ellz Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Could still be 24 hours for us....but she has just done a revolting poo and squatted about 60 times with nothing coming out, so she's definitely feeling "something". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellz Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Nothing to report from here I'm afraid. I've just finished telling her that if she hasn't done anything by Tuesday, she is going to the vet. Hopefully that will help her decide to get moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whipitgood Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 No nothing going on here either!! Lots of puffing, unsettled intermittently, but thats it! I am hoping she will wake me up tonight ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Still nothing. Very unsettled night though. Puppies are still bumping and grinding around so I'm not too concerned on that front. I'm going to ring the vet today and make an appointment for tomorrow. If all else fails, we can have a section at a civilised hour and not get charged after hours fees! Edited because my eyelids are glued together. Puppy watch is almost as bad as foal watch. Edited October 25, 2009 by ellz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I just don't think the pair of you have gone without enough sleep deprivation yet Am sure most bitches wait until your eyes are crossing from lack of sleep before they start to push them out I am normally feeling like a zombie and then they start. Hope all goes well with the impending births Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you worried she'll need a c-section? Not entirely but I'd rather have her booked in just in case, then it'll be a daytime thing and save me a motzer on after hours fees. She's just not doing as much as I would hope. This is the third time her temp has dipped. She's not at all keen on eating. She's been nesting off and on since last week. The puppies don't seem to have moved very far back or "dropped" like I'd say that they should. And if she only has a couple on board, there may not be enough hormone present to trigger labour of course and I really don't think she has more than a couple. On the brighter side, the puppies are still active and she's still happy and bright within herself. I'd just feel better if I spoke to the vet, ran my dates and times and numbers past them and got their opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mersonmalinois Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Ellz & Whipitgood, Positive puppy vibes are coming to you both from Texas. I hope to read about healthy bubs soon. Hugs to you both. Susie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Temp is still 36.9. She just went outside and did the most revolting coloured sticky poo. Came inside happily, took herself into the Puppy Palace, rearranged her newspaper a bit and is now laying down having another snooze! *sigh* Edited October 26, 2009 by ellz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Just spoke to the vet. She has until mid-morning tomorrow to do something constructive. If she isn't showing signs of whelping, she has to go in for at the very least a check over. If she is dilating, it might be as simple as a shot of oxy to get her moving. If not, it'll be a section. I have to go out now to check the mail and get some milk and the newspaper so I'm going to take her with me and maybe the movement of the car will stir things up a bit.

I keep telling myself it's the "calm before the storm" phase where everything rests in preparation for what is to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Home again. She's panting a little bit, but that could be because it's quite warm outside. I'm not even going to think about her for the rest of the day. I also dropped into the bottle-o and bought myself a can of a little "something". If the fact that I have consumed alcohol doesn't make her start, nothing will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
