Update, temp 36.7, we are there!

She is restless but not a lot happening. Just off loaded my 6 year old son for the night, dont want to freak him out!!!

good luck to you & your girl, have been following this post.
Will check in later. Fingers crossed

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh (very excited noise!!) - can't wait!! :) :) :)

crazy digging going on and moving from her bed to whelping box. Lots of panting and staring. She is trying to sleep but its not really happening.
So here we go....

Oh, and i suddenly have a pug with a straight tail, hilarious!

Just got video camera out to film her nesting behaviour. I bet thats the last time it gets to see the light of day today!!!!

Oooooh, how exciting, I can't wait for the good news and the patter of all those tiny puglet feet!!

Ahhh sounds like they are on their way definitely now!

Wont be long now, and I have to go to dog training tonight so I shall miss the updates :-( will look in as soon as I get back in, best of luck :-)

Forget the video camera I want a Pug cam so I can watch!!!Good luck.

Pug cam would be great but not sure when it all kicks off i would remember!

Just filmed her lying next to me and there is a very wriggly pup moving massivly in her belly, close to the surface. So clear i got it on video camera.

She is sleeping at the moment then goes through panting and scratching.......

Off to bathe dogs for Manchester show tomorrow, thank goodness for web 'n walk
on the mobile at least I'll be able to check in to see whats happening.

Good luck, hope all goes well.

Oh my god, how exciting!  Any news?  I expect you are very busy at the mo!

Any news yet?

Back from dog training, first thing I did was look in, hoping for some developments soon :-)

anything? im all in suspense now, cant wait to hear what happens!!

Hi

God this is terrifying!

She just wanted to go poop so took her out in the garden and she strained and strained and i was freaking in case a pup appeared but lots of mucus. She is getting quite frantic now so i think we are moving forward. I just saw a pup move and her bits moved at the back so they must be close.

The only thing is she wants to sit on my lap and i can feel activity going on, she cant give birth on me!!!

We are on our way, i will keep in touch.

Oh brilliant, gorgeous new babies soon, were all so excited for you :-)

Oh been following and very excited for you - good luck :)

keeping fingers crossed followed this from the start,
At manchester tomorrow so will catch up when i get back.

we're with you girls

Peppapug - my girl gave birth to a litter of ten pups sitting on my lap, I sat in the whelping box with her and every time a pup was about to be born she got on my lap and and thats where they were all born. PJ's and dressing gown went straight in the bin.
Good Luck hope all goes well.

Lynn

Good luck for the rest of the night.....will certainly be thinking of you.

Karen :)

Good luck looks like you have a busy night ahead. Hope all goes well for you and your girlie.

Well I'm off to bed, will hope to see good news tomorrow :-)

she seems not to be progressing from stage 1. The puppies are going mad inside and she just keeps on panting and resting.

Gonna try and get my head down but this being the 4th night of sleeping with her i am so tired i am afraid i might sleep through it!!!!

Love her she has been trembling and looking so worried

If she is trembling and looking worried, just consider the possibilty of inertia.  I don't think you can afford to get your head down!!

no i had thought of that but she seems quite relaxed and as for sleeping, not a chance! Unlike her who seems to be sleeping through, apart from her fast breathing and the odd move from whelping box to sofa and back again, taking it in her stride.

She is a pug so her face tends to look a tad worried!!!

Glad people are still out there.....

It's a difficult time for anyone who cares, and I think you'll find that quite a few are rooting for you!!  It's like walking a tightrope isn't it?!!!!

Have to say that if the pups are moving around as much as you are saying I wouldn't be expecting them to be born yet.  They always seem to go still before they are born in my experience or should I say you can't really see them moving about.

Good grief...I think we need to ban all puppy and whelping talk on here till after the event!! It's killing us all!

They take you to beyond and back! I have found stage 1 can last 48 hours...even longer! I too, wouldn't expect imminent delivery until the pups settle...at the moment they're all jockeying for numero uno position!

Good luck, we're all thinking of you!

How long should i let her sleep with heavy breathing and intermittent nesting and restlessness? We have been going since 4pm and still no contractions.

She is not typical for enertia but equally dont want to go too long and put her at risk.

Her tummy is hard and tense.

I'm afraid I am not experienced enough for your Breed to advise you...hopefully someone else can??? I've never had a litter with inertia and I pray to God I never do, I get frantic enough as it is! Luckily I have always had help on the end of a phone that are sensible enough to stop me panicking! Sorry!

The staring is usually the sign they are on their way.

Did you continue taking her temp,  this is m valuable tool. Did you get a good drop at some point?

Re the digging, I find the do all the digging etc then they have a deep deep sleep , then the puppies start to arrive.

Good luck , I am sure if you have any doubt you'll ring the vet.

You should have had your sleep a over the last few days, now you will be knackered..

Any news?

Hi, just back from the vets. 14 hours later she is exhausted and panting still but no contractions. She has had a scan and an oxytocin injection and if no contractions or production by 10.30am then csection.

She is heavily panting now and keeps wanting to go outside to poop but it is diarreah now and no volume cause she hasnt eaten for 24 hours.

i think we both just want to see the pups the vet just saw looking so healthy on the scan. I was glad he didnt go straight to section however i read oxytocin shouldnt be administered until at least one puppy had been born. Any views?

A very tired,

Me x

Hi ya, one of mine had oxytocin before the first one and it helped to open her up and the first one popped out shortly after that, you and she must be soooo tired now.

You must both be exhausted. Hope things happen soon :)

yeh its been a long night but there is a lot to be said for adrenalin!

She has just put herself back on the sofa and gone to sleep. the vet was worried we wouldnt make it home before the first one!

With luck it'll all happen pretty soon now but if not she will be fine with a ceasar, the girls seem to get over the op remarkably quickly, will keep looking in to see how things are going.

Thanks Papillon, you have been a real support.....as has this board!!! x

Were all rooting for you and the mum, it'll all be worth it very soon :-)

Oxytocin is safe to give before a puppy is born, as long as the bitch is fully dilated.

Good luck!

Julie

just read through this, hopefully soon!

Ooh how exciting.  Hope she presents you with pups soon :)

x

Well by my watch the little girl will be having a c section now unless OP is tied up delivering babies! Hope we get some news soon!

Hoping and praying for you that all is well. Looking forward to news later. ((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))

awww hope things are going ok

wish i had not read this therd.
now im on teanderhooks with the rest of you.
Hope all goes well for your girl.
fingers crossed its today as i cant take much more!!!!lol.

Had to look as soon as I got back in, really hoping all is ok.

I have not slept for days looking at this, Im think we are all going through this with you!! Keep us updated on progress  {{{{{{{{o}}}}}}}}}} Big hugs for you all!!

Any news? I'm off home in half an hour, thought we hear 2day :(
