Here is my thinking so far. On the 27th we had xrays done...the xray showed ribs, spine and pelvis in bright white. When I did some research I found that ribs and pelvis show up around day 58. So if Friday was earliest day 58 then today has to be at least day 61.
These puppies have definitely gotten bigger since friday. My concern is will they still fit for her to have them. The vet said on friday that they should not change in bone size that much and we should not have problems. Any one else know if and how much they will grow over the last few days?? I am not worried about the fat they put on cause that will smush when delivered just the bones that don't move. She is a tiny little girl and that is the part that has me freaking out.
Just wish we could get this over. I have no nerves left. A strong drink would do me good about now but I am not a drinker. LOL Could not imagine what men had to go through back in those days. Guess that is why so many of them were at the bars when it came time for the birth.  |
My girl did not "dig" until minutes before birthing. She was laying between me and my DH watching TV when she tried to get up and then just fell on her side...we knew then. Desperately tried to get her in the whelping pen to no avail...she HAD to have them on his jeans he laid on the floor. We just made her very comfortable and I guess that is why they love him to death, she didn't give birth but HE did according to the smell, lol. If anything, keep vets number handy and please keep us updated as I am an "expectant father" too on your litter. Best of wishes and prayers.
