It is possible for a female to be injured during mating, but not common. Did you hold them still and comfort her while they were waiting for the tie to loosen? I can't say I have had one scream, but whine, yes, even after a previous delivery. It's hard to know without being there and knowing the dog, but you might want to have her examined by a vet just to make sure everything is alright to be on the safe side.
I have a human doctor grade stethoscope, but I can't hear any heartbeats until the last week to 10 days.
You are right breeding takes place approximately 10 - 14 days after the first sign of blood and the color changes from red to a straw color. Sometimes the blood isn't visible though and you must barely insert a Q-tip to check. |
