Phoebe is expecting a litter on July 4th
 

Hi All

Been away a while and have on been on since Phoebe six-pack last year. She is due on July 4, her milk is in. She had her puppies on day 60 last time, so keeping my fingers crossed that she can go closer to day 63.

Congratulations! My Lily is due any second. Does anyone know how many are expecting litters now?

Lola's Xray from today!
 

I took Lola today to get her Xray ,she's 51 Days today. The Xray was more clear in person! Sorry for the poor quality. Well the vet said that she saw 2 for sure but could not make out another puppy so I guess I will have to wait to be suprised! They quoted me the WRONG price for the Xrays :( I was told $60 for a dog her size.Well when I get there I ask again just to confirm. They told me $129! That's a big difference. Because they do 2 xrays ... Well I asked to take one Xray flat onher back so we can see if her pelvis is big enough for a natural whelp and see how many puppies in there. They went ahead and still took 2 Xrays but charged me $87 for it.
I wanted a copy but that was another $20! So I just asked if I could take a picture with my digital camera. the pictures arent great but I could also only make out 2 puppies. She's gained 2 lbs and I thought it was 8 oz of weight gain for each puppy! I uploaded them and put arrows. The puppy on the right side of the picture ,it's head is facing down to her pelvis. The puppy on the left side (it's head is up in her ribs but you can only see the spine sticking out. I thought for sure I heard two heart beats on the left and one on the right.And those 2 heartbeats was not Lola's and the puppies because there is big difference in how fast the heartbeats are lol...

How Is Lola?
 

Well we were due on June 28th and still waiting. Zoie's temp has been 99. for 2 days and thought she was getting ready and now last night it went back up to 100.8. So now guess we will have babies in Jly. Maybe she is wanting to have a firecracker birth. Oh well guess time will tell. So any one have any ideas about this temp thing. I can't understand the up and down of this. She sure is sleeping alot. I figure she is trying to store up for the long night she has.

So what day is Zoie on...67? When you take the temp,do you take it at the same time everyday?She may have ovulated a few days after she was bred?
Lola is on day 52 since her tie and she's showing all the signs of being due in 7-10 days. Her waist looks slim now and her belly has dropped very low. Her milk glands are swollen all the way across to the top.She's been having the darker discharge,she has vomited and has diarrhea for two days. Not too bad because she only poops like once a day but its soooo runny! I gave her a few drops of pepto lastnight.She's also much more clingy.Her vulva is swelling also.I am getting excited and I can't wait for the whelp night.However I want her to make it as close to full term as possible.
Istill say there are 3 puppies in there! The Xray looks overexposed and nothing is visible in the center.You can only see the 1st Puppy's spine and no head appears since it's so high in the ribcage.

Lily's temperature seems to go up and down too. Her temp is usually lower first thing in the morning though. This morning I took her temp. and it was 99.4*. She is throwing up yellow bile. Poor baby. And she is licking a lot more now too. She was due on Monday and today is Wed. I believe she ovulated after the first tie. She tied every day for 6 days. Her first tie was April 27th. I was supposed to go in to work this morning, but I called in to cancel. I think today may be the day??!:rolleyes:

Her milk is in at Day 52?
 

Is too early? I started a thread in Breeder section.The whelp book I have says usually 3-4 days before the whelp. Also on canine calendar it shows around 3-4 days before the whelp.It's been 52 days since her tie. If she's further along than that then it's ok of course! But if she's only 52 days :eek:


This morning I shaved Lola's belly and vulva area including her butt since she had diarrhea. I washed her belly and vulva with a moist washcloth .I noticed a drop of thick milk on her nipple and wiped and put a little pressure to check if this was indeed her milk coming in and a big thick amount came out! So I finished cleaning her up . I know there is no specific day that their milk comes in but I've read in so many links that milk comes in like 3 days before the whelp... She's on my bed resting now . I did take her temp at 10 am this morning and its 99.3
I don't,don't ,don't want her to have them early!!! Thank God I am home all day with the ocassional errands that I do. I won't be going out,I'll be rushing on the street to get back home lol.

Zoie is yes at 67. And yes I take the temp every morning and night. She is tired and sleeps most of the day and is really clingy. She isn't that big but I have felt the movement. Not sure how many she will have.

Sounds like we have others that are doing the same way, up and down. We don't have vomiting or diarrhea. But guess we will see when she is ready.

Nice xray very clear I can count 3 maybe 4

Can see leg bones etc

Sorry I've been so crazy and haven't been here guys. How is everyone? I had a litter born last week, 1 girl and 1 boy. They are doing well, fat and precious.

I have one more due in August too...busy busy busy.

Congrats on all the new babies!! Sorry I haven't been here to see them sooner!

Question?
 

I'm curious to know where you are all placing your whelping boxes. I have no idea where to place mine. I have a 3 yr old daughter who pretty much roams the whole house. I also live in Las vegas the weather here is very hot (107) so the A/C is running all day. I don't know if she should be away from the A/C when the pups arrive or if she needs a dark room. But then again I panic she might need me and I won't see or hear her. Any advice please:confused:

I took Lily in the backyard this morning to go potty and she very quickly slipped through a hole that goes under our deck! I think that she wants to have her pups there! I called her and she came out. From now on a watchful eye is not enough. I need to keep her on a leash when I take her potty back there! That would be just awful if she decided not to come out and have her litter where I couldn't get to her!:eek: I took the day off of work today because I thought for sure that she would have her pups. Not yet!

How exciting! My girl is due the 7th. Supposed to deliver 2 maybe 3. Vet said he saw 2 clearly and possibly 1 more. She is sleeping all the time and won't eat unless I dribble chicken broth on the puppy food. Her first and mine. OOOOH boy!!! Good luck to all getting close.

I know I'm a little late in the thread; but waiting for confirmation that my Toshi was expecting. She is approx. 5 weeks and starting to 'fill out' a little bit.... This is the girl that we didn't get a good tie w.but looks like we might have done enuf!!! I think she is due the end of the month, approx 30th. Good luck to all of you w.babies coming. I can't keep my hands off newborn yorkins!!!

That is exactly what we look like!!!! We are due anywhere from the 10th to the 14th. We were out of town during breeding, we had my sisiter babysit the dogs and "watch" for their ties...we all know how that went obviously:( Anyhow...so I am just watching her and letting her sleep by the bed! I will take some pics and post them

I wish I knew of another sure way to confirm how many puppies Lola's having! Unless I took her in for another Xray but my vet charges $129 for 2 Xrays,one on her side and one laying flat on her back. I still say that I heard 3 heartbeats plus Lola's heartbeat that is easy to tell apart.Because it's much slower.

Cookie had her x-ray and the vet only saw one baby on there, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for a extra puppy in there! Even the vet said by looking at her belly she hardly looks pregnant, but feeling her belly you would think she had maybe 2. I am really hoping for 2! I may keep 1 if she has 2 girls not sure yet!!! :D

She was acting kinda funny last night, I thought she was getting ready to go into labor! I went in my room and made sure her bed was fixed and had a heating pad in it, and to make sure I had all of my supplies near by in case she needed any help. Well I waited until after 1:00 am and I feel asleep, but I set my alarm to wake me up every 35 minutes so I could check on her. But still no baby yet! I could really feel it turning flips in her tummy last night so I think that may have been why she was acting weird, this is her first litter and I don't think she knew why her belly had something doing flips in it!:)

WOW $129 my vet only charges $30 apeice for the x-rays!! I am really excited now, it is soo close to time!

Doo Doo just had 6 pups. They all look good she's cleaning them like crazy I'll check back in a few

The vet I use hasn't got a machine in the branch here...and I don't want to drive where he is mainly!:( The other vets require you have all sorts of new patient crap...and I am not doing that, since I don't use them. He said he can for sure feel one...I can feel one move...so that is what I am looking for... one little baby! Oh well...we just wanted her to have one pregnancy before we have her spayed. Everyone should get the chance to be a mommy at least once!:p

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!:thumbup:

Congradulations that was a nice litter. What did you have females?Males? how many and what do they weigh?

I still don't know the sex of them. They look so comfy trying to nurse with mom. I don't want to bother them or her. She did all the work by herself. It's amazing. I didn't think she was due for another few weeks, so I wasn't ready. But there she was in her create with all her pups just cleaning them. What do I do now. Do I buy her some puppy food for her? I don't know what's next. OH I did however cover her crate with a big towle only cause it's a wire crate. She's in my room so I want her to have a little private time. I'll put some picture in her albume it's the only way I know how. Please check there.

Congat's!!! I am going to go look at the pictures now!!! :)


Aww...they are so adorable. She didn't look like she was expecting six puppies from the belly pic's. They are so cute! They look solid black are they full yorkishire terriers? Good luck with those little ones!!

No they are mixed with cocker spaniel. Not my choice if you read my other threads you'll find the whole story. Anyway she's doing great, she's still cleaning them and they are all moving and crying. That's a good thing right? I'm on my way to petsmart. What do I need to pick up besides puppy food for her? When I get home I'll check how many boys and girls.

congrats on the 6 puppies! It was nice talking to you today and hearing that exciting story! Hope you were able to find all the ingredients for the post whelp pudding. I am deffinately NOT going to be going out until Lola gives birth! lol
She's just relaxing most of the day on my bed ,she hates being in the bathroom even though she can see me! She just wants me to be in the same room with her.Here she is with some new pink bows that my hubby bought for her today :)

Genie,Lola,Cookie & Angel

Oh yes it is good if they are crying and squirming around, the crying is good for their lungs! :) Oh and congrat's you will have your hands full in the coming weeks with 6 little babies!!!
