OSoSwift Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Oh no Becks fingers crossed all goes well and she has healthy babies at the correct time. All fingers, toes and paws crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm told her previous litters have been 2 or 3 days early (but then she had always stood much later in her season then this time, so it hasn't started off as normal for her) so hopefully she will hold on a few more days. She's a quiet girl at the best of times, so it isn't easy to tell if she is quieter then normal. atm she is curled up on the sofa after wolfing her breakfast. The noob vet didn't say what is was, just that it wasn't a good sign. He said if the pups heart beats were above 270 then it would have been a c-section that day, even if they were to early to be viable. I've been lucky to have pretty straight forward pregnancies and only one problem at whelping time, so of course now I have an import bitch mated to a dog I can't use again things are not going as easily! I'm stressed enough already with a few other things, including one of my giants who now lives with a family member, has now gone into liver failure. I could use a strong drink, but of course, can't do that incase it's another vet trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missymoo Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Actually same as yours, she seems bigger and more uncomfortable this time and I don't want to add to it...I will just have to be patient as the X-ray was really only for me I think!!

Ptolomy Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 OK I am starting to fuss - My whelping box is BIG 1.50m x 1.30m and I am thinking this weekend I might make a date with the circular saw and cut it down a bit. Anybody happy to share the size of their whelping box, the sort of dogs you have and if you are happy with the size or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aziah Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I have 1.1m x 1.1m and the other 1m x 1m - I have Pembrokes and I'd not like a box any smaller than the two I have (the 1.1m I rarely use now but only because I prefer the build of the 1m). I think if I had Tollers then I'd wouldn't have my box any larger than 1.2m? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody happy to share the size of their whelping box, the sort of dogs you have and if you are happy with the size or not. My minis have a box about 1m square. I think size depends on how you want to use the box later on when the pups are mobile and how big a play area you want to attach to it or if you are going to have them in something else.

Ptolomy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thanks Aaziah and Becks. I attacked the whelping box last night, What should have been an hour job took me many hours and a trip to Bunnings and it still isn't finished, have to attach the inside rails, but I am happier with it. Think its 120 x 120 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
