by mouth once a day.

Help-2-Whelp contains the following ingredients;

Calcium ions (Ca2+), Dextrose (blood sugar), Electrolytes. Nucleotides.

Success in Whelping

Whelping is generally assessed on the number of puppies produced.  Ultimately, there are two main factors that contribute to maximizing success;

·        Number born alive

·        Survival to weaning

Still Births

Recorded data shows 1–1.5 puppies per litter are delivered still born.  Approximately 70% of classified still births are alive at birth but are severely anoxic (oxygen deficient) and die immediately.  Prolonged whelping is the primary cause of anoxia as it is related to compression/premature rupture of the umbilical cord resulting in asphyxia.

Many factors are known to affect the occurrence of still borns.  The major factors known to directly influence stillbirths are;

·        Litter Size

·        Physical Fitness of the bitch

·        Parity (No. of pregnancies)

Litter Size

Large litters increase the inter-puppy birth interval due to the bitch experiencing muscle fatigue thus increasing the risk of anoxia.  In addition, as the number of puppies born increases birth weights decrease therefore the puppies are less viable leading to an additive risk.

 Physical Fitness

Prolonged whelping is caused by reduced physical fitness, excessive feed consumption, constipation, excess fat, stress and age.

The average whelping interval;

·        Bitches                       40 min

·        Maiden Bitches          30 min

However, poor physical condition can increase the whelping interval to 60 min +.

Parity

With increasing parity the duration of parturition increases ultimately increasing stillbirths.  Risk factors associated with parity:-

How does Help-2-Whelp work?

Smooth muscle contraction is essential during whelping.  The smooth muscles have a huge impact on whelping rate and inter-puppy birth interval. The muscle activity depends on many factors including action potential and integrity of the muscles.  Muscle integrity will decrease with increasing parity and litter size.

Calcium ions (Ca2+) are an essential driving force in smooth muscle contraction.  Ca2+ ions are essential in generating the action potential for contracting muscle.  Sufficient production of the calcium ions at the appropriate stage is essential for efficient muscle contraction.

Help-2-Whelp provides an encapsulated form of calcium in conjunction with an acidic carrier to maximize calcium ion generation. 

The capsulation/acid combination ensures the ions are produced in the correct proportion and are available at the active site.  Correct pH condition is essential as it is responsible for the shift in the calcium form.

The calcium ions used in Help-Whelp is of the same quality that is used by the veterinary profession for injecting both into the animals blood stream and/or intramuscular procedures.
