terriermaid 3 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) my terriers never let a thing like pregnacy slow them down,they usually enjoy there daily walks ,right up till the end ,unless your really worried about a change in her condition ,i wouldnt worry,they seem to self regulate ,and slow down as they need to Edited November 2, 2007 by terriermaid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tyson 1 Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 shes walked on the lead for 15 minutes at a time 2/3 times a day , but never let off to run around especially after rabbits at her stage in pregnancy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I wouldn't worry about her unless she appears not right. I let mine go bushing right up until a couple of weeks before whelping: the fitter they are when they whelp the easier they have the pups. They usually decide when to take it easy, though obviously I don't take them where they're likely to run into anything more than a rabbit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Am the same the fitter the bitch the easier the pups should pop out and the less tired the bitch will be to push..just keep an eye on her back end for any discharge/blood Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tyson 1 Posted November 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 thanks everyone i was just being over-reactive after she took off , as some of you may know ive had a bit of bad luck with dogs this year so im being extra extra careful with this one. shes nice and big and showing milk already still nearly 3 weeks to go so hopefully a bellyfull of pups 8 would be ideal as i can keep everyone happy thats asked for one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
