Is this 64 days from her last breeding?

If it's her last, it appears that she concieved on her last breeding. She could have ovulated and concieved 24 to 48 hours after she was bred.

Contact your vet and let him know she is and he'll advise you. Recommend when to do a C-Section if she hasn't begun labor on her own.

I had one girl that delivered on day 64.....

Oh dear. I hate those first litters on a female......you don't know what their welping cycle is like.......pins and needles.

I'd worry if you weren't scared.......Good Luck

I hope everything goes well for you. I was looking to see if there were any new updates.

Boy do I know how you feel! I am in waiting mode too!

Good Luck and all the best for you and your "mom"

Oh how exciting. I love the rush when they go into labor. It's even better than when I had my own babies. LOL

Ok i really need advice now. i called the vet and one told me to bring her in this afternoon for a c-section. I really don't know about that b/c for one it is just her 64th day and second he hasn't even looked at her before telling me that. That really made me uncomfortble. So i called another vet and he said to wait till aleast her 65th day and then bring her in and let them look at her. But he also told me if i had any concern or questions to call them asap. Help please i need advice from breeders what would you do????????

If it was my girl I would wait I just had a litter at 66 days after the last breeding.
If you are concerned take her in for a check but they will eventually go into labor when their body and the pups are ready.

An automatic section for 64 days and he has not even seen her
That would be a no for me and I would go with the other vet.

If she is distressed, fever , or just not herself then take her in otherwise I would wait.

I would definately take her in for a check-up.....but, a C-section without examining her, listening for heart beats.....mmmmmmmmmmmm I don't think so. I think the magic # is day 67.....but, that is an average and every bitch is different. An exam is needed here. Like I said earlier I've had a girl go on the 64th day....where her usual delivery day was her 63rd, so I knew that she always concieved on her 2nd breeding. Since then I've had the vet check them for ovulation to breed.....just a bit less stressful that way.

If you aren't already at the vets office, since it's Friday with the weekend almost here, I would get her checked to make sure she's pregnant. I remember thinking one was pregnant and could have sworn she had at least one maybe two...just to find out she was constipated. Better safe than sorry. Mardelin is right. 67 days is the magic number. It's 58 days from ovulation or as long as 67 days from breeding. This really is one of the most nerve wracking parts of breeding. Especially with a first time bitch.

[JENMORR6]

thanks for the advice if she hasn't had them by in the morning we are going to go in and get checked but her temp is 98.6 right now and she is staying in her box so i reallt think she will have them tonight. i can feel them moving. So i think this is a good sign. i'm praying really hard that she will do fine.

I hope that you are off line because you are having puppies. Please let us know something as soon as possible.
