Help! Did I calculate wrong? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Oh my gosh I am so happy I found this site! My Sweet Pea is due today and she does not even remotely seem ready. She ate a hearty lunch, is lounging on her back seemingly without a care in the world. Her temperature is back and forth between 99.4 and 98.1. I had her xrayed last Friday and she only has one puppy and at the time vet said not too big. Did I calculate wrong? 63 days, right?

You calculated right....what could have happened was that she didn't get pregnant with the first "tie". So... it's either real soon... or any day now!

Hoping for a smooth delivery.

Praying for a safe delivery.

Hoping you have a safe and easy delivery...

She got down to 98.1? Wow sounds like she's real close... Is this her first litter? Good luck with the delivery..

I use an ear thermometer, and just read the directions that say there is a degree difference from a rectal thermometer. So I think when the ear says 98.1 the rectal one says 99.1.
This is so not the time to be confused! This is actually her 4th litter. The first was before I had her, and she had 3 puppies naturally the 2nd time, and 2 the 3rd time, one delivered naturally that died and I raced her to the vet and they did c-section for 2nd baby and that one lived. That was a year ago in August. She is 6 years old. Should I even try to let her have this one naturally since there is only one?

I don't know if I would chance letting her have it natural if she's already had a c-section. I don't know the rules on that. If there are any... Does the vet seem to think that she'll do fine???

With 1 puppy and having had a c-section last time, I would surely watch her closely for any signs of hard labor. Be prepared to have to take her in if this 1 pup grows too big for her to have nautrally.
