hi all my bitch is just over 6 weeks and has showed alot of signs she is due to go into labour shivering,nesting and not eating but she has been doing this for over 24 hours and has no signs of the labour is this normal?

i think it is normal but if ur not sure take her to the vets for your on peace of mind

You do have to be careful with the shivering Sophie did this and I rushed her to the vets as she was really lacking calcium (which is very serious).

i think the shivering is because she was abit cold put and blanket on her she seems fine now but im keeping my eye on her

At 6 weeks in whelp the pups would be absorbed or aborted, to early to survive.

Be very careful in case it is a lack of calcium, I have know two people loose their bitches to this as pre-eclampsia is nto that common.

Is there any swelling in the legs or signs of water retention, as these can be signs.  Both the cases I knew of the bitches just dropped down dead while heavily pregnant, but not this early in pregnancy, nearer the due dates.

In one case the daughter of one of the bitches was showing similar signs in her pregnancy and was saved by quick intervention.

she has no swelling i have rung the vets they said to keep an eye on her if it carrys on to take her over

personally I would not risk it I would have her checked out anyway..

Me too, visit to the vet to put my mind at rest !

Agree - vet visit pronto if she was mine.  No way should a bitch have these signs 6 weeks into pregnancy.

While pups won't be viable, your girl does need checking out.

I would be extremely woried about these signs, they are not normal at all.
