How big is too big...pregnant yorkie

[KendraE]

Honeslty, at this point, she has more than proven to me how INcapable she is. I really dont care if she refuses (which I doubt she would), Ill take the girl myself to have her seen about. I called my vet and scheduled her for Saturday morning for a sono...Then I guess we can x-ray when the time gets closer if thats what is recommended!

Yikes!

I've seen tons of pregnant bellies in my line of work. But that one looks like it hurt.

Believe it or not she still tried to run around when she was that big. She also tried to continue to jump on the couch and such. Unfortunately she couldn't lift the weight so I bought stairs that helped her up on things.

Luckily she was only that big for a few days (less than a week) but it sure was scary to see that belly quickly get bigger.

I just wanted to say thank you..... Thanks to all those that rose above themselves to reach out....thanks to all of u who think you are somehow better than me....thank you for truly loving the breed, because you "care" so much !!!!!!! really, thanks!

I love my yorkie, Bevo and my newest Mac, even if he may be bald later on.....I am truly in love with both my boys.... But I have to question your ethics, your point of view.... Do u really believe yourself to be bigger than me and others?

People...regular people.... come here reaching out for help....can't u put your ethics aside just for a moment and truly try to help???? I have felt so much comfort from YT, but at the same time, nothing but heartache and criticism...I came here to learn and it seems 90% of the time I just see snotty people thinking that they are so above and beyond all these newbies.... And I ask you, were you never a newbie, ever?????

Im just asking simply for some answers....but. if in YHO they aren't right for me, I wil move on....

I haven't seen anything like this in this thread, at all. Not a single post was like that- people posted their own experiences, or well wishes, thats it.

Kendra,
If I was in your situation with a mommy who needed help, I wouldn't be able to turn my back on her, either. She didn't ask to be put in the situation that she is in and if you can help her then by all means do it. Yes, she belongs to a BYB, but that's not her fault. You have a big heart and obviously love these dogs. I wish you the best of luck.

Im sorry, It wasnt about this thread. I read a TON of threads last night trying to absorb more information. But, so many people came here to ask questions (and yes, alot were really silly questions), but maybe to them they weren't....and so many of the responses they got were just rude and plain mean. It was just upsetting, because I know in my situation right now, I am carefully listening to all the advice I am given, considering every word you all say. And I just wondered how all the others felt when they read their replies to their threads.

I am truly grateful for those who have offered advice to me. I havent had too many pound me into the ground. It just broke my heart to see some of the other threads and wonder how hurt the Op's were...so I vented!!

Hope everyone has a really good day....Its finally Friday!

Lol... Yeah, that pic didn't really show alot! She just blew up overnight! The vet thinks she just has alot of fluid.... We are going to do another sono in a week. She just looked really big to me for only having 3 pups with 3 weeks to go!

I'm just worried about her! She's probably perfectly normal for her size!

She look fine... and she will only get bigger! She will gain the majority of her weight during the last week to ten days of pregnancy. She may be carrying four or more pups which has a lot to do with how big she will get.

She looks every even...looks more then 3, but time will tell..her size is in her favor to whelp without a problem...but we all know how that goes...

Agree mine looked like she was going to pop around day 50 with her 1st litter, she only had 3 pups at 3ozes each, Just keep a close eue on he,r only time will tell if a c/section is needed, usaly the vet can messure the pups and the pelvis to assure they will pass without an issue..

Can anyone tell me where to get a beef liver? I thought Id have it ready in case we have a weak pup...I looked yesterday while out shopping and didnt see any...Should i call my local meat company?

[carmen in nj]

if you have a meat store or a butcher you can get it there.
best of luck to you and your expecting mama.
