I couldn't let her go either knowing those puppies would be aborted, especially this far along.

Haha, I don't know if I have ever been so in love! He puts up with my crazy antics and I adore him.

Also, the feminist in me wants to clarify that when I said he "granted me a pass", that was a figure of speech - LOL. I would have made the same decision and totally pissed him off if I had to!

So glad things are working out well. I am happy for you People who are happy together generally try to 'give each other a pass" on the things that mean the most as long as their other half comes to them respectfully and asks to talk it over. I think that's really one of the secrets to a happy relationship and doesn't mean you've sacrificed your independence.

Fingers crossed for success from beginning to end with this one.

Just checking in... So glad mama dog is going anywhere. Tell Steven he has big fans on GRF! I'm guessing you have your hands full right now. Will keep checking for puppy results!

I'm so glad to hear about the safety of the pups! I have no experience myself with breeding, but wish you luck in the birthing process (And momma too!!). Let pray that everything goes smoothly with no complications! Hurry up puppies!

 

[GoldenMum]

Sending thoughts and wishes for an uneventful whelping! Tell Steven, everyone here sends him sloppy wet ones

Update?? So glad to hear your SO is on board! Poor momma dog. If she doesnt have them tomorrow can your SO bring her to work for an xray to see how many pups and if they are in the right direction? Good luck!and my offer still stands! Even though I am sure your SO will say probably the same thing as me being a fellow vet tech!

No puppies yet. Momma is full of energy today - wants to play ball! Her temperature has been all over the map so I don't think that it is a good indication of labor for her. She was down to 97.6 last night and still no babies.

I wonder if this is normal. Can you call a vet or have your SO talk to their vet about this? Praying for puppies to be safely delivered and be healthy.

That makes me concerned as well. I would definitely talk to a vet.
Also, if she is a bulldog mix, I do hope she won't have any complications giving birth. She does not look like she has an extremely wide, big head. Those breeds often have problems getting the pups delivered because of the heads. But, of course you have no idea what the pups would be mixed with.
Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed for a smooth delivery and healthy mom and pups.

She has been very active today but is sleeping now. She ate a few bites but then refused food. She drank a ton of water and she has been pooping and urinating as normal. I am getting anxious because I want to see the puppies so badly, but I think that it will happen in due time.

The only thing I am wondering... she loves being outside but doesn't like being indoors. I am wondering if she is holding out until she can have her puppies outside??? since that is what she is used to???

 

[Brave]

Does she have a whelping area? Something Den like that is quiet and dark?

I have no real world experience with this, so I'm just trying to remember things I've seen or heard about.

I highly recommend you call the rescue and a vet and coordinate so IF something happens you're prepared and ready to go.

I would definitely talk to a vet and ask. Better to be safe than sorry!

Hurry up Momma! I want to see pics of these puppies!!!

 

[ashleylp]

We are headed to the vet first thing tomorrow if she hasn't had the puppies. I spoke with Steven's vet earlier and they don't seem concerned yet. Hopefully they will come out. She does have a den but wants to be by me all of the time. I am sure that it will happen when it is supposed to -- the hardest part is not knowing how far she is along!

 

[OnMyWay2MyDreams]

I think getting seen and possibly doing an xray will be helpful. It is so hard not knowing how far along she truly is. Those temps are pre-labor type temps.. I am surprised she hasnt started labor as it has been 24 hours. Keep her as "stress-free" as possible. Poor girl..her whole world changed and she is pregnant. :crossfing that everything happens when it is suppose to and goes smoothly. Keep us updated! You are awesome for doing all this!

It must be very comforting to her that you are there for her to stay near. Poor little bereft dog... Sending good thoughts for a successful whelping...

 

[robinrd]

I hope everything goes well for her and her babies. Will be waiting to hear the news.

I read this whole thread just now, and am so in awe of the goodness shown to this little mommadog. Ashley, you are amazing. Having just been through a first batch of pups, I think Nutrical for mom and babies, amoxydrops, and Bene bac were the three things we truly needed most.

Fingers crossed for a good day for you all.
