Right so im now tearing my hair out!!! My bitch was mated on the 4th and 6th August so today is 64 from first mating and 62 from 2nd. She had her last litter 63 days from first mating. Have taken her temp this morning and it is 37.5 (99.5)... how long do i let her go before I take her to the vets, she is ok in herself eating and sleeping... pups are still moving around and can feel small movements from them... Help
What is usual in her breed, do bitches tend to go to 63 days an over. did you blood test for ovulation, if not then ti could be she didn't take for several days.
Going over 63 days can be OK for medium to large breeds but a no no in many toy breeds, or those who often have more difficulty whelping.
In answer to all of your questions!! Yes she was pre-mate tested! Puppies arrived safely after a 34 hour labour... she had 15 mins before she was due to go back to the vet for a c-section and she produced her first puppy. We have 2 gorgeous boys!
