I am looking for some advice and guidance! This is my first whelp with my Arabella! She is 2 years old, prior to her pregnancy she was about 5.5pounds!

I have lots of local support, but truthfully no one near me who specifically has breed Yorkshire Terriers! My vet is amazing and on call for me 24/7! But I do live in the county with no "mentor" to help. My vet is only 10 mins from my house and will come here if need be!

So my question is as follows she tied 7 times with my male. Today would be day 64 of her pregnancy if I go based on the first tie! However, between her first tie and her second tie there was a three day gab! My vet believes that first tie didn't take and then she is technically 61 days today!

IVe taken the time of work to be with her, she's never alone! We did an extra but she is a wiggle worm and couldn't confirm the amount of puppies we know 3 for sure but we think up to 5! Based on the way the xray looked (we took 5 different shots and still couldn't get her to sit still on two separate days).

Her milk has been coming in everyday more and more, first day we the bottom two nipples, next day was the 4 nipples now 6 out of 8! Her tummy has been a little red.

I guess my question is at what point should I be concerned that she hasn't started whelping yet??

Thank you in advance!
