my lil cookie monster is eating again but she is active and hanging in...so you think i shouldnt take her and just wait im scared i dont want to loose her |
I really doubt she'll eat before going into labor. The best predictor is the drop to or below 98 degrees in temperature. You should be able to see and feel the contractions - her whole stomach will tighten and then release. When you see the contractions you should have plenty of time to drive her to the vets. Just have a plastic storage box lined with a towel ready to go. |
Mine never had a water sac either. By that time, the puppy was on its way out. The best indicator I've seen is the shaking that they do. When it's getting close, you'll know. They tremble. |
I wasn't able to depend on the temperature dropping. I started taking Emilee's temp a week before her due date morning and evening. It jumped all over the place and never did go down below 100 unless it was sometime during the day. |
I have found this thread to be very informative. As a potential future breeder this is very helpful. I remember the first posts about her little female being bred by a larger male, but cannot remember the weights of the dogs. I'll have to go back and check. I assume this is the mothers first pregnancy. And Wow 5 babies. I sure hope she delivers on her own and fdoes well. It wi;ll make me feelf a lot better when I have to go through it. fanni, I'll have you on speed dial when I go through this. |
No way..... Quote:
No need to waste an unsincere apology on me when it could be saved for your female instead. I wish you (and your girl) the best of luck with the upcoming whelp. Hopefully you will find the miracle....uh, I mean answers here that you are looking for.[/QUOTE] |
Whew....... :rolleyes: I cannot believe this thread....apparently the ones who responded harshly were trying to prove something I guess........that she made a mistake and she needed to be hung, I guess..... I am quite shocked frankly........lets go back to " we are not ALL perfect.....and geez......I am not quite sure I would feel very comfortable asking for "delivery" advice..... See everyone is different under stress....lets all chalk this up to "inexperience"......period. |
Sorry.....my cut and paste went haywire...... :confused: Quote:

all these negative comments and harsh words and comments being thrown around is very childish...we all come to thise site for help, information and answers to ? we may have...frm the smartest to the stupidest ?z...not to sit here and be harsh to eachother...and battle...but anyway my little girl is doing okay stil hanging in there..she started eating again but not everything she its a little less than she was...also another ? do you think i should take her to the vet once she goes into labor or give her a chance to give birth at home on her own? is it bad to take her to the vet right away and not give her a chance to do it on her own? thank you for your opinions and concerns |

I wish you and your girl the best of luck!! Keep us updated!! |
If it were me, I would take her to the vet. I would just feel better knowing that IF something did go wrong, help was there. God bless & please let us know how she is doing. |
Its ok....... Quote:
Welcome back!....I am so glad everything is ok. My gut is, since your new to the "delivery" thing......you and the Mom may feel better if she is at the vet. Although, there is a bit of expense to the Vet doing the delivery. You and I agree totally.......this is a place for comfort, answers and friendship......nothing less....:friendsh: |
I also agree with taking her to the vet right away. I would also have a chat with the vet now and make sure that they know what the plan is. |
oki so i think i will go ith just bringing her there and all..her tummy seems to be a little tighter than usual today so wel see what happens thanks again |
Hi diamond, I am sorry your babies first time is such a risky one! I was nervous I mean REALLY nervous the first time my Autumn whelped. Her second litter is due in 9 days. I have regular checkups with the vet (she has one tomorrow. Thought it was today and I got my dates confuzzled. Too much excitement I think LOL) and my vet lives about 2 miles from my house. Her last litter we had one still born pup that I had to pull. I called my vet at his home and he talked me through the pulling process. I feel more prepared this time around then I did last time, so I agree I think all first timers are more nervous than others. My vet is on my speed dial and he has said I can call him at home no matter the time when Autumn has this litter. So I suggest talking to your vet or someone who is more experienced with whelps to either be with you and your little one or atleast on call so you can get her help immediately if she should need it. Good luck and may she have 5 beautiful babies! |
hello all shes still hanging in she can barely hold her self up now and her bark has changed a little...shes playful but also loves to sleep...just keeping her near for now i take her to work with me and bring her box to sleep in...shes still eating very little so i guess todays not the day..but im ggoing to watch her closely anyways maybe shel eat until her contractions start you never know and im not taking chances..puppies are moving around not as much as before but you feel them going in circles or youl feel the head or foot stick out of the side...so just a bried update |

I don't think you will need another appointment. Autumn is going for her checkup because we haven't had the x-ray yet. If you have a 24 hour vet that is good! Just keep watching her and try to relax. |
my thoughts are with you. i will soon be on lookout for puppies next week and i am already a wreck. hang in there. when the time comes, i am sure you will be strong for your little princess. |
oki so she has stopped eating again the last she ate was half a bowl of chicken and a piece of shish kebab and we tried giving her chicken again at like 6 and she didnt touch it its now 12:29 AM and we gave her a treat and she ate it but still not eating food..a little panting and a lot of sleeping...her stomach is tight *hard* so thats it for now i hope its soon so she doesnt suffer anymore but thats all for now keep praying thank you |
Thanks for the update. Poor Fendi, but I'm glad she's still able to carry them. Good job, baby girl. |
Good luck! Can't wait to hear when she gives birth to those 5 little furbabies! :p |
oki dumb ? but have to ask bc im a nervous freak as the seconds go by i get worst...she keeps farting...or just a bad smell coming from her...is this bad? she just ate a little chicken so maybe shes keepin them in as long as possible hopefully i pray that they are all healthy and fully developed when the time comes |
made a mistake and couldnt fix it oops sorry |
poor baby. have you started taking her temperture yet? |
I think she has said she already tried taking her temp and her baby wasn't cooperating. Kept biting her. Diamond, I would ask your husband to hold her firmly, not to tight, don't want to hurt her, and try doing her temp again. |
how is she doing??? |
Don't remember any of mine "farting" so I'll leave that up to a breeder who breeds more frequently and maybe has come across that. If you smell a foul odor though I would check her discharge and make sure it isn't green. |
