This raises a couple questions for me.

First, we lost a puppy after a greenish black discharge that our vet said was okay. Mom's water broke and the discharge was actually the waste from the sack around the puppy. It is my understanding that the puppies produce waste and it just hangs around in the sack. But when the sack breaks the waste products can be discharged and the waste is greenish black goopey stuff. This means there is a puppy in there without a sack, although it is still hooked to mom with the cord. In our case, we could actually hear the puppy crying inside mom when the vet examined her. They said it was okay, but it wasn't. I'd be scared, scared, scared (:eek:) if I saw that again! Anyone else have this problem before?

Second, do your females have diahrrea before labor? Ruby has thin mustard-colored diahrrea this morning. Her diet hasn't changed, so I was just wondering if you have seen this as a prelude to labor or if I just have a mom with an upset tummy. :confused:

I'm going to do a corrected version of the puppy list to add what I forgot and to change what I got wrong. It is pretty interesting to see it all together. What a great thread this was. Thanks to Debbie for starting it. I hope those moms due in May, etc. will also start their thread. Its so fun to watch what is happening.

Cool. But I hope that my being over there doesn't give Ruby the idea that she can avoid having these puppies in April! Maybe I won't tell her.....:p

I'm sitting here laughing all by myself. We've gotten so crazy waiting for these puppies that I tried to tape Wizard's ears today -- and then Matt made a movie of it on YouTube. It's called "Wizard says, "Help me, Help me". Turn up your sound, I can't help but laugh.

My last two females ate right before whelping (within a couple of hours and a good meal) so just because she ate I would say that means nothing to me any more at least with my girls.
Is the due date from her first tie or her last tie?
We had mucous and loose stools 4 days before we had pups.
Jewels temp only went to 99.1 before she whelped also and her normal was 99-99.9 so that fooled me also.

Well, we have a little action this a.m. Ruby has been outside about 4 times in the last ten minutes, and she has a thick creamy gooey discharge. She is trying desperately to get out of her whelping pen and I know she wants to head for my closet! No way girl, back in the box.

Of course it would happen on a day when my daughter is out of town, my husband is in the City, and I have to take my granddaughter to school. Hmmm, what to do, what to do. Think we have to stay. Ruby is whining and whimpering and trying very hard to get out of her box.

More as things progress -- unless I'm just too busy. She had better not be teasing this time.
