Allie puppies/April puppies

[katelin]

Here is the April Puppies thread again. For some reason I couldn't find it a few minutes ago...

Glad to hear that Nala is holding on. Ruby is too. But sooo uncomfortable.

RIP little guy...
I'm glad your other one is doing well tho.
He will be your special puppy

Well they have gained well I thought 1pd 6 ounces was good for my little lady and she has 10 days to go,only a couple in there though.
WHen Josey had 6 pups she gained 3 pounds I belive.

I think 4 lbs. is a lot! And so does Ruby. This line of dogs tends to have large puppies, and they settle out in weight pretty early too, usually by around 6-7 months. Looking at our standards vs. our little yorkies, I think the standards have a heavier bone structure too.

But there is no way around it -- Ruby is HUGE.

[Miley's mom]

oh no, mine has gained a little less than 3 pounds but I think she will hit the 3 by the time she is do, I was talking about your Ruby asking if it was right that she gain 4 pounds. And I think 3 pounds is a lot still, mine is big I wonder how Ruby looks by now.
her Pre pregnancy was 7 pounds 2 0z and now she is 9 pounds 12 oz.
My other female kitty was 5 pounds and put up a little less of 2 pounds and she had 5 babies.
Here some current belly pics.

Wow, your mom is really big. She looks like she has put on more than 3 lbs. I'll try to update the Ruby Belly pictures soon. Her head/chest area are really small, I think she has a small rib cage. But, then her body just balloons out and today her perineal area (under her tail) started to bulge. Not the bulge just before a puppy is born, but a nice sized bulge. The only way she can lay is flat on her stomach on the cool kitchen floor. Poor Baby.

Do you have any swelling of the nipple area yet? Ruby is pretty flat there so far, which gives me hope she won't go early. Anyone else have any estimates as to how long before a birth after the nipple area swells?

Lilly has gained 2lbs... she was a smidge over 5lbs and now she is a smidge over 7lbs. She is expecting 3-5 puppies. The vet wouldn't confirm because they were too wiggly

But, to me she looks like a house! I felt really bad for her today because we got about 3 inches of snow... and her belly was dragging in it So I shoveled a space for her to do her business

I think they're all different...Allie had no brest swelling...and Nala is baggy all ready.Same with the vulva. Allie wasnt swollen , nor any discahrge , to see
And Nala is swollen as can be and a good bit of discharge

[Miley's mom]

I know , she really looks big. her bottom nipples are getting big as well.
I'm just hoping for at least 5 - 6 days more.

When is Lilly due? I wished we had some snow down here...we are toasting
