Well, Grammy the thought of confining them before, however punishing, is that they will not seek to have their babes behind a couch when it is time. She's not going to stay with you and tell you when it's time, she'll try to seek a dark place and dig and dig. For her safetyness and those puppies, it would be best to confine her. Many of us have girls that have free reign of the house but before whelping we confine them.
But if you choose not to, just be prepared that you may not find her when the time comes. Look in closets, under beds, which are very hard for us to get under (but they love).
they have discharge at this point that is clear and like vaseline. Her temps are very average. Mine all do that down in the am up at night. |
