I noticed that your Tiffany is almost 13 lbs so do you think that she got bigger because she is a bigger dog.. I can't believe how huge Kallie's belly is. To me it seems like she is having 8 of them or more... Should I be able to count babies by feeling them myself or is that impossible? Do they ususally start showing signs long before labor or can some dogs act normal all day and eat and then suddenly that night go into labor?? |
When Lexie had her pups, she surprised the heck out of hubby and I.....and luckily waited til morning to have them. According to her tie dates with her stud, she still had a week to go. But one Sunday morning, Lexie woke us up (she was in bed with us as usual) with some whining; I figured she wanted to go outside. Did that, I offered her breakfast; she didn't eat, then as I was here on YT suspecting nothing (since we had a week left), she picked a corner in the basement and started scratching/nesting at the carpet & when I looked over at her she was sitting there shivering. Yikes! I thought, took her temp (for the 1st & only time), it was about 99, and about 1/2 hour later she had her first pup. WOW! But up until then, I noticed no change in her, but then I wasn't looking for them either as we thought she had a week to go. Something must have been mis-calculated or something because the pups ranged between 5-6 ounces & healthy.
