Well Diva went to the vet today and they are seeing only 1 little puppy....I was kind of hoping for more than 1, at least 2
....I know some 1st timers have smaller litters but given her decent size of 6.5 - 7lbs, I thought maybe we'd have more than 1...so unless 1 is hiding up in her ribcage, we're going to expect to give 1 set of furry little paws to pamper & love...In some ways I guess it's good too being Diva's first time it gives her time to practice her maternal skills & if it should happen again with more, she'd be well prepared!
The vet also mentioned the only concern with having 1 pup is that there is alot of room for that 1 pup to grow a little bigger than it would with more pups taking up space...right now she said the pups head is already down, right above the pelvis in good positioning to come down the birth canal and so far it's head should fit through her pelvis with no problem...I'm hoping it doesn't grow too much bigger though..
They did mention her milk had already come in which I told them I noticed that 2 days ago...her temp was 100.4
Nonetheless, I can't wait to meet the little one.
