Hi
More stories than advice. experiences of first stage labour length, bitches behaviour.
I know she in first stage labour. she off her food, pacing,panting,digging, licking and then she'll settle for a bit after shes looked at me like ha gotcha.
We've been up most the night (Well me) she alternated from pacing and panting to sleeping. np digging during the night
I had a couple of hours at 6 this morning when it looked like we'd be at this for a while yet.
Out of 8:30 this morning to do her business then back to her whelping box. she'd had been digging a little. while i'd been asleep one
corner was scrunched up.
We settled back down nodded back of for another few hours. woke up to her panting down my ear she'd been digging more.
once she knew i was awake she tottled of back to her box. and went back to the pacing and panting and licking every now and then for an hour. then fell asleep.
shes just had a right good dig at her bed. first time ive actually seen her do it. shes lay back down and is now panting away again.

I have had from 0 - 36 hours.

Shes Started about 20 past. So we have 1 girl atm.
