Default My Yorkie "BABY" is now 64 days pregnant

My baby girl is 64 days prego....should I be concerned?

She is whining when she lays down...small whines...and this morning she vomitted up her food half hour after she ate it...

She weighed 7 pounds before and now real close to 12 pounds.

It sounds like she could be getting close. Have you been taking her temperature? Is she showing any signs of having contractions. Any digging? When the pups are due depends on how many times you bred her and when her eggs were fertilized. I have several females go 65 to 70 days from the first breeding.

If you have any doubts about how she is doing then please contact your vet and make him aware of your situation.

Hi Thanks for the info She was mated April 28th at 7pm and then again April 30th around 5pm.

She whines real quietly when laying down, and then this morning I took her temp and it was 98.5 and then few hours later it was 98.7 then 98.9

Im about to check again....

She vomitted up her food this morning she hardly ever does that.

I didn't do the xray on her only because it was only going to show how many puppies
not anything else.

If it was the second breeding that took then she could possibly have a couple more days but most likely she will have the pups within 24 hours. Sometimes the temperature drop indicates pending labor but also it could just mean her blood sugar is low because she has not eaten. I would give her a little corn syrup with water and if she holds that down try to get her to eat a little more food. Just watch her very very close.

When my girl was in labor, one of the breeders here suggested scrambled eggs.

The vet tech swore to me Allie wasn't in labor and told me not to bring her in. I was on the phone with them, watching her tummy contract. She never made a sound-even when pushing. We had an x-ray to know how many puppies because I wanted the peace of mind. She was only pregnant with one and he was big.

So wrong! You do not think it is important to know how many babies are in there??? How do you know when she is finished delivering, besides guessing????? .........an xray shows you how many babies to expect, it shows you the position of the babies, and it shows you the SIZE of the babies....that is how you KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that she can even pass the puppies without them getting stuck in the pelvic ring because they are too big or because they are entering the birth canal sideways. Good luck with your whelping. I hope you have someone with some experience there with you during the whelping. You can be up to your neck in alligators and not even know it......

And I would also suggest that you take her in after whelping for a POP shot.

An xray will not guarantee number of puppies at all some could be hiding...doesnt tell me if they are alive or dead etc...my vet even told me yorkies have no problem delivering and the male was only 2.5 pounds she should have a easy labor he was half her size.

My feelings on x-ray is that it is a personal choice. I don't condemn anyone if they chose not to do it. I have been raising yorkies for over 16 years and have never had one x-rayed. I do think that for the very small females it is necessary but then I don't recommend anyone breeding females under 5 lbs. The x-ray is not accurate on number of pups if the bitch is carrying a very large litter and it is not really accurate as to telling if the female will be able to pass the pup. So many things can go wrong during delivery so regardless of an x-ray or not we need to be prepared to go to the vets at the first sign of a problem.

Lol, your vet must not of delivered many yorkie litters because a lot can go wrong as state by Yorkiemom1. The male does not determine the size of the pups, the female does. Most likely your female will do fine but she could have problems even though she is a bigger girl. Just be prepared.

Have you delivered pups before? When I deliver pups I help the mom as much and I can and I cut the cords on the pups.

Thanks for ur advice. I checked her temp again. Its now at 98.3

I suspect it should be anytime now within next 24 hours.

Spoke to her vet again and they said most people don't get an xray.

And if she crys loud after labor then something is wrong to bring her in asap which I will.


they are a 24 hour clinic. I think she will be fine though she is very healthy and weighed 7 pounds before getting prego.

You are probably right....but I did want to let you know I am not a newbie at this! I have been researching and studying Yorkies since 1976, doing breeding for a little over 12 years, and have whelped between 32 -40 litters. When I decided to breed Yorkies, I made certain I selected vets that specialized in small dogs, especially Yorkies,....I have been fortunate enough to have vets that can read xrays pretty well, and are very knowledgable in exposure so the xrays, 9 times out of 10 are very clear and accurate, and if they miss count at all, it is usually by one. We always shoot from several angles....no pups can hide from that.... Of course, my vet does not do xrays to determine viability...I also do ultra sounds at 6 weeks of pregnancy....she also listens with a doppler and can determine if the babies are alive by counting heart beats, but they are usually very active and even I can feel them moving around! BTW, Yorkies are notorious for having problems with delivering puppies. And, just FYI, the size of the babies is determined by the pedigrees of BOTH the parents, going back as much as 12 generations, and not just the sire of the litter. I am praying you have a wonderful large litter, because your female has almost doubled in weight.....lets pray that is 6-7 small babies and not 2- 3 HUGE pups! Hopefully, you DID measure her pelvic ring so you will have an idea of the size of pups she can pass.....nope never mind...that is done with calipers on xray.
