Ok, so we just got back from a new vet....I have been wanting to change vets for a little while and decided to try out this new one since my other one wasnt telling me anything and refused to give her a calcium supplement saying she did not need it....
The new vet was SOOOOO nice!! She said Kiley was a little over 9 pounds now!!! She took an x-ray to make sure she could have the pups ok (which the other vet said you could not do). She saw 4 possible 6 very healthy looking pups all turned the right way, the heads were a good size and she should have them with no problems. She checked her and said she could get her pinkie in her cervix, but no pups in the canal as of yet. She seems to think that for the past week she has been having small contractions and she said she would be looking for pups tonight!!! I really hope so!!!
I think I will stick with this vet, she makes me feel so much more comfortable. And she even gave me some calcium supplements to crush up and put in her food and said she would do a shot if she got eclampsia (sp).
ill keep yall posted, hope we see something soon!!

The vet said give her whatever she will take, shes not eating them anymore. Just that one time then she got back on her puppy food, she just needed and little encouragement to eat.

she is right. you do not want to give any calcium supp while she is preg. what this will do is cause her body not to produce any calcium on her own. so do not give her any supp.
after the babies are born and if she is not producing enough milk, then you can supp.

I am soooo on pins and needles. I love yorkie babies! We can always pass the time trying to pinpoint the actual on-set of delivery...

I say 7:03 pm tonight (Central Time)... 5 pups!

I say... she will start pushing into the birth canal around midnight. First pup by 1 am. My dogs always seem to have them in the middle of the night. Sassy had her first one @ 6:30 am. She was soo quiet too. We had her in bed with us and my fiance woke up and said, "sassy keeps kicking me". I looked and sure enough she was pushing her pups into her birth canal. She had one about 30-45 mins later. My chocolate lab had her pups @ 2 am.

Im in pacific time...it's 12:25 pm here. 3 hrs before Eastern Time.

I was thinking it would be around midnight also. Just b/c of what Ive heard on here, how they like to wait until you get ready to go to bed before they start. LOL...

Maybe it's because that's when their body is the most relaxed? hmmm...I wonder.

This is such a neat thread - to see everybody supporting you and reaching out and giving GREAT advice.

bdbmamaw · 05-29-2007, 11:47 AM

Not always true though... both my moms had their pups starting at 7:00 pm. Maybe because I threatened to whoop their little hinnies if they woke me up...

Just jokin'... But I did so appreciate them being timely about it.
