| Trini Progress... Day 61...wow! Last night her stomach was kinda hard and lumpy few times. It felt like the puppies were moving around. This morning I took her temerature and it was 98.3 (digital therm) and 98.0 (regular therm). Oh my goodness, I am so nervous for her. She is just walking to get to where she wants and then she plops down and rests until she wants to move spots again. lol I will keep you all updated and will post pics of the pups!! OK gotta go!

| Hope you're not planning cooking Thanksgiving dinner for a crowd because I think you will be taking care of puppies instead! Best wishes for a healthy delivery. How big is Mom, Dad and do you know how many puppies you are expecting? |

| Hmmm... Trini (mom) was exactly at 4 lbs. at her last vet visit in Sept & Coco (dad) is 3.15 lbs. steady. The thing is she is showing no other signs except for occasional hardness of her stomach, which I am assuming are beginning contractions but there is no pattern or consistency and drop in body temp. Trini has gained 1 lb and she is now 5.04 lbs. The vet said he saw 4 on the x-ray and there might be 1 more hiding...who knows I took her last Thursday. I am gonna take her temp again right now and report back, lol...

| You posted earlier her temp was 98 - that is a drop in body temperature - normal is 101 to 102.5. The hardening of the stomach is probably contractions so I wouldn't be leaving her alone at all at this point. I am glad she is having at least four that hopefully means they will be small and she will be able to deliver them without a C-section. The smallest female I have ever bred was 4 3/4 pound pre-pregnancy weight (but there have been natural healthy deliveries under that weight) - make sure you have the numbers and addresses of emergency clinics written down and easily accessible. |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Did the vet say (by looking at the xray) that she should deliver ok? (pups sizes) They can usually tell by the xray if the pups look large. I'll be watching and waiting! Good luck to you!!!!! |

| Yes, it's normal. Allie's last litter she had diarrhea about 9:00 that morning - I even gave her butt a bath! She went into labor at 2:00 that afternoon. Is she panting and digging in the bedding, yet? |

| Nothing yet...lol Well, her temp has been down to 97.7 on both of my term's since yesterday afternoon and she is breathing out heavier (not too heavy). I am sure she is having some kind of contractions now and again, kinda often, but again with no pattern or consistency to them. She has found herself a small spot in a blanket right by our bed that she is comfortable in and she is spending alot of her time there. I have stopped moving her to her whelping box for now, until I see anything more serious. She is just laying around. One funny thing she is doing is just licking at the air. For like a full minute she will just lick and then stop, lol. It is sooo cute. And she also gets up and walks to different spots to lay out for a while but no digging, well, a little when she gets to the blanket but nothing serious, lol... The vet said everything looked okay and she should be fine on her own just to keep out an eye for distress or in case anything goes wrong but he believed she would do it on her own. I read that the temp for a dog should go down to 98.0, does anyone think I should be worried at 97.7? (<<<<is that a silly question ) or what is the temp that I should be worried about if she gets too low? Thank you all...I'll be here watching and waiting

| kandy had really loose stools for two days before her labor and her temp went down to 98. then back up to 99.4. the day she had her puppies she ate a huge breakfast at 8;30. I left her in her x-pen because i could tell she didn't want out. i walked thru the house about 10. and glanced in at her and we had aa big ball hanging out. No signs of any distress before that. the first just popped right out. the second was an even bigger ball and i saw all four paws. Hubby had to help on that one. That is the one i resuscitated. Out of the five, three were feet first but that one huge guy is the only one she had any problem with. Good luck!!!!!!!! |
