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
