If she is not in active labor her "water" didn't burst. Dogs are not like women whose water breaks. Each puppy is contained within a "sac". During labor it is possible for a sac to burst before the puppy is expelled. This is known as a dry birth. |

(and I didn't explain missys story right- we noticed the wet when it would prob have been there a while, we wouldn't have had her to the vets a heck of a lot faster had we noticed it earlier... I'm a panicker, but my vet doesn't mind- thankfully!) |
Still Waiting You were right went to the after hours vet and she said that her water had not broken. It must have been a lot of pee :P We are still waiting she is having me still take her temp even though I feel like her temp is beyond erratic. She is still digging and panting periodically on and off. So she said that it should happen soon but be patient. If she has not had them by Tuesday we will do another x-ray. Then I will have to decide whether we do a oxytocin shot or a c-section. So I am just waiting. I really hope we do not have to do a c- section. I am not one for surgery but if it necessary i will do it. Yes her milk has come in. It has been in for a couple days now. I will put her temps here if anyone has any input I would greatly appreciate it. I take them at 8:00 am, 3:00pm and 8:00 pm. Day 57 =Am 101.03 AN.100.62 PM 100.42 Day 58=Am 99.83 An 99.85 PM 99.42. Day 59=Am98.42 An 98.8 PM 99.9 Day 60=AM100.48 An.99.74 PM.99.1 Day 61=Am99.3 An.99.72 PM.100.49 Day 62=Am 98.06 An 100.4 PM99.86 Day 63=100.6 An98.7 PM100.4 |
Anything New? |
Checking in for an update |
I just posted in another thread in this section. You are going through what I just did until last Friday when my Biewer finally whelped her litter. It was 3-4 days of wonder (and slight) worry. After the fact, I've decided that all that we see (or think we see) in those days before real labor starts are the silent & some what invisible ways the mom & pups are getting ready for birth. Of course, having decided that now...........no doubt the next litter I have, I will be waiting, wondering, (and slightly) worrying once again. :rolleyes: Good luck with your girl & her litter. Hope they come soon, all healthy & well! |
LOL, just like a human pregnancy,the last few days seem a LOT longer than the early ones..I do the same..I worry sick,walk around check her a million times and worry some more... is the mother on us... she will have her litter when it her time, wonder words from my mentor...LOL,once day I will follow them... can't wait to hear she whelped safely .. hugs |
OK I could not wait till Tuesday so we just got back from the vet. We did another x-ray and to our surprise we are having 4 now not 3 :) Vet said she looks good and we talked about doing a c-section on Friday if no pups come.( I am still not sure if I want to wait that long but for someone who wanted to induce a little while ago she seems to be putting it off now) I do have a question though on the x-ray I noticed all the pups are butt and feet first is this something to worry about?? I asked the vet and she said that they will correct themselves and if not she will be fine. She also said she would be fine to have them alone while I am not home which actually really made me wonder on her expertise as a vet. I just keep going over and over it........I may call around and get some other opinions tomorrow!! Actually I am going to get some other opinions tomorrow :) Sorry I am probably just being ridiculous but She is my baby girl!!! |
I would never leave one alone to whelp :eek: anything can go wrong |
Right, My thoughts exactly! Plus i don't like the fact that when we started this Bella only weighed 8 pounds and today she almost weighed 13!!! That seems like a lot for a little dog! Plus the vet made the comment " Wow pups have gotten big .... That is what we like to see) Now why the Hell do we want them that big??? Healthy yes but big No. The more I sit here and go over the conversation the more I am kicking myself for not speaking up. I am calling other vets in my area tomorrow for a second opinion. I am not happy right now not happy at all. ........... Called my breeding mentor who is furious I might add ! He said get another opinion like now. He said" Never leave any dog alone to whelp because to many complications could arise! Your vet is a quack" I have always used this vet and never had any problems but I have never really had anything like this happen before either. Not sure what to think right now :( |
My vet is Westside Animal Hospital in Fort Wayne Indiana. Anyone else had problems or heard of any?? |
what? WHELPING ALONE? IS THAT VET NUTS?.... ok, I am done... good thing you are a good mommy, the pups should correct themselves right before whelping, but again anything can happen, my girl is only about 34 days pregnant and I just cancelled my vacation today because I WONT let her alone thru pregnancy and whelping. get that second opinion tomorrow, and now is just a waiting game on when she is ready to let those puppies down...;) hugs, |
Just reading your thread and wanted to wish you well... You sound like a very stressed out fur mommy!! Hugs!!! And prayers for your baby!! |
wow.. it is hard to say anything about you or the vets, how is your female doing besides nesting signs? Is she stressed? Sick? throwing up? I am wondering why you would be considering a c-section if all is apparently normal? Not every dog whelp on day 63... i have had a few whelping dates varying from day 56 to day 72 and actually most went smooth... I only call for a c-section if it is really needed. Sorry i am a bit tired but i am trying to make sense of what it is going on. best luck, XOXO |

keep vigilant and alert other than that watch and love is all you can do for now...at this point I clean her vulva a couple of times a day with a white warm towel cloth,just to make sure she is not discharging anything that I can't see... hugs, |
