I remember the date because the neighbor dog attacked me but I didn't think he mated with my dog because I thought I got to them in time but as time went on I noticed she was vetting a little bigger and her teats were a littke bigger as well. If my calcuation is correct she should be 53 days pregnant but I don't know if she got mated prior to that date or not cause the dog had dug his way over but if she is 53 days pregnant I know she'll be too early to deliver healthy puppies. On Thursday night I noticed she had a little clear discharge coming from her vulva. It was sticky and stringy. I've been taking her temp for the past 2 days and Thursday her temp averaged 101 degrees yesterday her temp averaged 100 degree and this morning I took her temp at 920am and it was 99.4 so at 1130am I went ahead and took it again and her temp was 100.5 so I am confused. Could this mean she's going to have them soon or does it mean she may keep them inside a little while longer? |
Get an Xray done now. mMake sure you have the whelping box "with rails| prepared.
Keep the temp of the whelping room at 80 degrees. Each bitch is different in terms of temp fluctuations.
Make sure you have all your whelping supplies on hand and a direct dial to an emergency vet for this whelp.
