I, like you, will accept the "DAY" delivery. I'm going to check her temp again later to see if it has fallen lower than 98.8, like the last couple of times. I read on the temp taking and it says that anything below 98.4 and labor should start within 24 hours. If it doesn't, it says to call the vet. Of course there were a ton of other articles saying anything between 99.-98. I believe the one on the 98.4
I'm trying to be patient too, thinking the same as you, that they'll come when they're ready. It just needs to be NOW! LOL!
Stormy is very droopy and sad looking this morning. She's acting really weird. I'm sure she's beat too.
Oh, do you know how many puppies your girl is having?
I'll keep you updated! |
Well, I gave in and took her temp once again, for what it is worth. Believe it or not, it's back down to 98.2 ! I'm not sure if I should get excited again, or if I should stick with ... "
A watched pot never boils " theory. LOL
I do not know how many puppies to expect, as we gave up on taking x-rays after her third litter. They were always incorrect and seemed to cause more fear and anguish than actually helping. Of course I always take them in for their first pregnancy to make sure that there isn't a problem. She has consistently had four puppies with each of her pregnancies, so I am assuming that she will have the same. Although she really is pretty big this time, especially compared to Lily who is just ten days behind on the due date. Lily hardly looks like she is pregnant at all.
Penny is looking pretty bad this morning and she appears to be as tired as I am...
and she is digging quite a bit. She also refused her breakfast...which for Penny is huge. Ha!
I'm hoping, more for her sake than mine, that she has them soon.
How about Stormy? Do you know how many she is expecting?
