Are we close to labor??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

elenita · 05-17-2010, 03:01 PM

Gezell is 57 days today. She is not really eating, licking herself, hiding her face, digging and panting. Inbetween she is relaxing. Her normal temp of 99.5 last night at 9pm is now 98.2... The puppies are moving around a lot. I cant tell if she is clingy because I wont leave her side. I am suppose to work tomorrow then on a 3 week vacation for her. I know some people say the temp thing doesnt work so what should I go by? Also I read that it is unhealthy for puppies to be born under 58 days because their lungs are not fully developed. Is this true?or is it 55 days?
Any help is appreciated. thanks

Sounds like labotr. How is she doing.

The temps drive me crazy, but some people swear by it.

I would not leave her alone tomorrow.

I know I also sent you a pm but im anxious...She is still resting yet panting/ breathing heavy... should i take her to the other room where her whelping box is? My husband said she was in her box all day until I got home. Im just worried about her breathing if it is not labor...

sure sounds like labor to me....with Niecy.....Ally's temp dropped to 98.2....and Niecy was born 13 hours later....good luck and keep us updated.

elenita · 05-17-2010, 06:48 PM

Heavy and panting in between. Also grunting a little. She insists on being on the couch..ughhh lol She did just drank a little water though...Could it still be Labor?

Tnyorkiemom · 05-17-2010, 07:08 PM

the temp does go back up as the labor progresses....good luck...sounds like a typical midnight birth to me......lol.....good luck...post pics when you can

elenita · 05-17-2010, 07:45 PM

Is it normal for her to constantly Lick her teats? I dont think she can reach her vulva. She wont get out of her bed. she was nesting not digging, still panting and restless.

Just checking in on you. Looks like you may be in for a long night...possibly a long day as well.

She should get busy soon if this is the real deal. Keep us posted!!

elenita · 05-17-2010, 10:14 PM

Yes, still up..

I hope this is the real deal. She has me lifting her up on the couch then putting her off, then lifting her up etc etc...wow she got heavy. When she was lying next to me I can feel the pups moving all over the place..

weird how I felt them in my stomach and their in hers..lol.. Ohh how I wanna sleep..

but Im waiting just in case. I saw her looking around for a safe place so i tried easing her to the whelping box..not sure how thats gonna work. She sleeps for a few min then gets up. Thanks for checking in, I will keep updating

hi hun......how are you this morning...did you get any sleep..........do we have puppies yet?

elenita · 05-18-2010, 06:05 AM

We were up all night and she is not ready yet. Still panting and nesting. I gave in and brought her upstairs to a closet. I put a blanket down and she is very comfortable. Vet says first stage of labor also. It has been since 6pm last night. Im thinking if she doesnt deliever by 3pm I am taking her to the vet.

elenita · 05-18-2010, 06:22 AM

Yes, 30min of sleep..lol..we must of posted at the same time. She is very close. She just started squating but not sure if anything is coming out. Now she wants to leave the closet room. she came out of the closet and is at the door now waiting to get out. I just brought everything from downstairs to upstairs..

Should i make sure she stays in this room now? I didnt like the orginal room she was always in. It was the den and too much traffic. ughhhh i wish they would come already so I can help her
