Good luck with everything! I can't wait to see the adorable pictures posted. What a great thanksgiving! |
She is in her box... :p Well, after I posted I puther in her whelping box and she had not come out of it. Usually, she will stay in but when I walk out of the room she will get out of the box, she did not do that this time. Thank you for sharing kandy's experience, now I know even though she doesn't have all the symptoms she could still have them anytime. Whoa, I am so nervous!! I hope it won't be two more days of this, lol...Today is day 62!!:p |
Sorry, another question... My boy keeps getting to get into the box with her and I keep getting him out. Should I let him lay in the whelping box with her? He is the dad and her best friend??:confused: |
It is best to seperate him from her, as time arrives she might snap at him and will be harder for her to just focus on her delivery. T. |
Is she doing a lot of licking of her vulva? I wouldn't worry about 97.7 at all, if it went much below 97 I probably would, but have never had that happen. I would keep Dad in another room. My Dad wants nothing to do with the puppies, he is afraid of them until they are about 7 or 8 weeks old so he never gets too close, just watches from a distance. If he was a human he would definitely be one of those in the waiting room - not assisting Mom! You'll have your hands full without having to worry about a third party. You should also have a separate area set up with a heating pad to put the puppies in between deliveries. I let Mom clean them up, place them on a nipple (if time permits), but as soon as she has another contraction the puppies come out so we can focus on the one being born. If she doesn't want to whelp in the box don't worry about that - the more free access you have to her the better. You can move them all in after it's over. I'll be really surprised if you don't have puppies sometime today (or tonight). |
wow so exciting ,,, yeah i agree with lacysmom, i didnt put dixie in her box til after the puppies were born course she wouldnt stay in it anyway lol... she was clingy but not alot of panting and i figured i had several hours next thing i knew oopsie there was a puppy lol... please keep us posted, sometimes they dont have all the classic symptoms hun just like humans they are all diff.. my male didnt come near while the labor was in progress its like he knew not to was kinda kewl. but until she actually started they were together const too they are never apart either best friends too |
Temp Again... :p Okay...so I left to the grocery store for 20 mins and I just got back and tok her temp. It is 98.0 exactly! I put her in her box and she is digging and and digging!! woohoo, now we are getting somewhere, lol... Okay, thank you everyone...:p I'm going to start my turkey... BTW-Happy Turkey Day to everyone!! |
kandy started digging the night before. Silk started digging about an hour before. puppies are on the way!!!!!!!!! put your male in another room |
I am sure... :p So, now I am sure she is in labor. She is laying streached out in her "box", quiet but breathing hard, a little whimpering in her breaths. She is streached out and I can see contractions (not too hard) and her vulva and area behind it is really swollen. When I moved her back into her box she was kinda limp and tired, just wanting me to do all the work. Poor baby, I hope she will have the strength to push. My boy Coco was fighting me to get in there, lol...I told him "No!" and he still jumped in there so since 2:00pm I had to put him in the other room. I keep running in and out...I am, cooking and checking, cooking and checking. Ahhhhhh! :p But no puppies yet... I am so excited. Thank you all...:p |
It will help ease her stress a lot if you don't leave her alone at all. I stay with mine continually and it really seems to help. Sometimes they will take off running when the pup starts to come out and you really need to be there to keep this from happening as they can rip the placenta from the puppy and cause a hernia. The sack also needs to come off and the baby suctioned within a minute too. I have also seen them not realize what is going on and bite at the thing that is hurting them (the baby's head). A lot can happen in just leaving them alone for a few minutes. Mine have very easy labors, three contractions and we have a pup and in less than 2 hours it's all over. I hope your baby has an easy delivery. Give us updates when you can. |
Keeping you and your mama to be in my prayers. I will keep checking back to see how things are going .:hands: :hands: |

:) This is so exciting! Can't wait for the next update! |
Good luck I am so excited for you. |
She is pacing... :p Everytime she has a contraction (last 2, about 10 mins apart) she gets up and starts pacing around the room, then she scoots down and pees a little, walks around a little more and then lays down again. Her eyes are glossy. Just now she stood in front of her box and was looking at me so I picked her up and put her in and she is resting again!:p |
