paulus 26 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 she could be carrying them up under her ribs another 5 days or so and they should drop and theres a good chance you will be able to see and feel them moving Quote Link to post
silentrunner2011 218 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 the day she tied... id say theres a big diffrence but dnt think shes that big if shes carrying pups with 9 days left? Quote Link to post
silentrunner2011 218 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 3 days ago her temp was 100.55F and today shes 100.22F...normal temp is 101.5F so her temp is droping...? but she just doesnt look big enough??? Quote Link to post
MoChara 1,632 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 All the signs seem to be there - if her temp drops dramatically expect her to go into labour within 24hrs Like Paulus said even though she's not huge - the pups are most likely under the ribs.. Best of luck if/when she has her litter Quote Link to post
collie/grey 238 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Looks like it's had pups all it's life going by the baggage she was carrying before she was pregnant if it is! Quote Link to post

Millet 4,497 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 That is not some kind of infection in the mammary is it..or that teat could be producing too much milk..i have had similar the bitch was producing too much milk in one side and her mammary was hard too touch...after a visit to the vet's i had to milk the bitch by hand like you would a cow to relieve the pressure..probaly nothing like that but i thought i would mention it anyway..
