Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / Very sleepy mum to be.
- By Lynneb [gb] Date 16.05.14 19:55 UTC
My girl (first litter) is on day 59. She has stopped eating, has has a slight mucous discharge and has had runny poos today. She has been sleeping  almost non stop. Puppies active but am a bit concerned about the sleeping. Her mum has always delivered early so am expecting her to do the same. Anyone else experienced sleepy mums to be?

Sounds to me that she knows that she is going to be working very hard soon.  Personally I would think she is being a sensible girl.  And runny poos sounds as if she is clearing out ready.  Unless I suspected that she was ill, I don't think that I would be too concerned.  I assume that the mucous is normal and no bad smell.

Thanks for your replies. First girl in my experience that this has happened. Checked by the vet on Weds last week and no problems. As an experienced breeder you would think that I would know better.

Same here White Lily, my vet thinks I am paranoid. Fine today, she has had some chicken and rice and much more settled.

Everything is fine, she delivered 5 healthy pups on day 62, textbook delivery and is the perfect mum :)
