Nala had one of her litters several days early.
But I dont know how early is too early for sure.
I know thats more of a problem then if they go over a few days.

She sure is BIG!!! do you know how many is she expecting?
Lovely belly , give her a hug for me ....I love hugging my pregnant girls.
Can you feel a lot of movement?

Thanks for the info. That puts it at tomorrow (Saturday) through Monday.
I feel a little better now.

Cross your fingers she holds, and Ruby -- cross your legs honey.

I'm so proud of him, he's not giving up a bit. I think there's a good chance this little guy will be staying with mommy forever...

He is a cuttie and I'm so glad he is doing a lot better. I love his name .

Thanks for all the kind thoughts.

Yes, I have had one girl in the past at 57 days, without problems.

YUP, the little guys are moving around actively. And Ruby is still eating, but miserable. She just lays there and stares at me. Poor baby!

Yorkie Dreams to all of us!

You can get it almost at any pet shop or order online.It puts good bacteria in their tummy.GOod for stress,weaning and of course after birth.I wait till mine are all dry and nursing well ,then give it to them.

Short story here a friend of mine raises collies,she had 10 pups at one week of age she started loosing them one at a time.She Had one of the dead pups sent off to see what it died from they could not find anything. It sounded to me like it was bacteria in the stomach with her symptoms she gave me.(not nursing well then vomiting after eating crying,loose stools)
I gave her some benebac to give to the pups and momma and she did not loose any more.Her vet thought it was bacteria in the stomach also and suggested to her the next day to get some benebac after I gave her some. Dont know for sure if that is what it was but she lost no more pups after that.

today is day 55 for pebbles. shes not feeling good this morning. :-( shes got hicups, and just doesnt want to move. she wants to fall asleep but just cant seem to do it unless i rub her tummy. poor thing. her temperature is normal tough, and shes still eating and drinking fine. i think shes just sick of being pregnant already.

Thanks for the info on Benebac. I'll get some today.

I'm also going to make up some whelping pudding and some beef liver remedy this weekend. I am worried that she has so many puppies squeezed in there that they may have problems. Although for her size, you'd think they would be huge!

Ruby's temp is still 99.3, so no dip since our scare a few days ago. Hopefully not today!

Aww bless her heart...she does look miserable.

So is it just Nala, Pebbles and Ruby that we are waiting for this week? I thought we had one more....

What's up girls?? No new babies?

My tiny one is thriving now at 5 1/4 at 10 days. I'm telling you guys I am a true fan of nutri-drops now. Best stuff ever, I'm sure it saved her.

Be checking back to see all the new beautiful babies.
Best wishes for safe and smooth whelps.
