SOrry for the questions.How long is he willing to wait?
Nicki does he think maybe a pup has passed away and started the infection

As far as he could tell all the puppies are still alive...he could feel them all moving...he said maybe a fingernail???

He doesn't really know. Yes she's on antibiotics, she had to have a shot when I first got her in because her temp was so high. I was scared I would lose her. The only discharge she had was losing her mucus plug...no green, so I know she hasn't miscarried. I asked about spaying...he said if she has to have a c-section it's something to think about...but he doesn't feel like it will be a recurring theme...just a fluke. I don't know much about it...except what I've read.

He's going to re-check her on Monday, that's all he said...I'm not sure how long he's planning on waiting. What he really wants is for her to go into hard labor first, which I suppose eventually HAS to happen...but I just hope it's not too late for the puppies.

OH...yep...just like my Lola. I don't have a clue in the world if she's pregnant or not. She has milk but it could be false. She's on day 57 today I think. I may get her an xray, but I just spent a fortune at the vet on Hadley...so I think I'll hold off because I really doubt she has any babies. I can't hear any heartbeats.

Well I hope and pray the little sweetie goes all by herself and has no problems. Best of luck with this NIcki

I'm trying to be positive though...I just hope I don't have another litter like Mikayla's...

Just wanted to let you know I am so sorry to here about your problems. I sure hope there will not be any problems through out the weekend. My prayers are with you and your mamma.

Nikki, you really do have your hands full right now. I'm so sorry to hear about the infection and am really hoping all will turn out well for you, mom and babies.

Do they ever induce puppies the way they do people?

i was wondering the same thing?

EmrldShdwQueen · 05-02-2008, 11:20 AM

Thanks guys...the only way to induce puppies is to administer oxytocin...but it can be quite dangerous, especially if they're in the process of delivering. I THINK that's the only way to induce...but I could be wrong...

katelin · 05-02-2008, 12:28 PM

So we wait and hope for the best.

Nicki, I am so sorry for the trouble she is having!!! I will be sending a special prayer for her, babies, and you!

My D'Lynn is due May 12th.

I'm due May 20th with a human baby. It could get interesting...

Should we place bets on who goes first?

I hope you have a backup plan in case you both go into labor at the same time. My first baby was two weeks early and my second one was 8 weeks early. We will be praying for both of you.

bjh · 05-02-2008, 01:49 PM

Nicki, I will be praying for you and your babies. I know you are worried but it is encouraging that the babies are moving and seem fine.
