Breeding Questions & Information / New here...need some input on pregnant dog...
« on: November 11, 2007, 02:20:25 am »
Hello All...Im new here and have a question.
I have acquired a 7 year old Am Staff female, who was bred prior to me attaining her. Her due date was yesterday, according to the previous owners. A few days ago I noticed her nesting and doing the typical pre labor behavior. The other owners also stated she had the last 2 litters on day 61. Yesterday and today her temp has been a steady 100.5 with no change. No more nesting, no labor like behavior. She also has milk that can be expressed, and we can feel the pups moving. I guess Im just frustrated because the answer the previous owners give me is "she'll have them when she haves them" which is true and I understand that. But at the same time since I didnt breed her I wonder if they calculated the due date correctly. They said they wrote it down, etc etc...and its been 20 years since I have dealt with a pregnant dog. Maybe Im just overreating, but I wish there was some sign of closeness to "the time" happening. I guess my concern is its supposedly day 64 today and they (the prev owners) have been adamant she delivers on the 61. I guess Im just worried.
