Yorkie Yakker | whelping Hi my female is on her 63 day pregnancy . I have been to vet everything looks okay he did a x-ray and a ultrasound on day 56 to see how many pups size and etc. She is having 4 . This is her first litter and we are doing it for family thats it not selling. Okay my question is she is day 63 and her temps today were around 97.8 . She is very active still and is eating some not a lot . I haven't noticed any signs of contraction she is really restless moving from room to room and playing with her toys . She is also sleeping a lot too. She doesnt want to leave my side . She has been nesting a lot on my bed also I have done alot of research and everything and my vet has been with helping us if I have any questions. But I'm wondering if she is going to have them soon ?? If nothing happens by day 56 I plan on calling my vet again to to insure everything is okay. Thanks any adivce would be wonderful ! |

| Sounds like she's close. You might be in for a long night. Keep taking her temp and see if it stays down. My girl ate up to the time she whelped. Each dog is different but most don't eat 24 hours before. Good luck with the whelp!

| Forgot to add, my girl also was very active before she went into labor. But she nested right before she whelped. Keep a close eye on her

| Cozy went quick with her 2 litters once labor started. Her temp was down for a few days and then went back to normal during labor. Odd I know but that was just her. She never really nested. She has always been my shadow. She started to do doggie squats and begged to go out to go potty a lot about 15-30 min before the first puppy was born with her first litter. Her second litter she had the first puppy breech and showed no signs of labor. She had just eaten about 10 minutes before she gave birth. The first litter was in a cat bed and the second litter was in the kitchen on the floor. She chose her own place. After the pups where born she let me keep them in a basket but the basket had to go where I went otherwise she would try to follow me without the puppies. My point being every dog is different and so will every whelping. I would not leave her unattended though til after she has the puppies for the safety of her and the babies.

Yorkie Yakker | Thanks you guys making me feel a little at ease I'm not as worried she is in her kennel right next to my bed and their is a nightlight so I can peak in on here every little bit. I have a blanket covering it making it more like a den and have her kennel sit up as her whelping box. I'm afraid to let her wonder during the night because our male is lose and I don't want anything to happen if she was to gi e birth in a different room with me not around.I have not left the house in the last 3 days just incase she had the pups. I made sure we had all necessities so I wouldn't have to leave her side. Thanks u guys made me feel better |

| Glad your feeling better! I would def keep the female and male separated from here on out. My girl whelped april 8th and my male still hasn't seen her and won't for a while. I put her upstairs in a nice quiet room and him downstairs that way she has her privacy. But I was sleeping by her side for 2 weeks when she was getting close. You'll do fine. The worst part is waiting. Just like I said keep a good eye on her. Keep us updated!

Yorkie Yakker | I usually let them be together during the day and when I'm around . When I'm not in sight he is usually with me or in his cage. I am going to have to put him in downstairs until after she has pups and they go to their new family just to make sure he dont hurt them or momma hurts him. I wasnt quite sure on that, Thanks for Advice !! Yes I will keep u all updated. |

Yorkie Yakker | [COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]NO PUPPIES YET [/COLOR]I checked her throughout the night and she slept all night. I didn't hear no whining or yelping at all during the night This morning when we got up she was acting like she has been last couple of days . She grabs her toy and ran for my bed. She isn't really digging with her paws this morning but more rubbing with her back on everywhere like she itches. I took her temp and it was 96.7 could that be right ??? She hasn't ate this morning , I am keeping a very very close eye on her today !!! Could she have pups during the day ?? Thanks everyone for your concern . . |

| My puppies were always born during the early morning hours or before 12:am except for a couple of times...they can come at anytime, like you i never left the house and slept close to my little moms when they were in waiting I believe they are more calm knowing you are there with them...I hope she has an easy whelp

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | Sounds like you are getting close. And you are doing things right by keeping in contact with your vet. She will start looking for a place you will be able to tell if she is by your side. The first time Lexi had pups she moved all over the house. But loved my bed. So we made that possible. But when it really was time she had them in the place I made for her in the living room. Drove me crazy I was new to this and so was she. But everything went wonderfully. Good luck and keep us updated. Can not wait to see pictures
