Hi, I have a border terrier bitch who is on day 64! I did not get any sleep last night as she was pacing the room, whining & digging at my washing basket (she's not too keen on her whelping box!).
Anyway she expelled a little clear fluid from the vulva on Saturday & since then has shown indications of pre-labour...
Also yesterday & today she has has quite a bit more clear fluid!
She had been very restless, but now appears to be sleeping alot! I took her to the vets this morning just to get her checked & the vet took her temp (which has dropped) & checked for milk (which there was none!). However I have just checked her nipples now & there is a little milk!
How far from whelping do you think she is?. My vet seems to think it could be another 48 hours yet, I hope not as I'm concerned that she isn't eating a great deal (I know that this is normal, but when it's your own bitch that isn't eating it can be quite worrying!).
Anyway thanks for any ideas.... Sally x.
