Gosh ..dont they understand puppies have been coming?!?!?!?

Yay! (Probably) 3 puppies! That is a nice sized litter for a 1st timer; not too many and not to few. At least now with the x-ray done you can relax a little bit at least having a better idea of how many to expect & their sizes. It is hard wondering constantly WHEN..........but hey, we're all here wondering with you, so you're not alone. Try to rest as much as you can in case she decides to whelp in the middle of the night as I hear most of them do. Though I was lucky my first time; she waited til morning.

He thought that the bones in the xray were still a little faint so it might be another week but it could be tonight. I HATE not knowing when they were sneakin around having sex behind my back!!! It makes it so stressful not knowing when to expect it.. The vet also said that she appeared to be very clingy to me and that probably meant that she was not going to want to have them unless I was right there with her..She wants to be touching me at all times...I wish you guys could see it.. I have to go pick up my oldest from school so when i get back I will post the xray photo and see if you can see anything... I personally cannot see a darn thing in it but he pointed them out to me.. Sorry I made all of you wait but she is been panting off and on and cleaning herself alot today.. But I'm not getting my hopes up... The vet tech at his office is already asking for one...She begged me to call them when they are born. Like I hadn't already planned on that!! LOL!!

Wonderful

. Now you see why I posted what I did on the number and size comment to expect from the vet

. I do hope you don't have one that is too tiny in there and that they are all a normal size that Mamma will be able to care for on her own. What they do for their pups is a true miracle

LazyDaisy · 04-30-2008, 04:30 PM

the xray tech told me that molly would have 5 maybe 6, then the vet said we would have 7....I was very confused when I got home...But the vet was right...all were above 3.5 oz. But molly is also a teapot sized yorkie

amanda350 · 04-30-2008, 06:15 PM

I have tried to post this xray but you cannot see anything at all.. I have tried to edit it and everything.. So far no pups... She is still being clingy and Stewie is feeling left out so I groomed him tonight and bathed him in this new shampoo that I got.. He is super soft and shiny.. He was looking great and so I decided to give him a little cheese... He got it stuck on the side of his face and stuck his tongue out as far as he could to get it and it got all wet and gooey in his hair. By the time I got to him, he was eating his hair.. Needless to say he looked a mess.... Anyways, Kallie just follows me everywhere. Her temp is still in the mid 98's but no other signs of labor.. I sure hope she goes soon.. The suspense is KILLING me!!!

katelin · 04-30-2008, 06:31 PM

we are on pins and needles right here with you. I hope you get some sleep tonight and that nothing happens until tomorrow.

Best wishes..

amanda350 · 04-30-2008, 06:40 PM

I'm so anxious now that I wouldn't mind staying up all night.. my husband would take off work to let me sleep tomorrow.. Besides, I actually function better on 3 hours of sleep... I am losing my mind right now from this anticipation.. Today at the pet store, I was getting some milk and the nice lady that owns it was showing me the milk. I said well what is the difference between this can of milk and that one.. She said well honey, this one is for cats and this is one is for dogs, that's why it has a picture of a cat and says for cats.. I felt like such an idiot!!! I told you I am losing my mind... Well I'm going to go cuddle with everyone so I will update you all tomorrow....Hope you all have a good night!!

Now THAT'S funny

mypreciouspups · 04-30-2008, 06:51 PM

I am still checking this thread also.. nothing yet..

I see you might have a tiny.. if you do.. make sure you watch and time how long the tiny is suckling.. I had one that would only suckle for a minute and then slept for 4 hours.. we had to tube feed her every two hours night and day for two weeks.. by then she was strong enough that she would go on her own.. the vet did not think she was going to live..
we still have her and she is going to be two in may.. but it was scary even though I had tube fed two babies many years before that..be prepared for this.. ask the questions now.. ask the vet to be prepared to teach you how.. with tube feeding it is very dangerous.. I worry.. but I always make sure they are whining when the tube goes in.. then I know it is in the right place.. if they are not struggling and whining.. the fear is that it went in the windpipe.. I would pull it out and begin again..nerve racking as it is.. I knew how much she was getting in her tummy..I also weighed her each time she was fed and kept the date and time..

that is a good idea to do anyway.. you always know then..there are many people to ask questions to.. I usually do not answer to many..for we all have our own ways of doing things..

good luck and keep us posted...anne

I have been watching this thread for the last few days... I'm getting really anxious! haha.

CaLi19GyRL · 05-01-2008, 01:20 AM

still waiting.....any word today???

cobird2 · 05-01-2008, 02:36 AM

Can't wait to hear the news...so much good advice here...hope you can remember everything...sounds like you're getting frazzled. Sending good thoughts your way...

amanda350 · 05-01-2008, 04:55 AM

Ok this temp thing is just starting to make me crazy... My vet insists that if her temp gets below 99 then she is ready... Well we have been below 99 for several days. Last night before bed it was 97.1 and first thing this morning it was 98.1... If I am not totally losing it, then that is below 99 right??? I hope she goes soon!!!! Like today!!!! Like NOW!!!! My 4 yr old son has a bicycle race at preschool today that I cannot miss. My neighbor will watch Kallie for me but I do not want to miss the birth either.. Oh this is pure TORTURE!!! I don't know how you ladies do it regularly... Hey another question... After the puppies get here, what do I do about sleeping arrangements.. Do I leave puppies in the xpen with mama all night or do I being them into the box in my room or do the puppies need to be sepereated from mama at night?? Kallie is used to sleeping in her crate at night so she doesn't roam free to pee in the house.. Still don't trust her and Stewie completely...

The puppies need to be with the momma continuously throughout the first few weeks. Do not separate them at night-they need to nurse every few hours. For the first few days and nights, I monitor the pups every hour or two to make sure they are all nursing good and being taken care of by the momma. My whelping box is in my living room, so I sleep on the couch for the first few nights.

Good luck with your delivery!
