She looks like a football with a little head and short legs.
Ruby didn't show any signs of being in heat (no swelling, male interest, etc) until February 11. The first tie (I'm pretty sure) was 2/14. So she can't be any further along.
I'm really keeping an eye on her.... moderately concerned. She is going to get her tummy shaved tomorrow and I will try to post pix of her tummy. Of course if there are any other symptoms I'll be at the vets in a blink.
Any other suggestions?? |
Uh oh, that sure doesn't sound good...but that temp is normal. She may just have a lot in there. I didn't think Brooke would make it past 57 days, but she didn't have them until day 65. She did the same thing when you touched her belly. Just keep a close eye on her...but I would wonder too with symptoms like that. That's pretty early for a tie if she just came into heat the 11th. I wonder if she was in earlier (just keeping herself clean) and you missed their first tie. Is that at all possible? Is this her first litter?
