I haven't posted frequently in forever.....but, my 4 yr old momma is on litter #3. She is a great free whelper, no issues before, is 6.5lbs daddy is 3.5lbs....and is due NOW! My question of the evening is.....how long can a first stage go on? She has had watery mucousy discharge going on over 24 hours now, has had mild early contx but no straining except twice when she was out to go potty so thinking it was just pressure, had loose stools last night, just a bit and has been in and out of her box, (wants to have them on my oldests bed upstairs instead lol) sleeping mostly...off her food but drinking well...and does'nt appear to be in any real distress, no panting, excessive licking, digging....I've never had one go on this long in the "pre" early labor stage and frankly, the waiting is KILLING ME! I'm thinking we'll have puppies by morning but i said that last night haha.
Oh and we are expecting 4, possibly 5
TIA!
