Cozy went quick with her 2 litters once labor started. Her temp was down for a few days and then went back to normal during labor. Odd I know but that was just her. She never really nested. She has always been my shadow. She started to do doggie squats and begged to go out to go potty a lot about 15-30 min before the first puppy was born with her first litter. Her second litter she had the first puppy breech and showed no signs of labor. She had just eaten about 10 minutes before she gave birth. The first litter was in a cat bed and the second litter was in the kitchen on the floor. She chose her own place. After the pups where born she let me keep them in a basket but the basket had to go where I went otherwise she would try to follow me without the puppies.
My point being every dog is different and so will every whelping.
I would not leave her unattended though til after she has the puppies for the safety of her and the babies. |
