need help how long does labor usually go before 1st pup. my girl is 60 days today. She started breathing hard, digging & crying since midnight. Is she in labor? I'm waiting for vet to open so i can call how can i tell if she's in trouble?:( thank you |
Usually heavy breathing is one of the first signs of labor, you may even see a funny color dischsrge, but don't freak that's normal too. Call the vet just to ease your mind, but it sounds like eveythings going ok. |
thanks vet gets in @ 9:30 today i'm waiting for call back. she seems to be getting stronger contractions now. Just wondering how long this goes for? labor stages |
I would say yes she is in labor. Stage 1 can last from 6-24 hrs. My mom's temp drops to 97-98 and then I know it's time. ( not always the case ) When to call a vet 30-60 minutes of active straining without birth of a puppy 4 hrs between births with more pups expected 2 hrs of weak ineffectual labor without the birth of a pup passing dark green or bloody fluid before the birth of the first pup I'm glad you called the vet to give them a heads up. You can also google stages of labor in dogs and get more info. good luck:) |
my girls are normally in the 1st stage for about 18 hrs good luck to you |
Thanks everyone, we had first pup @ 10:00 am next pup 10:45 last one @ 11:48 Total 3 there was not 4 after all. Everything went well except for first pup was feet first and head was stuck for awhile. I freaked out and pm'd yorkierose. She was God sent I don't think I could have done this without her. She guided me and I pulled first pup out. The other two she pushed out on her own. I've been reading books and researching on different websites. For about 5 yrs now. I still don't feel like I was ready to do this alone - Once again THANK YOU!!! Yorkierose:D :D :D :hug: :kiss3: She is doing great resting with pups right now and all pups are sucking on their own:thumbup: |
Yeah their here. Congratulations:thumbup: |
Congrats on the new litter. So happy everything turned out well. It doesn't matter how much you know or read when it happens for the first time it always freaks you out. It was so nice of yorkierose to help. I have read many times where she has helped others out. Very thoughtful. Can't wait to see pictures. We are due with 2 litters in the next week or so. Can't wait!!! |
Congrats on the new pups.....aren't they just the sweetest when they're newborn? |
:D They are the sweetest and I'm just so proud of my bebe she is such a good mommy. I was a little concerned because she is very very spoiled LOL. I wasn't sure if she would care for pups properly. She's my shadow and usually won't leave my side. But she's only gotten out of whelping box to eat and pee then she goes right back in with pups :D :D :D She hasn't tried to walk around the house. Whelping box is in my room and she's been there since she had pups. Should I let her walk around the house? will she know to go back to pups in my room? |
litter I am so glad all is well...New Yorkie Babies!!!!!! Anyone can call me any time with a whelping problem, I will try my best to figure it out...(day or night). I wish all phones had TV screens. It would be ideal if the Yorkie bitch herself had the ability to talk, most are calmer then the owner, me included..but fortunately, puppies all come from the same place, either heads or tails..LOL |
Congrats on your new babies!!!!! And YAY!!!!! YorkieRose!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: |
