Litters in October? Hey everyone, Its not a for sure thing just yet, but my babies will hopefully be expecting their own little ones in October. I was just wondering who else might be expecting litters of their own in October. |
hello, i mmay be having a litter in october, my little girl tied on aug a week ago x3, while my little boy dog was waiting to be spayed he has since had is op and is doing well. i will let you know in about another 30 days then should start seeing some signs, perhaps we can help each other, thanks |
We believe ours tied around Aug 12th, so we are expecting somewhere around Oct 13th, my birthday!!! lol Would love to keep in touch with you gals and compare notes and symptoms. My Carly saw the Vet yesterday and she is showing some swollen boobs and a little swelling in the tummy according to the dr. She threw up 4x in 5 min on the car ride home, she has never been car sick before. Yay! I'm going to be a grandma!!! :D |
Is this your first litter. My little girl was sick once before early on turned out to be a phantom pregnancy, the time she was pregnant had no symptoms till 5 weeks. This time she is wanting more attention could be a sign. to confirm pregnancy and it gives you a idea of how many pups expecting i take her for a scan at about 35 days, however last time said 4 pups and she had 5. good luck for now keep in touch hannah |
Which one of us are you asking? Lol yes this is MY first litter. My gf saw ours tie but couldn't remember what date it was as she had my dog a couple of days so the Dr estimated around the 12th to give her a couple of days for pregnancy to occur. She said when they tied they were on her bed and were stuck only about 2 min then my dog jumped off the bed and at that point they became unstuck thankfully neither were injured. :eek: |
you (sweetest) i was replying to sorry i was not very clear. |
Well good thing I responded! Hehe is this your first? ~Teresa |

Yeah this is my first litter. My little girl is showing some swelling in her boobs, been eating like crazy (around 5 meals a day), some slight swelling in her belly, she's been real b****y towards my male over food and beds, she has only gotten sick once so far, but I don't think the first tie took so I'm estimating that she will be three weeks on Monday. Are you guys worried about going through your first litters? |
I am worried but I think its just natural, I think I will do ok, I'm already getting everything ready for her whelping box & I've seen some you tube videos & have also received great advice. I can't wait to see how many she is having! She is getting so chunky, sleeps all the time & is very calm compared to what she used to be. |
My girl has been sleeping more, but she is still really active. She is being really obsessive about having everyone love her right now. She weighed 5.4 lbs during her heat cycle and now she is weighing 5.3 today. Its been 3 weeks since her first tie (don't think it took), the only thing I have noticed is swelled nipples and a slight belly bulge. So I will give another 3 weeks and I'll do a palplation test. I have most of my stuff together. I'm still waiting for my sister in law to get me hemostates from her vet clinic (couldn't find them online at Revival), then I just need some forceps and clositol. I have everything else in a cloth storage box sitting on top of her crate that she sleeps in at night. |
My girl has a bulg and is more loving then excited with us. She's also using her dog bed more often when before she just wanted to be in bed with us. I was worried about her eating since I hadn't really noticed much of a change & I went & got some wet food cans & opened one & gave some to both my Yorkie girls but mainly Carly & they ate it like there was no tomorrow! I think I might give her wet & dry food for now so I can make sure she has that extra nutrician. |
You can also start giving her some cottage cheese (1/8c) and boiled or scrambled egg every other day. I start Raeley on that Monday the 7th and well keep that up for 4 weeks till (28th). Then I will stop giving her the calcium (cottage cheese) two weeks before her expected delivery. Do you guys have belly pics yet? |
hopefully expecting around the 12th of october |

Sorry its taken me a bit to get back to you Mary. I have been deep cleaning my house for fleas. Long story, post a thread on the general discussion about it. As for the cottage cheese it was some advise I had gotten from a vet and website (accidently deleted my bookmarks the other day) that was recommended on YT, but I have yet to clear it with my aunt (the vet I trust with everything). |

Well thats good to hear! Its hard to get ahold of my aunt all the time. She's always working or enjoying her time with her new family (can't blame the girl). I just wished she lived here instead of almost 5 hours away. I would love her help if Raeley is pregnant to be here to help with the whelping. |
3 Attachment(s) Here's Raeley's Belly pictures. She is almost 4 weeks from her 1st tie (Monday). What do you all think? |

How funny! Looks like we may be whelping on the same day. From Raeley's tie dates we'll be pretty close together! |

It is possible. When was her first tie? If you calculate 28 days past the first tie that is when you should take her into the vet to see if they can feel any puppies. Most of the time you can tell by week 5, but some don't swell till the end of the pregnancy. If you have doubts take her to the vet. I'm giving my girl another week and then I will take her in if I can't feel them myself. |

If you carefully squeeze her lower abdomen you should feel something that resembles little balls in her belly. You very well could be past the date that a vet can feel the babies. You might be better off waiting till 7 weeks and see if she has expanded any more. If you do think she is pregnant (sounds to me like she is, excessive eating, drinking, and clinginess) then take her at day 56 or so to get an x-ray (your choice) to see an estimate (could miss one that is behind another puppy) of the puppies you'd be expecting. My girl has had an increase in eating, drinking, needing attention (she doesn't leave my side unless she is napping on my bed), she can't jump up on my bed anymore, has had an attitude towards my male, she been after human food more than ever, has decreased her playing time, and has been taking everything (socks, tissue, paper, reciepts) that she can find and has been shredding it apart or chewing on it all the time. She feels more comfortable under my bed where she can hid and make a nest, but we have denied her access to under my bed in case she going into labor and we can't reach her under there. |
