My bitch is now on the 67th day of her pregnancy.
She is not distressed, no drop in temperatuer, she is eating, and would appear perfectly well.
However, she has been both x-rayed and scanned, – two different answers from 2 different vets. One says the puppies were small without skeletons (at 7.5 weeks of pregnancy), the other said nothing abnormal (63 days of pregnancy).
I’m worried sick!
Please advise what I should do if labour does not start.
Thanks,
Kris
take her to the vets she may need help whelping, good luck.
hi my lab is pregnant been trying to look for facts on litter sizes as have not been through it dont know how many to expect
so was wondering if you would have an idea on the average size of a lab litter
my dachshund bitch always goes to her 70 th day with no adverse affects. I also used to breed german shepherd dogs and one of those went to her 72 nd day and produced 14 live puppies, all of which I reared.If nothing is amiss then leave nature to it self,she will whelp when she is ready
Hi, i have a female blue pitbull who is pregnant, she was first bred on May 22. it is June 3rd but her nipples are bigger then normal and are starting to turn pink. She was bred early i wasn’t expecting her heat to come when it did i thought she had it at 6 months but she is now 9 months. Any advice on this would be greatly apreciated, this is and will be my first litter… plz help in any way possible
I have a dog in heat and my Male ended up getting her by mistake and I want to know if their heat cycle stops if they are pregnant or will the cycle finish? Also, are the number of pups by how many times they breed during a heat cycle? Any advice, appreciated.
