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.

That's great. Admitting you have a problem is winning half the battle. Seriously, you are contradicting yourself here: 'I know I'm not ready....I can do this on my own.'

Makes no sense. None at all.

If I think the way I do? I don't even know where to go with that one... Furthermore, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't YOU the one asking for help and panicking and asking questions? Everyone here is just trying to help YOU. I was only trying to stress the seriousness of the situation...apparently something you already were aware of.

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]

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.

If it were me, I would take her into the vet as soon as she starts having contractions. This being a risky birth I would want to take no chances and have her there with a vet so if there was any complications she would get immediate and proper care.
I wish you and your girl the best of luck!! Keep us updated!!

doortego · 08-14-2006, 04:55 AM

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.

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....

fannie · 08-14-2006, 05:27 AM

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.
