| I called the vet. with a question-help Sadie at 60 days has not had water in 24hrs.or longer. Today nothing to eat, very little yesterday. I had atleast 7 small spots of diarrhea throughout my home (dark) no blood. Temp is 98.8 she is not moving at all. My questions was: Should I be concerned about the diarrhea? Should I be concerned about temp? Should I bring her in? The answer: She will probably have the puppies this weekend, do you want the number to the emergency animal hospital.................? Now where do I go with that. None of my questions answered. I am scared!!! Am I over reacting? |

| My husband is bring Nutri-cal this evening. I tried chicken and ice. She wasn't having any of that. She is waring me out. She has a bed, a whelping area and yet she trying to get under my bed. Just when I think I have it all blocked off she moves something and I find her under the bed. I now have it block so I think. We have been doing this all morning. Why is she doing this? My name is Deb also. Mother of Sadie |

| Hi Deb, nice to meet ya . . . I've been trying to educate myself by reading these forums along with searching the web in an obessive manner . . .LOL For one day, I'd also like to breed my two . . . Here is something I found . . .maybe your Sadie is closer than you think . . Dog Labor Symptoms After two months that your dog are carrying puppies in her body. It is now almost time to let her puppies out to see the world but before that happen you might want her to play with small stuffed animals toy first to build guarding and nurture sense. Here are the signs of dog labor symptoms Rectal Temperature Drop Normal temperature is about 101 fahrenheit or 38 celsius. If the measured temperature drop down below 97 fahrenheit or 36 celsius that mean your dog is about to give birth to puppies usually less than 24 hour. If your dog doesn't shown any signs of labor after 1 day from the temperature drop then you should contact your local veterinarian to check for the problems and do more accurate measurement by using dog thermometer. Reject food Most pregnant female will refuse to eat anything before they go into labor period. This is early sign that your dog will have labor symptoms soon. Finding a den This is a nature behaviour of most female dog. She will try to find a den or a hiding place that she feel safe and comfortable to give birth to her puppies such as under your bed, bathroom etc. During pregnancy period she can be more aggressive to other peoples too. Sickness and vomiting This is a normal symptoms for pregnant dogs she will begin to vomit to empty her stomach and this is usually happen few day before she go into labor and also make sure that you have fresh water available for her all the times. Wanting to be near you all the time She will follow you everywhere you go even sleep under your bed when you are sleeping so don't be surprise by this behaviour when this happen. You Should call veterinarian if your dog have the following symptoms Strong contraction for about an hour or more with no puppy out and you know that there are still more puppies inside her body. About 3-4 hour pass and there are still more pups inside your dog body. Fail to have labor after 1 day pass from the period of temperature drop. Gestation for more than 70 days and no sign of labor symptoms.

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | I've only had one litter myself so far so not tons of experience here, but she sounds very close to whelping. I think some diarrhea is normal prior to whelping. Some nutri-cal is surely in order and I would also try to get some fluids in her even if just a tiny bit. Keep her out from underneath the bed; she is going there looking for a safe haven to have her pups. The temp is low meaning whelping time is close, anywhere from now to 24 hours from now; I'd guess sometime today. Try to keep her in her whelping box, stay with her talking to her to keep her calm. Are you over reacting?.....not for a first time(?) yorkie mom, but you need to calm down and relax yourself. Sadie can pick up on your feelings and get more nervous herself (maybe that's part of why she's hiding), and can deter her in whelping. Though the vets office didn't offer much help, or what you wanted/needed to hear (some reassurance?), but I'd guess their little info meant that Sadie is doing nothing abnormal and that if she does whelp after business hours, you certainly should have the e-vets phone number on hand IN CASE it is needed. Most likely all will go well, so try not to worry so much. There are many here to support you and help any way they can. Hang in there, sounds like it won't be long now. Do you know how many pups thre are?

I think as long as he's breathing and warm, he'll be fine until mom is done. That's exactly what happened with ours 13 days ago. I'll be praying for you and your babies. | |
