I take her to the vet on Fri. to see how many puppies she has. I'm thinking 4 or 5. She seems really uncomfortable right now. Poor baby.

The x-ray with her first litter had her upset because they actually took her from me and carried her to the back for it. She was shaking when they brought her back. I know they were nice to her, but it stressed her out. I didn't worry as much when it was scheduled before this week, but she is so close now. What would you guys do??

I don't want her to get stressed so we will just be surprised. We will just take her in for a checkup and oxy shot afterwards.
I have been listening for heartbeats though to see if I can determine how many that way. So far I hear 3.

If it stresses Livi out too much I would do the same that we are doing with Destiny.

Good luck with whatever you decide!!

Tammy, I think I agree with this................if Livi is that close and really gets that stressed out about it, I think I'd just hold off on the xray at this point too if I were you. You're going to know how many there are before to long anyway. I'm praying for and wishing you (and all the January litters to be) a safe whelp and lots of healthy babies and mommies!

I have to take my son back to college tomorrow and I am praying she don't have the babies before I return on Wednesday, January 6.

Karmy waited. She gave birth to two beautiful girls this morning.

I don't think that we will get the x-ray this time. Makes me nervous to not have an idea of how many or the size of them, though. But ya know, we were told 3 puppies last time and the vet also said how large they already looked....guess what?! There were 4 puppies and they were only 2oz. at birth and that x-ray was a week before they were born...so imagine how tiny they were when he said they were large. I don't think that I want to stress Livi out with being this close to her due day. She has done so well this week and has been calm and eating great so I am not going to do anything that might upset her.

Can't believe that we only have 3 more days! Same with Destiny...she's due the same day. How is she feeling?

Congratulations. One by one the list is going down.
BTW I love the user name. Very original

Ollie has gained and she has milk, so guessing there is a growing baby. Hoping so anyway.

I sure hope so
I wish they had a user friendly at home pregnancy test for dogs

I know what you mean about the x-ray. Destiny's last x-ray showed 4 puppies, she only had 3 though.

Destiny is getting more restless each day. She's been digging a lot today and her breathing seems to be heavier. Her milk is in already and her tummy looks huge so I'm thinking the puppies have dropped. I just took her temperature and it is down to 99.
So I don't think it will be too long before pups start coming but she could surprise me. Tomorrow is day 58 for her. Her first litter she had them on day 58, second litter on day 61. I'm thinking by her progress she will have them early again this time.

How's Livi doing? Any signs of going into labor? Does she have her milk in yet? I sure can't wait to see her beautiful babies!! I will be praying for a quick and smooth delivery with no complications!!

Sounds like she is still pregnant.

It does sound like things are progressing with Destiny, doesn't it?! Livi has been just fine today....no signs of anything. She has eaten alot and has even played (very little, though) with Huckleberry. I think that she will hold off until her due day because she seems just fine at this point.

Good luck to you and Destiny! Keep us posted on her.
