| The forever labor ........ last night katie wouldnt sleep with me, so i put her in a large kennel i bought for her litter when tiny. but right becide my bed. ( i made a bed on the floor ive been sleeping in so i could sleep by the kennel and help whelp her. my teddybear tends to whelp on my bed...) anyways all night she just dug around. i knew something wasnt right becase she allways is by me, she sleeps right agenst my face. this morning her temp was 98 on the dot. and the same late afternoon, all day she seems to have a bit of labored breath, and wants to poop alot. she sometimes pant. but no pushing yet. its almost 8pm here. do you think i should stay up, or should she be ok for the night? sometimes shell get up and look fine, its soo confusing. nonething at all like the teddy bear.

| I just went through which seemed like a long labor with my Gina. She started Saturday night digging and panting and all day Sunday same thing. She had her first pup Sunday night at 11:40am and continued until 4 in the morning (6 puppies) From what I understand first stage Labor can go on for 24 hours. My guess is that she will have them over night. Does she seem restless and want you near her all the time? I'm no expert but just my experience of what I have been through with my girl. Maybe some of the experience breeders can help you more. Good Luck! |

| It sounds to me like she is in labor. As the pups move through the birth canal it does put pressure on the colon and it makes them want to poop. If I were you I would definitely stay up with her tonight. Best of luck. |

| ok great, i sleep right next to her anyways, my head is right next to the kennel, im a really attached mommy. but i would never want to miss a litter being born, when my first litter was born a shichon, one of the babes had a cord wrapped around its neck, we cut it off, but right then i knew you had to be right by them. ive only been through 3 teddy bear litters, but they never put me through so much as my yorkie is. thanks for letting me know your awesome |

| Thanks for the update. It sure sounded like she would have them last night. I bet you are tired. Hopefully she will have them soon. |
