Is tonight the the night???

I don't know if you saw my post in your other thread.... you are CLOSE to me. I am just up the road in Ridgecrest! I am trying to figure out where in Lancaster you would be 45 minutes from an ER vet?? ( I figured Lancaster from your zipcode) If you need any help just send me a PM. I am on and off all day. Is your vet willing to do a "scheduled" c-section? My vet wouldn't do it and even though we were pretty sure Sunshine would need a c-section with her second litter, I had to wait until she went into labor. She did end up having to have to have a section, but we still had plenty of time to get her to the vet. She had been panting for about 7 hours and was not pushing at all.

I am not in Lancaster actually, I am located in Cal. City. In my post above I mentioned I have a sceduled c-section on Monday if she does not delivery by then. What vet do you use? Auburn animal hospital in Bakersfield does scheduled c-sections. The vet is wonderful and she is a Bull Terrier breeder so she knows a lot about breeding which is one of the main reasons I like to use her. Hope this clears things up for you!

I just checked her hoo hoo and its a lot more swollen and puffy, so I am thinking she is still getting ready for the big event.

Well heck. Cal City is just down the road from me too.. about the same distance. Do you know where Ridgecrest is? It is just north of Cal City. Anyway. The vet I use is Crestwood Animal Hospital in Ridgecrest. Dr. Decker there is pretty good also Dr. Emmy Sund is good. I don't caRE FOR THE MALE VET THERE.

Sounds like she is ready. I would be willing to bet that she has them before Monday. Have you had x-rays yet? so you know how many she is having?

PS.. we will have to get together sometime after the puppies are bigger.

I would love to meet up sometime! I have heard of Ridgecrest but never have been. My hubby and I were just talking we would like to take a drive up there sometime and see whats out there.

I hope she is ready and goes soon, I really wanted to avoid the c-section because of all the complications and risks possibilities. She has had x-rays on her 57th day and all looked good and the vet said the pups dont look too big to deliver, but that was over a week ago.

Thank you! Ok here is the update. Last night she did more nesting than usual, even MORE clingy to me and her temp was 98.2 last night. I have been taking her temp for almost two weeks and at night her temp is usually the highest. I had her next my bed last night and she nested several times last night waking me up, her temp this morning is 97.7! SO, maybe tonight?? lol Geesh I hate getting my hopes up!

[tjdmom]

oh I hope so! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! Can't wait myself so you really must be on pins and needles!

[TikiBabiesMom]

I hope tonight is the night! Your in my prayer for a safe happy whelp. Dont wanna see her go thru a c-section. GL and keep us posted. BTW I've been following both threads 97.7 has been her lowest temp yet right. Ohhh i hope she has the babies tonight.

[DejaVu]

Thanks all, I am glad I am not in this myself! She is nesting big time today, sounds like shes digging to china I told her. Not in the panting mode yet, but I think she is very close!

[Sunnie]

She does sound like she is very close. I will be watching your thread.

[yoyo27]

Oh I am so thrilled, I really think the time is here and tonight she will go for sure I think, maybe even sooner. Right now shes pacing around the house and she doesnt lay in her bed for more than a 5 minutes before shes up and pacing again. She looks like shes on a mission to go somewhere.
