I've always gotten this part a bit confused. Four weeks equals 28 days so 8 weeks equals 56 days . Since dogs give birth anywhere from 60-64 days. Then isnt it true that dogs are pregnant about :
63 days = 9 weeks
Lola is 35 days pregnant (5 weeks) so she has approx 28 days left.
I know people can be off by 2-5 days on their calculations thats why sometimes we think the dog gave birth too early or too late.
I will be very careful and take her temp for 1 week before her "due date"
Does anyone know if those ear thermometers work the same on dogs?
I saw an ear thermometer at Walmart ,very affordable at $14! It only takes 1-2 seconds to get a temperature reading. I rather do that ,instead of holding a rectal thermometer in her butt for 1 minute every day for a week lol.
I will ask this question in the breeder forum...
