2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Sounds like she just needed to be where she felt most comfortable in order to relax and let nature take it course.

| My husband and I always whelp our litters on our bed. We have a big wicker dog bed that we place on our bed and it has lots of bedding in it so it is a nice soft place for mom to have her pups. We also put disposable bed pads on top of the bedding. You can buy those disposable bed pads at Wal-mart in the area where they sell the adult diapers. It sure makes whelping less messy. Once the mom has had all her pups then we move her and the pups to the whelping box that is setup inside a exercise pen.

With just over a week left to go hopefully you have been feeding her puppy food to increase her calcium levels. Start taking her temp once a day for the first three day starting on day five and than twice a day until she goes into labor, make sure to write them down. This is also the time when you will want to get her whelping box set up and get her use to being in it. It also necessary to have a heating pad to put under the bedding on a low setting to help keep the pup/pups warm. You won't want them to get chilled. Its always best to be prepared !

| A false pregnancy will last as long as a pregnancy would. Also with a false pregnancy some females get lots of milk. When you stand her up on her hind legs do you see a rounded bulge in her belly or is it flat?

| She does not really look pregnant in that picture but she could be hiding one. Can you trip all that belly hair with a small pair of scissors and take another pic. I can't really tell anything because of all the hair.

| I still can't tell. You need to trim all that belly hair before she has her pups if she has any. She could be carrying the pups up high. The pups usually drop several days before they are born. Are you going to take her to the vet for an x-ray?

| Are you going to have your momma xrayed? Now is the time....for safty sake, you need to know number, size of pelvic ring, and fit of puppy thru ring....position of puppy is of course subject to change, but if you go into a whelp with a puppy that is transverse, and your momma is not progressing like she should be, you have a clue that maybe that pup is still transverse and you can get help BEFORE it becomes critical.... |
