I really don't think she could be farther along though. I noticed her bleeding on March 4. She has always kept herself super clean though...but that is when I noticed it. I wanted Fancy and Woody to mate so I kept them together from the first time I noticed her bleeding, so try and insure that they did their job. I kept them in their pen at night together (I know now that it was a mistake because injuries can occur if you are not their with them). So the first take that I notived them tie was March 16. (12 days after noticing first bleeding) So I don't think she could be farther along unless they tied in their pen when I did not see them and it would have had to be at night because I am home 24/7 except to run outside or to the grocery store but other than that I am always here and they were not showing interest in eachother before March 16. But she is showing all the signs of whelping pretty soon. I did take her temp. this afternoon and it was 100.0, I will check it before I go to bed. Her behavior is definately starting to change. I just don't want her to into preterm labor...I don't know how often that happens in dogs. They are really kicking!!! You can see them just moving everywhere! Her vulva also looks bigger than it has been. I don't know girls..How many of you have had their dog deliver 1-1 1/2 weeks early? Thanks!!!! |
Niki, that is why it is recommended to never keep the male and female together unsupervised, you never know when they might breed. There are two females on here now that the owners never saw them breed but they are pregnant. It is most likely your boy bred her when you were not looking. Dogs will breed as long as 21 days after they came in heat. If she had puppies 1 week early they would not make it. How much movement are you feeling from the puppies. It is urgent that she eats. Give her some nutri-cal. It is possible she is having an eclampsia attack. When pregnant moms do not get enough to eat and the puppies are growing and draining the calcium from the momma and then it could cause eclampsia. Without seeing your female I really don't know if she has a problem or not. Take her temperature again, if it is eclampia she would start running a fever. If you think she is in trouble then please take her to the vets.
