Hold a treat and let her nipple it away with the attempt to take the rabbit from her. She will soon associate food with you handling her "baby" and hopefully she will focus more on the food or treat than the rabbit, thus making it possible for you to handle the puppies when its time. It is so funny you metion the stairs. I built Raeley a set of stairs as she couldn't get up on the bed any more either. I trained her to use them, but its like she would rather have me pick her up. She hardly will leave my side now. If I am at the desk (like now) she will sit under it instead of on my bed (her favorite place to nap).
I forgot to ask you why your taking your girl in this Friday for her x-rays. It will be day 45. They may get some idea, but the pups bones would show up better on an x-ray if you did it between Oct 5th-9th. JMHO. My girl goes in on the 7th, day 58. |
Thanks I will try the tip. I got my stairs at Kirklands for $20 and I love them! She knows how to use the stairs but sometimes refuses to, she will do the same and make me pick her up sometimes and follows me everywhere as well.
The Vet said 45 days in you can see the spines through xrays she may actually be 47-49 days at the times of xrays. Her time with her husband was from Aug 5th through Aug 9th and they stuck a few times but very quickly in front of husbands human momma so they may have stuck more when she wasn't around. The Dr said she wanted to add a couple of more days because for instance say they mated on the 8th her egg and his sperm may not of come in contact with each other until the 10th. So she gave an estimate date of conception as Aug 12th and estimated her due date as Oct 12-14th. My husband on the other hand thinks she may be a little further along then that and we may be having pups sooner like around the 10th!
The Dr said she would know more when she does the xray Friday but believes all their spines should show...if they don't then I don't believe she will charge me. They don't do sono's at my Vet, only two vets in town do it and both of them are the city's emergency 24 hr Vet so she doesn't recommend me spending the money unless it's necessary because they do charge more for their services then she does and we get a discount at our Vet as well.
As much as I would like them to be on my bday being a human momma too I can imagine she wants them out already so the sooner the better.
She went to the groomers today so her belly is cleaned up and shaved and as soon as I get a chance I will take more pics!
Here are a couple of recent pics of daddy to be on his 2nd birthday!!! The pics of Carly in the black top is her at his party, and the pics of them together is during the time they were mating...don't they look exhausted! hahaha
