Help? please? Hi, My yorkie is in her second pregnacy and she has double the amount she had last time (she had 2 last time) She did not show any signs of labor or anything the first time and she had them at around 3 in the morning. My mother gave her a bath around noon today and now her milk dropped. I know this is hard to believe but my mom and I think we heard a little squeak from her stomach and it was not her, it sounded like a puppy. But what I am really wanting to know is what are the signs of her going into labor? |
Have you been taking her temperature? It should be around 100-101. When it drops to around 99-98 you have about 24 hrs. before she goes into stage 2 labor. Some of the other signs of impending labor are: nesting, refusal to eat, and loss of mucus plug. The pup would not have cryed as it has yet to take it's first breath. Good luck with your whelping! |
Sending good wishes your way - if you are in doubt, please call your vet!! |

Take her temp often, 4 times a day. Some have their temp fluxuate for a few days....up and down. One thing that I have noticed in my line....in 1st stage labor...they get a stupid look on their face....kind of blank and staring off into space...... |
Thank you all! Thanks for all the responses and your help! I checked her temp again this morning and it is 99.7. I am going to monitor her and all that good stuff. Nail clipping her is not an option, she will not let us near her with the nail clippers lol but that is another story. Her mate is acting strange too. He is cowering away from us when we try to show him attention. Maybe she yelled at him? |
Still no pups yet well her temp is below 101 it keeps jumping from 98.5 to like 99.7 so it should be any day now right? |

Yep!.....How many times was she bred and on what days? Should stay down about 12 - 24 hours....then you know her time is near. |

well the thing is, we never checked her temp on her first pregnancy, I heard about this site not too long ago. She had the pups the first time in the middle of the night while we were sleeping and she did not make a sound when she was having them. I am just worried about her having 4 pups, she is so little |

I panicked with Go-Go & Charmer's last litter....they were only 3 but, gaining so quickly, I got frightened for mom.....she just had a wonderful milk bar....but, I did start supplementing them at 3 weeks of age... |
2 Attachment(s) GizzieChewy - what weight is your pregnant female normally ? Just wondering as mine is day41, and she is small too. This is her first litter, and I think she only has 1 larger and possibly 1 smaller pup. ;) I know how you feel, but thankfully Tammy is not big so far - she is more wide, than balloon-like. (see pics of pregnant Tammy taken last few days.) :animal-pa Debra x x x |
