Easy.  Just in case you need a vet, making sure it costs an arm and a leg!!  :-)  :-)  :-)

have a coffee. its a vaso constrictor- can help cause migraines but when you are actually having one can help with the pain. weird huh?

try and sleep a bit, can anyone else watch her?

Tracy

hi tracy nothing happend in the night ,she sleeped like a baby ..her is 37 so im still waiting for more drop ...tomorrow for us both :) xx

joanne

shes been sick again , im going to nip her to the vets at 11 just for a check up ..do you think im wise doing this because of other poorly dogs and cats being there ??? she not eat
or drink again !! but theres no other signs that she going to welp :( ....

she just looks so sad and depressed ..

been to the vets he says shes ok , and not be long 24/48h im just worried about her not drinking :( any tips plz xx

aww bless her try giving her warm watered down evaporated milk

hope pups arrive soon i,ll keep watch x

vet said not to give her any puppy milk so will evaporated be ok ? ive never had to give any kind of milk before whelp before xx

i dont give puppy milk and mine have be ok on evaporated. my girl still has it now while pups are feeding from her

try giving it to her to get het to start drinking to help bring more milk in ready for when the pups arrive

think its the creamyness they like but make it half milk and half water

thanks hun im going to go and get some now :) xx

your welcome x

also if you have to hand rear any pups i use the same method i dont use puppy milk x

totally agree with evaporated milk, it will really help the milk afterwards too.  my girls will always drink loads more when I put evap in their water, so helping lactation.

her temp as dropped now its 36.8 and shes stuck to me like glue .Shes just been out and her poos like water :( ..mum-in-law has some for me but i carnt leave her ,im on my own till oh gets back in 2h , not to worried about her milk she as loads its starting to come out on its own ..i just wish she have a drink , xx
her tum is making so many noises she must be starveing :( xx

any time now, keep us posted!!!!!!

Woooo!!  Sounds like you're not going to get sleep tonight!  :-)   Good Luck!

dont worry i will ..her nose is warm and dry :( i wish i could do this for her !!
xx

when i went to bed last night i just knew it was my last good nights sleep lol :) xx

early hours of the night im thinking ?? and i think 6/7 even tho vet scaned 4 ..i carnt put her breed but she weighs 36kg and was 29.70 last time she was weighed :)

you could try putting a little bit of sugar in her water and dab your finger in it and show her it till you can get some evaporated milk

my pups are 9 days now and gaining weight nicely with mum drinking the evaparated milk they are just over a pound each (small breed)

i quess she will start later if shes got runny poos 

got some evaporated milk
mum-in-law just been for me :):) ...shes had a small amount :) anything better then nothing :) thanks for that ...shes just been out again ..surly there carnt be anymore poo to come out now :( (sorry ) lol

aww bless small is better than nothing she may take more later

yeah its make you wonder were it all comes from lol

Hi nothing happening yet :( but her temp is now 36.5 and has been for the last 4h :)

AT NIGHT! Because they are naturally nocturnal and we make them abide by our times?? ;-)

Because there are fewer predators about at night, so whelping is safer?

Shall we start a poll??!! :-) Personally I'm of the opinion that they just like being difficult...the same way as they are always norty...'just to rack us off'...ermm I'm kidding of course, have to say that otherwise the forum police will think I mean it! ;-)

It's probably the same as they always injure themselves just after the vet has closed for the weekend (or on a Bank Holiday) to make the visit even more expensive!

:-o :-)

Ladies most often produce their babies in the wee small hours too so we must not hold it against the little creatures too much :-)

fingers crossed hun x x x

thanku pippaj :):) xx
