I really pray that she has a safe delivery. I believe you should shave all the way up to her last teat. I don't know if it's necessary to cut the side of her hair. Just make sure the babies don't get tangled up in her. How long is her hair now? Maybe you should give her a puppy cut. I heard that the first time breeders won't show as much as the experienced breeder. Even though she's 4 pounds, it's still too small to breed, but I say it's better than 3 pounds. I hope that was her original weight. I also heard that some will gain weight around the last weeks. Each individual dog is different. How is she eating? Again, I will pray for you. Good luck! Please, keep us posted when you get the x-rays.
