| 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!

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? |

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.

| Don't know, Roxie has had a plug bith times. It's Ann Seranne's book on page 120. Roxie's is very thick and can caught up in the hair, it's difficult to remove. We had her xray done Mon. and counted 7 heads. She's due on Tue. and it just immense! I have a show this weekend and am a little nervous about going away. We'll see how it goes.

| 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 know you have Lee and I do envy you that! SIGH! Yea by the time these pups are born the rest of my dogs will be fat as everyone wants to share in the bounty. All of my plans are on hold with this litter. She only has 7 teats so it looks like I'll be taking time off from work. The vets on standby and we're praying for the best. This is Connor's first litter so I'm very excited.

| 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.) Debra x x x |
