Labor like symptoms, but only 52 days!!!!

[Chloe and Joey]

I will tell him. The instructors at my Tae Kwon Do school are quite familiar with Chloe, so I am pretty sure that I will be able to leave if my fiance calls to say that something is up!

Please be sure to check back on me. Its nice to have someone there!

how is she doing now?

[Chloe and Joey]

She is doing pretty much the same. Just laying around staring at me....making sure I dont do anything crazy like leave the room for a second. I posted on "Mucus Plugs" the following temps:

9:30 am - 100.7
11:30 am - 99.3
3:00 pm - 100.2

Not much of a change, I guess.

Check out these new temps, they are starting to become predictable:
4:00 p.m. - 99.5
4:40 p.m. - 100.5
5:50 p.m. - 99.4

Chloe was eating earlier today, but doesnt really want to eat lately. She was digging and panting, only for a short period of time, a few hours ago.

She was X-rayed yesterday and is carrying 4 pups. In the past 2 hours, she has been panting nonstop (except when drinking water or being pet) and even started to "dig" in her bed. I took her temp and it is 99.9 - which is about normal for her. She is typically 99.3 - 99.5 in the morning and higher in the evenings. Earlier today she wanted to walk more than her usual. She also didnt eat all her chicken - which she usually eats fresh baked chicken in nearly one gobble.

Should I be concerned? What should I do? I am going to keep monitoring her.......just nervous.......

I had a female yorkie that had a litter of pups exactly 1 week before we expected them. I knew exactly which days she had tied so knew there was no question there. Her four pups were all born healthy and weighed 5 and 6 ounces so they were definitely not premies. Good luck to you.........I'll be waiting and watching.

[Chloe and Joey]

Thank you! Her temp, as of a few minutes ago, was 98.9 - the lowest I have seen i.

[Tnyorkiemom]

sounds like a good sign to me...well you first posted at like 11:30 pm last night so some time between now and tomorrow around midnight im thinking

[Chloe and Joey]

Okay, well I am just thinking that I wont get any sleep for awhile. I had dreams that her four puppies were born - and then about 15 more! It was crazy!

[Tnyorkiemom]

dont those silly kind of dreams drive you crazy...i hate to have them ...cause you know it is not gonna happen but you mind dreams it anyway.....lol

[Chloe and Joey]

I know!! It reminds me of my occasional college/law school dreams, when I have terrible dreams about having to take exams over and over again.

She is laying by my feet now. Hopefully we will go to bed by 12, so I will take her temp right before we do that.

[Tnyorkiemom]

well hopefully she will get up around 9am and start panting and pushing....oh well if we are gonna dream might as well dream big......lol...hopefully you can get some rest tonight....cause i really dont see you getting any sleep tomorrow night

[Chloe and Joey]

I know right? If she could start going into labor right after church, that would be great. I guess she wouldnt understand me if I told her that. . . Then, if she could just pop them all out, that would be greeeeeeat. Always good to dream.

[Tnyorkiemom]

dont worry about your fiance being there alone with her....like i said if he will log in to yorkietalk...there are lots of people here that can talk him through things....just make sure you have all your whelping supplies all in one place and if there is something that you think he will not be able to figure out how to use or do...then go ahead now and explain it to him....make sure you have a bulb syringe....very very important to suck all secretions out and something to cut the cords with and tie them off if the mom doesnt do it herself......scissors and unwaxed dental floss will do the trick...just tie it off twice and cut between....YT folks are great for helping

[Chloe and Joey]

Okay. I have all those things you mentioned. I just need to put the dental floss in the whelping area.
