litter
 

I hope her stools are better..did the vet give her soem meds?

She will have them when she is ready...we do not want a dog to whelp early, we want them to come when they are fully "cooked"..best wishes

No sign of the stork.....
 

Sorry guys, nothing yet. Twinks is sleeping peacefully on the floor next to my chair (so is Ollie). Her temp was 100.4 this morning. No discharge from vulva, no panting, nothing! I called my Vet's office and no one is really worried, so I am giving her until Sunday evening (when Twink's Dr. is on call at 6pm) and if no pups by then, we will go in for a check up.

I have attached some picture of my little pot-bellied pig. :camera: Enjoy!

Thinking of you and hoping for some news on Twinkles and puppies.....

Ho Hum
 

Time passes so slowly when you are waiting for yorkie puppies......

Temp was 99.4 last night and again this morning. Twinks had another bour of loose stools last night - this time is was dark brown... just seemed to ooze out of her with no control on her part. Poor thing was so embarrassed. I finally gave her a bottom wash in the sink out of desparation and cut a hole in one of my grandson's diapers for her tail and put that on her when we went to bed. She kept in one most of the night. I felt like I was sleeping on a giant pee pad........ lol

2:15 pm

Didn't get this sent off this morning.... Twinkles has been digging in her bed in the living room he has also been hiding under the ottaman today, which she has never done before. She is eating small amounts of scrambled egg. She was on her way to the pee pad and couldn't make it... pee'd on the rug. Poor thing was so embarrased. I am afraid to think she may be going into labor, as we have had so many false starts.... so I will just watch and wait. The funny thing is, Ollie is digging everywhere, too. He digs in the whelping box, digs in her bed and in his bed too. Does the daddy know what's going on? He seems to be very gentle with her the past two days, where he is usually very rough and tumble.

More later...
Hopeful Grammy....:xfingers:

looks like it is going to be today or tonight. good luck

I have been watching this thread, poor baby cant control her bladder. It shouldnt be to much longer now. I would keep the male away from her when she goes in labor, They are know to smell the afterbirth and try and eat the puppys. I have seen this happen before. Please be careful. Im sure he knows shes not feeling well an dthat something is up. sounds like a real sweet heart.

OT but we use to have a little Pekinese that never had a heat. when our cat had kittens she wanted those babys so bad to be her own, she would go lay with them all the time and clean them, Then she would let them nurse off her, The thing is after that she didnt want the momma cat to come around her babys, so we had to keep the babys from her until they was older, She loved those babys.

Lynn,
I am attaching the two photos of right before Lexie gave birth to 7 puppies in July. We have another female, Davie, and a male, Harley, the father of the litter. While Lexie was laboring, she wanted to be near Harley and Davie, so I finally put a towel on the sofa and Harley first took her two of his toys, then Davie jumped up and layed right next to her. They were together until I saw that the first puppy was in the birth canal and I put Lex in the Whelping pen. Davie and Harley stayed up on the sofa that was in the same room for the entire birth. For the first 3 weeks Lex didn't like the two in the pen with her new babies, but now that they are 4+ weeks, and being weaned, all three seem to be training and playing with the puppies. We just love watching the interaction of the 10 of them together. I am going to miss these little stinkers!!!
