Who is due with July puppies ?
 

I've been waiting to see if there is a new thread for July Puppies. So I decided to ask : Who is due in July ???

I'm still in denial about Lola.I find out for sure the end of this month,getting an xray She deffinately looks it ,acts it,and has been having all the symptoms.

Here is her pic:

Due : July 13


Genie,Cookie,Lola & Angel

My female Cookie is due the first week in July!!! :cheer:

This is Cookie: http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...cture006-1.jpg

This is the male she was bred to: http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...s/dickens1.jpg

Boy, she sure looks pregnant! Good luck with the xrays.

And Dickens is a real doll, I'll bet you will have beautiful puppies.

Best wishes.

Today she had a clear discharge ,looked like a booger ? LoL
Anyway ,Ive been reading and researching like crazy and I read that is another sure sign that she is pregnant. I asked a Breeder/friend and she told me deffinately. This happens at 4-5 weeks and Lola will be 5 weeks on Sunday.

Hi Genie,

As you know, Chloe should be due around July 8th. I think I told you - but she had a clear discharge last Friday (which was day 31 for her). I bet that you see her belly getting bigger within the next few days!

I am glad to hear that slowly, but surely, you are coming out of denial ;)

Is it possible to be and not show at 5 weeks? I know of 3 ties but she is not showing at all.

I think a breeder would be the best person to answer this. They say around 33 - 35 days the dog starts to "show" a bit. I could see Chloes tummy enlarge around day 31. I believe, though, that it depends on the dog and thd 33-35 days is only an estimate.

Do you have any pictures of your dog at 5 weeks? Sometimes they dont show until 7 weeks if they are only carrying 1-2 pups. Some carry in the ribcage also so you might not see a bulge o her belly but the ribcage seems wider .Are her nipples bigger? Has her personality changed at all in these 5 weeks? I am doubting myself everyday and waiting for me is the WORST! lol
I wish I would hae measured mine 5 weeks ago and now. Last time I measured her chest 12" to make her a dress ,but that was like 6 months ago! and now it's 13" .
I have to wait 2 more weeks so they can do an X-ray on her to confirm and give me a headcount on the puppies.

Mia due July 8th
 

My Mia is due on July 8th. She is very round right now. I just cant wait until the puppy's start to mobe around. Good luck with your little girl.:D

Ok I'm getting camera happy...Here's pics of today ( Day 33) almost 5 weeks
I put a short tank top on her that was a 2 pc with a denim skirt well I bought this for her 3 months ago and it was too loose on her. I had to overwrap the velcro on the skirt and now the velcro barely touches so I guess she needs Maternity clothes lol.
The third pic is of her in a homemade whelpbox.I didnt spend money ,I had the hamper in the garage and I cut the front out of it ,since it has holes on the sides , I can fit the heating pad cord through the bottom. I have another hamper that I will put in front of this one so I can put food,water and pee pad.My kids were laughing at me. My hubby asked if I planned to do stickers that say It'sa boy! or It'sa girl! lol

Looks for sure like she's pregnant!!! Five weeks would be a little more than half-way thru wouldn't it? They don't usually start getting larger until the last few weeks. It might be too late for the vet to do a "feel" of her abdomen and give you a count. After the first few weeks they go up under the rib cage (at least that's what the vet says) and then you can't tell except by xray or waiting until they're born. Congratulations and best of luck!

Here are some belly pictures I took tonight. She still has about 3 weeks left.:)

khyorkies , what's your girl's name? What a cute lil belly she has!
I emailed my dog's belly pictures to my friend and she told me " She doesnt have a belly at all?" Umm her velcro clothes do NOT fit her at all and her ribcage has grown like 1.25" inches more ! lol I guess she hasnt seen many pregnant dogs.

not knowing is very tough...torture...my girl is definitely heavier.. when do they pop... is it 7 weeks? thats only 2 weeks before due date.. :confused::animal36

Chloe's tummy is getting larger by the day. For the most part, she wont jump up on furniture anymore. She tends to look at us and wait to be picked up - which I am completely happy about. She used to run right over to me when I walked in the door. Now it is hysterical - she runs halfway, then dips down and lays on her back waiting for my to pet her belly. Too cute! She looks a lot like the pics posted by "khyorkies." I noted that her yorkie was due the first week in July. Chloe is due July 8th, so I guess it looks like she is on track.

Baby Bear is due July 1st, this is her second litter.

Were getting close and I'm so excited!!!

Her name is Cookie!! In the pictures you posted your little girl looks prego to me!! Your little girl very cute!!:D

i just cant tell if she is pregnant... if she is, then june 26th...
:aimeeyork

I've always gotten this part a bit confused. Four weeks equals 28 days so 8 weeks equals 56 days . Since dogs give birth anywhere from 60-64 days. Then isnt it true that dogs are pregnant about :


63 days = 9 weeks

Lola is 35 days pregnant (5 weeks) so she has approx 28 days left.
I know people can be off by 2-5 days on their calculations thats why sometimes we think the dog gave birth too early or too late.
I will be very careful and take her temp for 1 week before her "due date"

Does anyone know if those ear thermometers work the same on dogs?
I saw an ear thermometer at Walmart ,very affordable at $14! It only takes 1-2 seconds to get a temperature reading. I rather do that ,instead of holding a rectal thermometer in her butt for 1 minute every day for a week lol.
I will ask this question in the breeder forum...



Genie

Cesar if you are not sure then I seriously think you should make an appt for an X-ray by June 19h.That is 1 week before she is due.
Have you noticed her any bigger in the ribcage?Nipples swollen a bit?
I called a vet for a Xray price and it wasn't as expensive as I thought $5

I dont think you want to be surprised with a whelping and have no supplies at all with you. Ive had a few nightmares that I wake up and find Lola's already given birth and the puppies are freezing cold on our tile floor :( I havent gone out and bought any hemostats ,puppyformula and other stuff yet. I got the syringe bulb to suck the fluids out of the pups nose and mouth. I already had the heating pad,lots of new towels and washcloths and I did order a highly recommended book by Myra Servant
Canine Reproduction and Whelping.It should arrive this week and I am goign to read it cover to cover as soon as I get it! lol

this will be my third time with welping... if i only knew yes or no...
she is going to the vet tomorrow.. i will ask her to palpate.. i have my supplies from november for whelping.. but, if she is preg then i have only 2 weeks... this happened last time i think.. i just could not tell until all of a sudden... but this is her first litter, so i dont know about her yet,.. i would really like to know... the suspense is killing me.. do they carry low in the abdomen? is it normal to not show before 7 weeks? sadie is normally 7 lbs.. i guess i will find out tomorrow.. thanks:)

Jade is due in July she seems to have only female. we will see.

I have two that are due in the middle of July!

I made the X-ray appt today. So she will get the X-ray June 27th which would make her 47 days pregnant.

I swear some vets/assistants dont know a whole lot on canine pregnancies.
One assistant told me it was too early to Palpate the abdomen! Every breeder I've talked to and almost 40+ website Whelping links that Ive read ( ALL say the same thing!) You can only palpate from 28-30 days. After that it makes it very difficult because of the fluid that starts building up in the abdomen.

She had a clear discharge Thursday ,at that time she was 4 1/2 weeks.It was a small amount . Like the size of a Pea,just hanging off her Vulva like a booger lol.

She's had many symptoms: Larger nipples,throwing up at 3-4 weeks,ribcage is wider by about 1.25" ! She's deffinately gain about 8-10 ounces. My main reason for denial is that her belly is very hard.I usuallysee like actual breasts with bigger nipples. She has a solid round belly. Iknow I am just crazy at this point ,overanalyszing everything! lol

So in 11 days I'll finally have the answer. I will see if they give me a copy of the Xray. If she is....I will scan it and resize it and post it here. I haven't seen anyone post Xrays here. I hope they give me a copy!


Genie

Sorry I meant the Xray was not as expensive ,it's $55 not $5 ! lol

sadie went to the vet.. but did not see her today.. had to resched... but her weight has increased by 5 ounces.. and i still dont know... i dont know aboout getting xrays done yet... i will just get ready in case... anyone else on tummy watch...
IF SHE IS DUE BETWEEN JUNE 26 AND JULY 4TH
i think she would start being obvious.. all this stress of not knowing:)


and when do they :confused: POP ? :)

if she is having only one puppy...does she look big yet?..or did you gat an xray to confirm.. ? i am afraid of getting xrays.. my vet does ultrasounds..:aimeeyork

Chloe is due around July 8th. She "popped" around day 33 or so - at least thats when her belly was more prominant. I noticed that her belly was bigger a few days after noticing clear discharge (just like Genie (Cookie2) was talking about).

My vet only does ultrasounds too. I am taking her to a different vet that does them. My cousin just finished her pediatric small animal training at UPenn and her professor highly recommends the Xrays to determine the skull size, the number, and the positioning of the pups. I have heard that day 55 - 57 is appropriate for X-rays.

thanks for the POP DATE... day 33 is about 5 weeks:)
