Have you gone out and read whelping books yet?? I would not wait and just for your vet and your mentor to tell you what to do? There are some great books out there. Be sure some of the books you get are breed specific. You need to be prepared, because what if your vet is out of town or has his own emergency. They do have another life. I know since my vet one had to go out of town to help his sisiter with her dog when I needed him. And your mentor too, might not be there, especially if it is late or early morning. And that seems to be the most popular time for these bitches to whelp. Do you have all your whelping tools/supplies ready? Do you know what to do if there is a problem? Do you know what problems they can have? Do you have things ready for the pups? There is a lot to do in the next few months and it quickly gets here. Before you know it, she will be having pups.
