Nature is great. Usually and I say usually, during the last week or so, mom's slow down a bit in their eating......mother nature's way of controlling the size. I know people get concerned about the growth (and you can have a larger one), especially if it's just one.....but, I've seen a litter of one weigh under 3 oz. There's no way your vet will perform a C-section now, with the possibility existing that they still maybe on the preemie side......
We've given you the danger signs and what to watch for should distress come into play....don't hestitate (and I know you won't) to contact your vet, or take her in, if you're unsure. |
I think if monday comes around and she still hasn't had them then I will take her in even if by all apearances she seems fine.
If I can get someone to watch her for half and hour then I will go buy a thermometer for her and see how the next couple of days go. I am aware about the gums going cold if she is in shock so I am checking them often. So far they are warm as hot puddin'.
I won't be hesitating to phone anyone, lol.
I am checking on the cycle date that you asked for in the previous post....i think it's day 11 or 12 but I am going to check.
She wasn't eating her dry food for most of her pregnancy. I got high quality puppy wet and mixed it with her dry daily. I would say I gave her a few tablespoons three times a day of that mix. If I gave her a different meal then it would have been some rice and chicken. I hope I didnt over feed her.
