I'm Having an AUGUST LITTER..............Are You? - Page 24 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

RoxieHart · 08-18-2009, 09:40 PM

Still haven't gotten a temp because Roxie is peeing non-stop! Is this a sign of impending labor?? I've let her outside at least 10 times in the past 20 minutes and she squats to pee 5-10 times each time. I doubt she's actually peeing every time, but maybe she feels pressure and thinks she needs to empty her bladder? I've laid a pee pad by my front door now because she's beat me to the door a couple times and left a couple drops on the tile.. now she is digging at an old blanket.

I'm going to drive myself crazy all night long now... hopefully once I take her temperature my mind will be put at ease (or else it will REALLY bring on the worry, ha! We'll see!)

RoxieHart · 08-18-2009, 10:12 PM

98.65!!!

(Help on accuracy though- how far in does it need to be? The thermometer is pretty small and it tapers down to a point, so I could only get it in so far before it got too big to go in any further. It went in about 2 inches. She's also a really small girl- 5.1 lbs pre-pregnancy. Do you think this temp is correct then?)

She's started walking really funny before I took the temp. Like a weird waddle, and walking on the tips of her back feet.

I'm going to be freaking out all night long, so I'd welcome any company. Lol.

She's shivering like mad but nothing else is going on.. she's laying on me now.

I hope she is okay and has delivered her pup. The spot of blood makes me think she was starting labor or has a uti. We will be anxiously waiting for an update.

Good luck to the rest of the August litters, I pray you will all have safe whelps. I hope you don't mind if I stay on this thread and await the remaining puppies.. ?

Of course you can. I am taking Sammie to the vet on Monday for x-rays and will share everything with you guys on here.

Again, I'm sorry for the loss of your little boy.

Tomorow is the 63rd day from the first tie. Avery is still doing about everything normal. Still taking temps they havebeen staying in the 100.4 range. I also had a tie on thursday and then another on Saturday. I heard two heart beats my first time but I believe that they were seperate because they were about two inches apart from each other. Then I heard another I think on the other side. Time will tell. If anyone has a good way to hear the heart beats or information on it let me know.

Good luck to you and Avery. It won't be much longer now. I'll be watching for your announcement.

Wow, It happened so fast...
She gave birth to five beautiful babies with in 30min... it was like popcorn
POP!POP!POP!!!!!

3girls & 2boys girls came first then boy followed...
Ini was 4oz, Mini was 3oz, Miny was 4oz, Mo was 3oz and Weiny was 2oz
Weiny took little to long cause mommy got tired and didn't push much...
and he's so skinny so I had to make sure he get milk ever an hour...
However, Mo's placenta got retained and I called vet to see if I need to bring her in, my vet told me that as long as Cheeky is active and eat & sleep with normal temp, I shouldn't worry about it. Vet said that it may take couple days to expel... Is it true? I called emergency Vet close to me and they charge $500 for visit. What should I do? Can I really just wait for her to do it in her own? I've been watching her like a stalker and so for she's doing fine except panting... here are some pics...

Congrats on the beautiful babies. I don't know about the placenta. Is there another vet that you can contact in your area and see if they will give an oxy shot? I have read that it helps clean them out.

Wow, congrats! And GREAT JOB Cheeky!!!!

IDK, it would make me very nervous knowing that she still has a placenta retained; I have heard that it can take a little while to come, but I think I'd opt for the shot to make sure she gets it out. Are you sure it's still there? Maybe she ate it without your knowing. But even if that were the case, you still don't KNOW for sure.

I love the "just born" pics; still in the sack. It's amazing isn't it?

I always think about getting shots like that, but get caught up in the moment and helping mom get the baby out, that I miss those kodak moments. So, great pics!
