thanks for the information. I do have some trimmers and I will try to trim her without stressing her out. I do beleive her stomach has dropped this morning because she is now carrying very low. I will post some pics after I trim her stomach so that I can be sure. She is now wobbling and cant make it up and down the steps. I live in a split foyer house so there is only five steps to get upstairs and five steps to get into the basement. She use to go up and down but know it's a struggle for her. Is that normal? She can also no longer jump on my bed.

Oh yes, that is very normal. And at this point, I don't think you want her jumping on or off anything. My girl is barely pregnant (still wondering in fact) & I already freak out when I see her jumping on and off furniture.

i try to keep her from jumping but as soon as she hear dogs barking in the neighborhood or the doorbell she jumps up and start barking. Today she has been laying around sleeping and licking herself a lot. She is licking herself so much that she is leaving a huge wet spot on her bed. Is that normal for her to be licking that much? I do see lots of moving in her stomach which is funny because yesterday the movements was very faint. i see the most moving closer to her vulva. are the puppies suppose to be that low this fast. I heard at least two heartbeats in that area today that was very clear. I am kinda concerned because the previous owners stated that they did in fact tie on May 11th which should put her at around 53 to 54 days which means that she may be due around the 14th of july. She goes for an xray in a couple of days so I guess I would get a more accurate picture of things however she is not acting herself. She is still digging under my bed and going from room to room almost like she is pacing. I have tried to take her temp but I had no success not even with her Pet-temp theromometer that goes into the ear. Is this behavior normal? She did eat a little of her food around 7am. I am posting more pictures of her stomach and maybe they can be compared to the previous ones posted to insure me that her stomach did indeed dropp

It is very normal for her to lick her self a lot. She is just doing it to keep herself clean and in anticipation of the upcoming puppies. It does look like the pups might have dropped but I can't say for sure. It is common to feel movement low near the vulva once the pups have dropped. I just wonder if she could have bred before May 11. Did you ask if she was left unattended with the male during her heat cycle? Most don't like having their temperature taken but I hold them firmly and I don't have much problem taking the temperature.

luckylady · 07-05-2009, 09:08 AM

Comparing your newest pictures with the pictures you posted before, I can sure see a difference, looking like the puppies are indeed moving down. Everything you've said that she is doing sounds completely normal for a female at this stage of pregnancy, going by a pregnancy chart I have.
I am anxious to hear what the xray shows. When will it be done? Be sure to let us know how many pups she is expecting when you get the news.

chattiesmom · 07-05-2009, 09:54 AM

Congratulations on your upcoming litter. How exciting. Both mom and dad are cutie pies. I will be watching for updates.

yorkiemomma812 · 07-05-2009, 09:55 AM

The xray was suppose to be done on Wednesday but I got a voic mail from the vet assistant saying that no appointments was suppose to been made for next week becaue the vet is on vacation. I don't know what to do with her being so far along and me not knowing how many puppies she will have. the vet assistant seem to think that she will be fine until the following Monday which is the the 13th of July because it's her first litter but she is extremely big. I hope she holds out

Emma Lee · 07-05-2009, 12:14 PM

this is so exciting. Emma is 57 days today and she has really started licking more her temp today has been a steady 98.5 so maybe it won't be to much longer and maybe ours will have their puppies at the same time that would be so cool. I am attaching pics so you can see how her belly looks.

yorkiemomma812 · 07-05-2009, 03:12 PM

OMG!!!!! She is so beautiful. Maybe we will have them about the same time. how do you get her to let you take temp because it's so so hard for me. I really need to start taking it

yorkiemomma812 · 07-05-2009, 03:29 PM

Thank you so much. She is really trusting she doesn't care what I do to her she just sits there and takes it.

yorkiemomma812 · 07-06-2009, 04:04 AM

Good morning!!!! Heav'ne temp this morning was 98.1 does that mean she is near? I kinda scared because she is only 56 days as of today.

Princessangela3 · 07-06-2009, 06:14 AM

When Bella whelped last week I was anxiously awaiting just as you are. I kept wondering does this mean she is close? When she started I had no doubt that it was time. Somehow instincts take over and I knew it was time. Her behavior was completely different. She always wanted to be with me but when the time came she literally would not leave, kept trying to hide under my arm or behind my back. She NEVER wanted in her whelping box but she started taking her Ducky (favorite toy) inside and she turned her nose to ANY food.
I hope your girl goes a bit longer before having the pups. Good Luck it can be an amazing experience

yorkiemomma812 · 07-06-2009, 10:24 AM
