Davie never got near the size that Lexie got when she was pregnant. Poor Lexie could not move for the last week of her pregnancy with 7 and we had to carry her outside or to the food dish. Good luck with your female. My experience is that if your female is pregnant, she will have a small litter if her tummy is not big by this time. |
Wow! Lexi must have got pretty big carrying 7 little pups. She was lucky to have such a caring Mom like you to help her through it. I bet that it was exciting having that many puppies. Did you have an X-Ray towards the end of the pregnancy to see how many Lexi was carrying and to determine the size of them?
