She just might have them under your bed. Have you tried encouraging her to stay in her whelping area?

yorkiemomma812 · 07-06-2009, 09:54 AM

I have moved her to the extra room in my house with nothing in it. I set her whelping bed up in there as well. I did get an appointment for a xray on Wednesday at 10:00 am, which was the earliest I could get since her normal vet is on vacation. I am hoping that she holds out for a least five more days or until I know that the puppies wont be premature. They are sitting low in her stomach and she keeps stretching.

Do u have an xpen so you can enclose her in that area? let's hope she keeps them in a little longer, but I think she is getting very close.

yorkiemomma812 · 07-06-2009, 02:22 PM

yes I have her in a pen. I just took her temp and it's back up to 99.4 is that a good sign? i want her to hold off at least until she get's her xray on Wednesday morning. I will keep everyone posted as I will be taking her temp in around three hours. Good news is that she is eating good. When does milk come in because she has no milk as off yet? Is that a good sign?

Yes, those are good signs (higher temp & an appetite), though all dogs are different. Mine had pups when her temp was 99-something. I'm glad to see that you have a place for her now.........keep her away from going under anything!
Because I am hoping for a litter in August, I was doing some reading today and I saw somewhere that it said taking the temp was one thing, but this person (or article) said that the female will just plain ol' feel cooler to the touch when she's ready to whelp. I'm guessing they are meaning bare skin, like her belly. Hmmmm, I wonder if that's true or if anyone here has ever noticed it before. I'll have to keep that in mind for myself if/when my time comes.

yorkiemomma812 · 07-07-2009, 04:49 AM

well this morning her temp was 98.0 but her belly was still very warm. However she did eat a huge breakfast this morning. She has been finally staying in her whelping box I guess because I had put in my ipod inside of a ipod pillow and she loves it. When i turned it off she statred barking so I guess it now belongs to her. Xray tomorrow morning.

Good morning yorkietalk family. Heav'ne had her xray today and it showed 3 puppies. The vet thinks that she may whelp between today and tomorrow as the puppies are lined up in the birth canal. The xray was amazing. They were lined up three head first in a row. Her milk came in today also. Her temp is back down to 98.1

Mom2TwoYorkies · 07-08-2009, 08:20 AM

A new puppy watch! Yay!

Hoping for a smooth and safe whelping!

yorkiemomma812 · 07-08-2009, 11:03 AM

temp back up to 98.3

yorkiemomma812 · 07-08-2009, 05:09 PM

does anyone know what can be going on with Heav'ne temp?
6:00 am 98.1
10:00 am 100.6
2:45 pm 98.3
4:45 pm 98.5
9:12 pm 99.0

I'm getting a little scared thinking she might be getting sick. She has a little nasal drip. She keeps licking hereself and licking her stomach is that normal. The pups are very active.

bjh · 07-08-2009, 05:26 PM

I think you are worrying too much.

We see this all the times with females the last week of pregnancy, lots of ups and downs. Like I said before, low blood sugar can make the temperature drop. I know this is driving you nuts. After you have done this for years you will learn that when it happens, it happens. Most of the time now I don't bother to take the temperature but maybe twice a day if even that much. It can drive you nuts trying to figure these females out. I know it makes it hard sleeping at night.

yorkiemomma812 · 07-08-2009, 05:31 PM

thanks I will try to get some much needed sleep tonight

Just make sure you keep one eye open in case she does decide to go tongiht.

Princessangela3 · 07-08-2009, 05:55 PM

Bella had a nasal drip the day she delievered also. We had a night time delivery also and I suggest you get as much sleep as you can. It certainly sounds like you are getting close! Good Luck.

Mom2TwoYorkies · 07-09-2009, 03:38 AM
