Signs of whelping??? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

chattiesmom · 11-03-2007, 07:49 AM

Hi Julietsmom -- first of all, congratulations on your impending new additions. I know you must be excited beyond words.

From my very limited experience, I would say that Juliet is either in early stages of labor or quickly progresing in that direction. I am a "mother hen" when it comes to any of my animals birthing -- at this point I would not "intrude" but I would not leave her until the pups safely arrive.

OMGosh!!!!!!! I want my puppies!!!!! sounds like she is in stage 1!! Coco isn't eating, and temp is 100.0, so she is not acting like she is ready. But today is 60, too. Did you read my post on taking her temp??? Try it, I'd be interested to see what it is. Call me on my cell phone if you want. I am on computer and it ties up phone line, no dsl, here!!! I'm SOOOOOOOO excited for you...

Call me....

I'm here with you...she is starting to hide under my daughter's bed...and when I call her out, she's panting, and her fur around her mouth is all wet from licking.

CocosMom · 11-03-2007, 03:22 PM

Hey, I'll be checking in all night, too. Coco is licking and licking also. Won't eat. Temp this morn was 100.0 now 99.7??? Hope we are getting close. Juliet may be first....we'll see. Lilli and Lucy are up there, too.....Coco may be last

I hope it is today or tomorrow!!!

Everyone keep everyone posted!!!

How exciting for you both.
Julietsmom- has she been trying to push?When she pushes you may only notic that it looks like she is stretching her neck. If she hasn't had them soon, I think I would maybe have your vet check her out. Shoot, just realized that they are probablly closed now. The licking is from her trying to have them. Have you had x-rays done so you know how many and if she is big enough to free-whelp? It sounds like it should be really soon

I have not noticed her trying to push at all. Juliet is basically laying down. I tore up part of a marshmallow for her and she ate it. I also gave her a treat and she ate it. That is the only thing she has eaten today as far as I know.

The licking just started this morning, and I really don't see a reason to be alarmed. She seems fine.

julietsmom · 11-03-2007, 03:53 PM

How do you know if she's contracting? Can you feel it tighten up?

KristiC · 11-03-2007, 04:05 PM

You can feel her stomach tighten up
