I was kinda going by her previous time also..... the breeder was concerned because she wouldn't stand for the stud when they thought she should so they did some testing and found that she was actually later than "normal" coming in (however that's worded) so I guess all that I've read doesn't really apply here. I don't know... confused a little. But, after all that, if she DID ovulate on the 12th (when she was AI'd), her 63rd day would be Thursday! Eek! I don't know why I try so hard to control this.... it's ultimately out of my control, right??  Better let my boss know my calculations may have been off a few days and to not be surprised if I call in tomorrow or Thursday.  Woo Hoo!!! Babies!! |
A female can whelp anytime from her 58th day of her first breeding to her 63 or a bit beyond of her last breeding. It's all dependent on when she ovulated as to when she concieved.
Temp taking varies from female to female....I have had females who never have a temp fluxuation prior to whelping and eat up to the last minute.
Bottom line what will be will be and a watched pot never boils. Just keep her quiet and calm.....she'll have them when she's ready.
