she is in the whelping box and rearranges the towels and blanket. i havent seen contractions recently but then again i keep going in and out of the room because im getting the children ready for bed. she did not eat or drink anything except her treat when i took her out.. but not any of her food. I just gave her a tiny bit of vanilla ice cream she seems like she is thirsty and refuses to take water. She look scared and no panting..I justed looked at her vulva and there is a clear mucus discharge(small amount) is that her plug? Will she start to go into heavy labor soon? temp has been steady around 98 or so since 8am this morning with the initial drop at 3am. I cant go to sleep and have been up the past 2 nights every hour or so. I hope its soon and im so worried for her. How long should i wait till i call vet? or what can i do? do i give her tums for calcium now or after first pup? or not at all? |
