I think Delilah was bred on April 12 so I think June 13 is the due date but she doesn't seem to be interested in making a bed or checking any of the places we have fixed for her so now I am wondering if I have the date wrong. She has gained weight and you can feel 2 liitle round balls just below her ribs. She has had morning sickness (I couldn't believe this) and her nipples are enlarged and she has milk. Any guesses to how far along she could be?
Any advice will be appreciated.  |
I hope that she has been seen by the vet - those questions should be asked of your vet. On this site you will find stickies that speak to what you need to do and prepare for a
safe whelping.
It is disconcerting when a post such as this comes along, with no indication of your having sought vet care and advice,or sought advice from your mentor.
While many of our experienced breeders here are very helpful, they cannot and will not substitute for an experienced vet's advice. It would be best to first address your whelping questions to your mentor and or vet, and go over what you will need and expect to experience as labour begins, and progresses.
I hope for a safe whelp for Delihah, and healthy puppies.
