Ok First timer question here - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Here's a little backround quickly

We were blessed enough to buy our own home this past September and it was actually only around the corner from the house we were living in at the time....Well I had Miney on her leash going for a walk and she saw a stray dog looks to be some sort of poodle around her size...the growl a bit and we keep walking...well the little "GUY" as I find out later runs up near us and Miney tries to chase him....SHE PULLS RIGHT OUT OF HER COLLAR....and yes she was in heat at the time. I go running in my slippers and loose them through a yard so I run in to get my shoes. I start looking around the house and yelling hoping she will come back and then I hear her crying a little in the back yard....OMG there they were..."stuck" That was October 5....I had never seen anything like this in person I was in shock..So needless to say my miney will be a momma soon she's on her 56th day from what I gather.

Well here is my question...sorry if it's silly to you all

Last night when I picked up my girl to carry her to bed I noticed a wet spot on my s**t....but I really just blew that off until this morning...

After Miney went outside she wanted to sit on my lap so I picked her up for a few to pet her....Well after I put her down I see ALOT of clear slimy discharge on my pants where she was sitting.....Does this mean that her time is Very near? OR is this just a normal thing. I wish that I could say I would call the vet to ask, but I really hate to call them unless I must... because we had a not so good experience there ...BUT I will call if need be...in the future no matter what.

I can't find the thermometer anywhere so I will be buying one while I am out this morning for sure.

I'm sorry if I am rambling....I havent really noticed any of the othe5 symptoms that I have been reading about...but in no way will I say I have retained everything I read recently

I was not around her for several hours yesterday to watch her and I have to leave the house for about 3 hours today.....I have no one to watch her OMG this is making more nervous than I ever thought it would...

Breny · 11-30-2006, 04:15 AM

yes, time may be getting near

My Zoey had the discharge a couple days before. Go buy a 'digital" thermoniter. When her temps drops down to around 98 and stays there 12 or more hours she's ready. Take her temp morning and night and recored it. Good luck!!!!

They can have some discharge a few days before delivering. My Autumn had a clear discharge for almost a week before she went into labor, but just like for women, it can be different for each dog. I liken it to when a woman loses her mucuos plug before giving birth.

Go get a thermometer while you are out and take her temp. I would be checking it everyday morning and evening from now on if I were you. Do you have a whelping box ready for her yet?

There are some really wonderful experienced breeders on here that I am sure will help you when they see your post.

Good luck with the new puppies!

Good luck with your new babies. My dogs have all had some sort of discharge a day or two before whelping. pay very close attention to the discharge. If it gets stinky , that isn't normal. Also just a tip: My little dogs slip their collars too. I never put them on mine unless we go to the vet because I have a huge fenced yard for them to walk in. But one day I took Silk to the vet with her little collar and leash on. i sat her down beside the car to walk into thee vet. the vet was outside and pointed to something behind me. there she sat, looking guilty as all get out and m five foot in front with the empty collar and leash in my hand. Good thing for me she didn't run into the traffic. Soooo, a harness will be much better for your little one. Some of the people here sell the cutest ones in their online stores.

Ha ha too funny! I missed it too and read it as "shirt".

MrsLee · 11-30-2006, 08:20 AM

Thanks Everyone

Ok that typo was halarious lol lol

I took her with me this morning I couldn't bear to leave her home alone....so we bought a thermometer on the way home...Temp is 100.2 as of now.not much more discharge since earlier...she's jut been sleeping and whimpering a little.

Yes whelping box is ready and she has been going to it off and on each day....I have almost everything put together on the list that I copied from a thread on here...and I have decided to see if I can just get her to have the pups in the dining room because it has doors and I can keep her down here to be watched and helped during the day.

Def getting a harness for my girl as soon as she starts getting back to her normal size.

Lacy's Mom · 11-30-2006, 08:48 AM

I've seen clear discharge for up to a week prior to delivery. The calendar and temperature are better measures. Actions like refusing to eat and diarrhea that morning, progressing to constant vulva licking and digging are all shown in mine at the very last stage.

Ok taking notes here...she hasn't eaten a bite so far today...Diarrhea started yesterday....No constant licking going on at the moment. I did just notice all the blankets in the whelping box are all bunched up right now...but she is back to sitting on the couch.

ehunney · 11-30-2006, 08:51 AM

How is she?

The due date predictor says December 6, 2006.

MrsLee · 11-30-2006, 08:54 AM

Just popped some popcorn...which she really loves but doesn't get that often and she looks Very interested ....She hasn't even wanted to sniff any other type of food today.

Only 2 pieces not interested anymore

The vet said maybe by the 5th...I had calculated the 7th so that's right along the line...This upcoming week it looks like. I wish I had the $$ to do the ultra sound or the xray...But with this being uplanned I need to keep those options reserved for emergancy. They told me $800 I had no idea that it was so costly.
