day 65 and no whelp...please help One of my females is on day 65 and still no signs of labor. Do you think she miscarried or what. I felt her belly and I don't feel any babies but when I took her to the vet to do an ultrasound...it said that she was having 2 for sure. So any info would help. This is not her first litter. |
Call the vet and make an appointment, he's the only one that can help you! |
Jow many times did they tie? did you count from the first tie? Maybe she was not ovulating at that time. Does she look pregnant? Are her nipples prominent? Is he vulva swollen? |
When did you have the ultrasound done? Is it day 65 from the first tie....second....???? Maybe check with your vet again if it's been awhile since the ultrasound, maybe do an xray??? Not sure how long after 63 days is too long, but I think you're still okay. Might want to check with your vet tomorrow if it will ease your mind though. |
How many times did they tie? did you count from the first tie? Maybe she was not ovulating at that time. Does she look pregnant? Are her nipples prominent? Is he vulva swollen? They tied 4-5 different times. When I went to the vet, he told me that they tied on the last tie. The ultrasound was very obvious that she had two babies. He even gave me a picture of it. She doesn't look, feel, or anything pregnant though. Her nipples aren't even swollen. Her vulva isn't swollen either. Has anyone had a dog that miscarried? |
In my opinion there is no need to panic and call thwe vwet if she is not showing signs of distress. If she was not ovulating at the time of the first tie then the count would be off. Just keep an eye on her and if no puppies then no puppies. If she is healthy and happy I wouldn't worry. If she's pregnant they will come, no one stays prgnant forever. If she appears to be in pain or listless or otherwise not feeling well then that might be reason for concern. Also is she still eating. Mine tend to not eat, vomit and have diarrhea just before whelping,. |

I did the ultrasound on day 33 of her pregnancy. He measured the babies and everything. I do have some of those ear things that doctors use to listen to a human heart beat. Do you think if I put that on her belly that I might be able to hear them? |
how many days since the last tie? she may not have conceived until the last time. I don't know anything about the ultrasounds. Not sure how obvious it is. |

They might have just died and were absorbed. |
Has anyone ever had a dog miscarry? I really don't feel any puppies in there and I saw them with my own eyes on the ultrasound. I know that she was pregnant |

I have not had a miscarriage, I don't know what happens if they do, if you would know it or not, but perhaps they just died and her body absorbed them. |
Sometimes for whatever reason the puppies may not have made it and the bitches body reabsorbs the fetuses. I found this out in february. My female went into heat in late december early january was bred, tied and showed obvious signs of pregnancy. Palpitation was done and confirmed it but when it came time for xrays there were no puppies. The vet told me that sometimes the mothers body reabsorbs a puppy or the entire litter if there are any complications. She also said it is better that this happens early on because then the female has a better chance of bouncing back. It's harder when she goes full term and delivers dead puppies. There tends to be alot of emotional scarring for the female. |

Sounding so rude and blunt is not why I joined this forum..I am shocked.. I generally pass up on these.. I just lost two babies.. and I am glad I did not get this remark... I would be upset for sure... lets us try to be kinder to others.. anne |
I would take her to the vet I would just take her to the vet and find out. I know fear is a factor seeing her pregnant and then not seeing her pregnant however it is in her best interest to take her to the vet to find out if she has reabsorbed them during the gestation period. I have seen pregnant dams pregnant one day and look different the next however the owners bring them right in. They might of reasorbed them or they go home and the owners have brought them back because they pass the green masses and then sometimes they pass a fossil looking puppy. They can get very depressed so far along they need expert care. Please take her to the vet for your peace of mind and hers..... Be Blessed |

i think it is possible that her body re=absorbed the babies. That happens sometimes when late in pregnancy the belly goes down and everything looks like the dog is not even pregnant. There is nothing that can be done about it. |

Perhaps some people think that they could be panicking over nothing. Why waste the money at the vet if its a common thing that is no cause for concern? I mean, every question on this board could be answered with "call the vet", but people are looking for someone with a similar experience or some understanding. I would not want to spend the money at the vet if it was not nessesary. |

Over the years I have had females that I was sure were pregnant because they were showing all the signs and then slowly they start looking less pregnant and no puppies. After doing some research I have found that it is pretty common for females to absorb their puppies. This is being conformed more since vets have started do ultrasounds more on pregnant dogs. There have been cases for example where the ultrasound would show 7 pups and only 5 would be born, so 2 were absorbed. So a bitch could lose all her pups or just some of them. Usually absorption can take place the 28th to 35th day of the pregnancy. When this happens the bitches body breaks down the embryos and absorbs the material. There are a number of things that can cause this, it could due to a hormonal failure to maintain the pregnancy, stress, injury, over crowding in the womb, genetic conditions or lack of proper diet. This is why when you breed your female it is important, especially after the 28th day of pregnancy (or sooner) to keep them from getting too stressed and try to keep them from jumping too much. |
if this was my dog, i would get my vets opinion just to be on the safe side. i know reabsorbtion of pups can be common, but im the kind of person who would rather be safe than sorry. good luck with things!:D |

No "Call your Vet" is NOT the only advise anyone should give the OP for we are here to learn and help each other to share our experiences and if you don't breed or have never lost any puppies due to a miscarriage then how can you say someone else wouldn't know what advise to give who has lost a puppy or litter due to a miscarriage. Us Breeders who are EXPERIENCED would tell her to go to the VET if we felt she needed to...We're not as others think we sometimes are giving bad advice or just playing games with Yorkies, Whelping and litter of Puppies and there has been many of times when Experienced Breeder has told people here to take their Yorkies to the Vet. "I am so tired of people coming here needing immediate advice when they know they should ask the vet but either don't want to take the dog in or don't want to spend the money" If your so tired of having people come on and ask us Experienced Breeders advice then don't read the threads or post to them. It's that simple. We're ALL suppose to be here to Help, Care, Respect and Enjoy each other not down each other or post RUDE comments. Please help us keep YT a Nice and Friendly place not full of Hatefullness. I hope I've not hurt or offended anyone over my post. I just want us to all "TRY" to be happy and get along. :) Lee |
