alotanewfs Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 If you end up heading to the vet tomorrow, you could ask for a progesterone test to see what her level is, below a certain number and pups should have arrived and they can do a c-section. If not dropped low enough, you can ease your worries that she is just not ready yet. Hoping the vet trip won't be needed and she whelps soon!

ellz Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Did I recall you saying she is dilated? I would be concerned about that if there were no action soon. An open cervix can be a super-highway for bugs. Remember too that bitches who are carrying a large (or small) litter are often quite unable to go into labour naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon Pearl - my workmates think I'm mad because I keep telling them that I check this thread first thing in the morning and first thing when I get home from work... and sometimes before I go to bed - for good measure... T. Hi all of Pearls fans...'Thankyou for all your support, Im sure Pearl appreciates it. I sure do. I took her to the vet today again! He is happy with her and apparently her vulva has odema ( sounds painful dosnt it) and the other vet may have made a mistake about the dilation due to this. Who knows... Anyway he said she is well and no sign of anything to be concerned about. So we keep waiting, according to measurements of the ultrasound she is 62 days today. So she has a day or 2 to get going yet. She is bright as a button tonight. I am beginning to think she is enjoying all the attention and wants to make it last as long as she can! I will keep you posted and it looks like another night of checking in on Pearl in the wee small hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozstar Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 A good way to tell when she is close to labour is by checking her stools Normally a bitch will get black tar looking poos about 12 hours from labour. I have always used this as a good indications. Wishing you and pearl all the best. Leanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
