Hi my dog is 69 days pregnant, my vet told me to wait untill tomorrow and if she hasnt had pups bring her in so he can start her off, but im really worried already, so what im asking is will it be safe for me to wait untill tomorrow?
and has anyone else had a dog give birth this late?
also is there any way i could give her something or do something to help start her off?
Thanks so much everyone

A lot would depend on what is usual for the breed (some breeds tend to whelp early or late) how she is in herself. 

Is she already digging (which is what they do in first stage labour) and failing to move to second stage.  If that is the case then I would be at the Vets within 24 hours of first signs. 

On the other hand if bitch is happily though awkwardly doing her thing, pups are moving about then pups can take up to a week, especially with multiple matings. 

How many days since the last mating.

it is 64 days since her last mating and 69 since her fist, she is nesting yes, but she has not been panting or anything, its very confusing and worrying, she is a Wire haired Fox Terrier, thankyou for replying, very apprieciated.

How long has she been scratching up her bedding, and has she taken to her bed as such, though I have had bitches obviously in labour that have refused to go into the whelping box until the water bag arrives and I MADE THEM.  

My Lexi was distressed over what was happening and wanted to stay in the kitchen with her Mum, grandma for reassurance, so I watched her carefully but unobtrusively.  the pups came fast when they came one after the other and she was overwhelmed and wanted to get away from them until she had almost finished whelping, when after a little sleep with me plugging pups on her she finally relaxed and went into mothering mode, she was quite the martyr to them until they were around 4 weeks old.

She has been nesting for about three days not very much though, about 2 mins three times a day, she really doesnt like her whelping box, and i introduced her to it 2 weeks ago, she prefers laying under my bed, trying to nest in my carpet!
When i take her out she keeps squatting as if she is urinating but she does it so much she often has nothing coming out, is this also a sign?
Also how far should i put the thermomenter in, i have an electric human one, on the instructions it says 1/2 inch which makes her temp 36.9 but i know the instructions are for humans, but on the dog breeding sites it says 2 inch which makes her temp 37.4, i dont really know which one to go on?

I would go on the dog instructions.

The squatting and nothing produced is just like for us the pressure on the bladder and bowel makes them think they need to Poo. 

Personally I would want the vet to check her and see if she is in labour.

Just thought I'd mention, I have a terrier breed and they don't seem to do the scratching of the bed, panting etc that you would expect - at least mine haven't ;)   Bedlies in general are very stoical. 

They do pant afterwards tho, when the pups are suckling and while the womb is contracting down again.

I look for loose motions and a clingy, uncomfortable bitch, then I know we're likely to 'go' that day, but the first obvious sign is when the bitch starts to have real contractions

Don't know if this is typical of all terriers tho ? 

With Brainless on this, if in doubt get her checked by the vet ;)

> When i take her out she keeps squatting as if she is urinating but she does it so much she often has nothing coming out

Had a girl last year doing exactly the same.  As it happens she needed a C-section (not saying that your girl does.)  But after the op, the vet said "I'm not surprised she was doing it, her bladder was as full as can be, and was squashed, she must have been so uncomfortable."

To Dill - mine have scratched when in labour, but it is a habit of theirs anyway, so not sure about the "terrier" thing. I know that when giving birth it is a good thing they are so stoical, but its a real pain if they are ill or injured as its difficult to know just how much pain they actally have, isnt it?

Fillis that's so true, I've been told a Bedlington in working mode could break a leg and not even slow down!
