hi,i would like to know my bitch is on day 56 and has for the past 2 days had a clear/milkiy jelly type discharge is this normal?this is the first litter i have let her have.also how oftern should i be able to see the puppies move?when i had bonnie scaned they said she had more than 6 pups so couldnt tell me how many just that she'd a belly full,so i thought i would be able to see them move quite alot by now.
any help will be taken on board.thankyou.
anna

it is quite normal for this discharge a few days before she whelps, as my vet told they are just getting ready, as long as the discharge is not green and it smell, then this is normal. if she is fine then the pups should be fine.
hope this helps

thankyou for your reply. bonnie is doing well and eating again now(went off food last week)

she sounds as if she is just getting ready

all the best with the new arrivals when they come

thanks will keep you posted.
bonnie still eating very well,not panting but breathing seems to be alittle faster.

think we(well bonnie) may be in early stages.shes restless digging and panting.
this is our first time and was wondering if anyone else with a springer knows how long this normaly lasts before we get a pup.
i know all bitches are diffrent just to get an idea.bonnies breeder says they are normaly quick.at moment digging anywhere except in her box.
thanks

sounds like your on the way -------- theres no excact time, could be hours, could be tommorow :D good luck,

thanks i was thinking it would be more like tomorrow.
