Sorry for the misunderstand. I should of insisted on a tiny bit of it. when I mention to mix it with water. I am talking about a tea spoon of milk for a cup of water. This is a little trick I have learn in a female reproduction class when I was studying cynologie (the science of dog) a few years ago. So I am positive that it is safe. |
I have been watching this thread and noticed that there hasn't been a reply. Did she have the babies yet? If so, how many boys & girls and weights? |
still no pups yet. she stopped panting but she is still restless. she did drink a little water this morning. her bowels are loose and she still tries to get comfortable. her vet called and said that the 1st stage of labor can take up to 24 hours. I am out of my mind right now. I refuse to leave her side. I cant sleep. But i guess the saying a watched dog never whelps is maybe true. |

We're still waiting, right along with you. |
I know how you feel... I arrange to have an almost empty schedule for the whole week when one of my females is due for whelping. I use to cancel all my appointment last minute thinking today is the day! I usually THINK TODAY IS THE DAY starting about 2-3 days before due date.:rolleyes: But I always KNOW when it is time... Don't worry, you know too |
well her panting started yesterday evening and then it stopped. It started back up today around noon and she has been panting very very hard, shaking, and trembling. She keeps changing positions as if she cant seem to get comfortable. Yesterday her vet said she was in the first stage of labor. I though the first stage last 6-12 hours. |
some times it can last as long as 24 hours for the first stage |
This whelping is very concerning to me. Yesterday morning you said you walked her for three block and she came back exhausted. That could be very dangerous for the puppies. Yesterday afternoon you said you took her to the vets and the vet told you it would be a day or two. Then at 3 a.m. you posted the vet called and said she may be in 1st stage labor. Do you know anyone that could possible look at your female that has some experience and can help you? It is so difficult for us to give advice when we don't know what is happening. What have you been feeding her? Does she have any kind of discharge? I am just very concerned about this little momma. If you feel you need more help then you can pm me your number and I would be glad to talk to you. |

I agree it sounds long and strange not the normal whelp |
thoughts and prayers for your baby. |
I'm just going by what the vet told me. I have since called him back and he said that if she dosen't whelp by tonight I need to bring her in tomorrow morning. I can hear the heartbeats and the puppies are very active. Today is day 62. She ate a little yogurt and kibble. I'm kinda scared also because the vet had me thinking that she should have whelped already. Could I be confusing panting with her just being tired. Panting is when they breath really hard with their tongue habging out of their mouth right? She has been doing that since noon today. She also did it yesterday evening but it stopped. She's not acting sick and her temp is 98.0. |
98.0 sounds like puppies in the next 12-24 hours...how long has it been that low? |
Wow you two are really going through a lot right now. Wish I could help but I have no idea what whelping is like. You guys are in my thoughts. |
Hope everything is ok. Keeping my fingers crossed... |
