Puppy watch Hi! This is my first time posting. I have read all the great advice from all the wonderful breeders on here. I'm expecting my first litter due 1-10-13. Trixie is 59 days today. I started taking her temp 2 days ago. It's been running 99 throughout the day then 100.2 at night. This morning when I took it, it was 98! I took it 2 hours later and still 98. She's not eating her food, but she ate a little cottage cheese this morning. Im do nervous, but excited at the same time. I just wanted a little feedback and reassurance. Thanks for listening! |
Expect puppies tomorrow. :) best wishes on your whelping. |

Have your vet on standby in case of emergency....how many babies is she carrying? When you did her xray, did the vet measure mommas pelvic ring?? All will fit thru without difficulty, no doubt....not a problem you want to encounter during your first whelp! Have all your supplies set up and ready to grab....I even go ahead and cut my floss for the cords....good luck! Keep us posted! |
I agree, puppies very soon.... best of luck.. and keep that cell phone handy with the emergency vet number and the vet number on speed dial... mine is on speed dial in all the phones..LOL wishing your gal a safe and fast whelping.. hugs.. |
That's for the replies. I did have an X-ray at 51 days and it showed 3 puppies. I have my vets number ready just in case. I will keep everyone posted. She has laid on her blanket all day. |
Good luck I hope she has an easy labor and delivery. Please keep us updated |
no puppies as of yet. Her temp went up to 99 last night. This morning its back at 98. She is now in her whelping box just laying around being sluggish. She also threw up this morning. Keeping a close eye on her! |
Thanks for the update |
watch her close and if you have any questions call your vet.. Praying for a speedy delivery Keep us updated |
she should start having pups very soon.. keep a close eye on her.. have you seen clear liquid discharge? did she loose her mucus plug? |

How very exciting for you, Best wishes for a great and worry free whelp and I cant wait to see the pups ! Whats her temp, and behavior been like ? |
I give my newborns, 1/4 a tube of benebac, is a study done that much of the fading puppy deaths are related to deficiency of good flora, so I do the benebac, as soon as they are aspirated and wiggly, then give the pup to mom and started with my last litter the next day I give them the .01cc Dr.Millers Pet Nutra Drops, I learned of them here.. and I thought it was a great thing, so I started giving it to the pups the next day.. and my litter was a huge success... hugs, |

Thanks for the great advice! Just took temp and its 98.6. She ate some cottage cheese. Laid in her wheeling box for a while today. She's had kind of a blank stare and her eyes look a little dilated. She went potty several times last night 4 times in an hour and it was clear not yellow like urine, but I had given her some broth 30 mins before that. Babies are still moving around and she's not really acting laborish (panting, digging,etc.) she's just pretty laid back and calm. I'm sorry if I sound nervous, this is my first time for breeding and I am not a breeder. But I love yorkies and I wanted an offspring from her and him! I have gotten so much advice from this website and my main concern is Trixie and her well being. She is my child!!! Thanks again and I will keep posted. Keep coming with the advice! :) |
