My vet says they can conceive 2-3 days after the tie, depending on when the eggs are present. If it was me, I'd take her in on Monday if nothing happens this weekend. That is assuming that she looks good and continues to act okay.

My first litter, we didn't even know our mom was in labor. She was just very normal acting. Then her water broke all over the kitchen floor during dinner. I didn't even know their water could break!

Keep an eye on her...and good luck from all of us.

so maybe there will be new puppies tomorrow?...here's hoping...

Is there any pup yet??:confused: :rolleyes:

OMG! I just read all the replies, hoping to hear at the end about the puppy, or puppies born, and still no babies. I can't wait to hear about them. It must be so exciting. Here's wishing you the best of luck with the delivery.
I'll have to check back to see how you and Candy are doing.

Dont know how I missed this thread , but just read it all also thinking.
Oh I hope her little maybe singleton is ok...and still no puppy ?
Hoping to hear soon too :)

Any news? Hope she is doing well

OMG waiting is killing me!!!!!!! Any news??????????/

:D Oh that is how I feel. The waiting is killing me too. I am just praying everything is alright with Candy and the baby(or babies) :xfingers:
Thinking you, and Candy. Darlene :animal-pa :animal-pa :animal-pa :animal-pa

Oh I hope everything is okay = (

Wow, I thought we would have heard by now. Hope everything is all right.

I am really getting worried now. The last time we heard from her, about Candy was Friday, 4/4! Am I right? Oh please God let everything be alright.

:cry: I am sorry to keep you all waiting and worried. Candy is doing fine but no puppy after all.

But, I am very confused and want to find you if any of you has this experience or heard about this...

Since she is overdue, still active, eat well, happy and have no sign of labor, so I took her back to the vet today... guess what...the vet took another xray and said "nothing is in her". He showed me the last Xray film, and pointed where the pup was. ( very honest, I can not really tell that is a pup, I can see a outline of something, he said is the pup).

Today's xray (new digital image), showed nothing. I asked why, and his replied were:

1. The pup was naturally aborted and she cleaned all herself. But I watched her so closed every day, she is in my room every day, I cleaned her bed everyday and I don't see any stained, blood or wetness at all.

2. The pup was dead and naturally absorbed into her body. He said it happens but not often. :confused:

But, I think there is 3rd possibility, the pup that he thought was not actually one...

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK ABOUT THIS.... MY VERY FIRST AND VERY STRANGE EXPERIENCE... I LEARN SO MUCH WITH THIS EXPERIENCE THO

I am kind of sad... :cry:, but at least, she is fine, nothing wrong with her, that is the most important part.

So sorry you went through that... but glad your baby is okay. I have heard of the absorbed thing with other animals... even humans... but I know it is very rare? My guess would be that... or the first xray really wasn't a puppy after all? Again, so sorry :(

:( I am sorry Candy had to go through all this. But I can tell you your Vet is right. It may be rare, but I had a dachshund that would have had 1 puppy. She was x-rayed and everything. When I noticed she was not getting much bigger, I had her checked again, and my Vet said the same thing. She either lost it, or it was absorbed in her system. I felt bad too, because I really wanted to keep her baby, but was so glad she was alright. After that I had her spayed. By the way, my dachshund's name is Candy. She will be 10years old this year.
Sending lots of hugs your way. Darlene
:ghug:

I know you were hoping for a puppy.
But you're right atleast Candy is fine.
I have heard they can absorb them.
But I really dont know much about it.
