Isn't this neat? Breeders, what do you think? Would you use this?
http://www.whelpwise.com/
In almost every whelping there is a period of time when the breeder will wonder what is actually occurring either with the labor process itself, or concern about whether the pups are alive and well. The WhelpWise service was developed specifically to address the puzzling times surrounding a whelping by providing the breeder with accurate information on presence or absence of labor, and assessments of fetal well being as detected by the monitoring equipment. Uterine contraction and fetal heart rate monitoring equipment provided through the WhelpWise service will allow the breeder to know when labor has begun, and directly monitor the heart rates of the puppies. The service is always offered in conjunction with licensed veterinarians. This equipment, designed for use in the home setting, contains a built in modem that links the breeder, via phone, with specially trained obstetrical staff and protocols for whelping management.
WhelpWise begins 4-5 days before the expected due date and continues until whelping is complete. Information on uterine contractions is gathered twice daily for one hour, and fetal heart rates are checked at least once daily. This information is transferred over the phone line to the monitor center for interpretation. A baseline value for uterine contractions and fetal heart rates is determined in the days prior to whelping. When labor begins, monitoring frequency increases, and the equipment is used as often as needed during whelping.
