You will see her body stiffen......Much like a human......Have you touched basis with your vet? Maybe taking her in today......You say she's looking very tired.....

JENMORR6 · 11-07-2009, 06:18 AM

she is lying in her box and if i try to pet her she graws. i took her out a few minutes ago and she kept stopping and licking. The thing is that she always lays around and sleeps but she never graws at me maybe the kids but not me i don't think she is having contractions. the vet don't close till 4pm today so i'm trying to give her some time b/c i think that would really frek her out

I have had two girls not go into having contractions, since there was something wrong. Not saying that there is with your girl, but like Mary stated you need to let your vet know and maybe have her checked out. Just better to be safe.

The first girl of mine that did not have contractions had a pup come out of its bag in utero. She ended up with a c-section and had two beautiful other babies that made it. We had to put her on antibiotic to make sure she did not have an infection, and she did run a little fever afterwards, but did so much better a few days later.
My other girl I have that did not go into having contractions had a pup into both horns and was stuck. No way was this pup going to make it out on its own. So we had to do a c-section. There are usually good reason why they do not have contractions and all the time in the world is not going to help.

Thanks for mentioning this.....and you are so right.....sometimes premature labor begins because something is wrong and other times labor doesn't begin at all. I do begin to worry on the last day of their last breeding......and it's so difficult on a first whelp to determine a females cycle. Always best to have your girl checked if there is any doubt whatsoever.

Being concerned about your girl being stressed over going to the vet????????Think of the alternative. Wouldn't you rather know, rather than risk her life.

I also had a girl that didn't have contractions. She was panting, but never went into labor because I had given her too much calcium. She ended up having a c-section and luckily all the puppies survived. I hope you do contact your vet especially since you didn't have an x-ray and that this is her first litter. I pray that everything goes well for you.

Yeah!!!!!! If she does an hour of hard pushing and nothing get her in.

luckylady · 11-07-2009, 07:35 AM

Oh yay! I'm glad to hear that things are starting to progress and hope the whelp continues on with no problems. From all you described in your previous posts (low temps, licking, walking/stopping).....it all sounded like early labor to me. Exactly what my Halle did when she started. When she started with the harder contracts or pushing, she would stretch her neck & look like she was howling, but no sound. The only sound she made was one yelp when the pups head came out.

Wishing you good luck for a safe whelp! I'll be watching.

blancla · 11-07-2009, 07:50 AM

I'm glad to see that it's going well so far. Please keep us informed.

If it were me I'd take her in.

starstella92 · 11-07-2009, 09:45 AM

Yeah I don't know. I'd be concerned now if I were you. I agree with Mary that a vet visit is your best option now.

I have a book that states that 2 sacs lying at the vulva with occasional contractions for two or three hours is still ok....But, I've run into trouble when that happened....so, based on my experience....get the female to the vet.

luckylady · 11-07-2009, 12:32 PM

Checking back and praying that all comes out well for mama & pups.
