| It is pretty common for them to lick themselves when they are pregnant. They will have a thick clear discharge and many mommas like to keep themselves clean. I have had some mommas that would get so fat they could not reach their vulva and I would have to make sure they were kept clean. I usually trim the hair short in that area. If you are not feeling much movement then she might have up to another week to go. Since she was bred over such a long span it will be harder to know when she will have them but if you know what day she came in heat, I would count 11 days from then and I would bet she would have them around then. To take her temperature you need to just catch her, place her in your lap and with one arm wrapped around her just lift her tail and insert the thermometer. Be sure to hold her firmly. I like using the digital thermometers because they are wider on one end. Also, I put a little ky-jel on the tip. Best of luck with the whelping. |
