eschlachter Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Quick question- the last 24 hours Lei's tummy has been a lot more 'balloon' like, tighter rather than soft/malleable. Is that normal with 8 days to go? Feels like there's way more 'air' in there, than there was (along with wriggly puppy bodies).... Hmmm, Nova has been quite firm for a while now, which is just because it's so much puppy in there. I wouldn't be too concerned as long as they are still wriggling and Lei is happy and not showing signs of discomfort - but of course, if you're at all worried it's definitely worth checking with your vet - at this stage of pregnancy, no concern is an over-reaction, so they certainly shouldn't have a problem with you asking them :) Thanks Allerzeit. She seems pretty chirpy, as normal, but not as hungry as she has been- still eating something though. I figured it might just be something that happens as the pregnancy progresses but wasn't sure! It's a bit like she just needs to fart a few times and the pressure will be relieved lol :D I'll keep an eye on her, maybe call the vets tomorrow if she still feels a bit bloated. Might also walk her round the block tonight, it's been a few days since she had a good walk- preferring to relax at the moment and watch the other dogs run around for her! Walking might get the farts moving :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerzeit Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Well, that puts her in the normal whelping range - how's she acting? What do they say - puppies in around 24 hours after the drop and rise? That would put her tomorrow, which is only 2 days early, well within normal limits :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allerzeit Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I think they always wait until they've fooled us and given us a couple of pretty sleepless nights, just to make sure that our eyeballs are already hanging out before all the action and sleepless nights begin!

bel Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Good luck to all mothers due. Hope all goes well. I'm so sorry to read indigirl about nynx. Hope she recovers well. Miss Beth's babies are 9 days old and growing really well. We still don't know what's wrong with Beth but she's eating and drinking well is quite happy within herself now. Blood test reveled her kidney enzymes are high. Vet is unsure if what's going on is related to the c-sec or pregnancy/lactation so we are waiting til the babies are weaned and will repeat the blood tests again unless she becomes sick in the mean time.

Allerzeit Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Would love to see some photos, if you felt like sharing, bel :) Hopefully Beth's levels stabilise and normalise soon! Very concerning. How are you and Nyx doing indigirl? Yeah, TeamSnag - any movement at the station yet? Nova has the single most stable temperature I've ever seen - these have been her readings since I started: 16-Sep 37.7 37.1 17-Sept 37.0 37.1 37.3 18-Sept 37.2 37.2 37.1 19-Sept 37.1 37.1 At least I should get a good idea of the drop and raise, with temps that stable! Apart from that, she's just normal - getting slower, but still eating. She's as wide as she is deep, and hasn't dropped yet - but she's not due until next Tuesday :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
