hi im new to this site,been readin it 4 a few weeks now, i have a dog who is i think 61 days in whelp she has had bloodshot eyes for 3 days now, also not eaten much food can anyone PLEASE give me advice

I would see a vet, if it was a human I would be worrying about high blood pressure but really don't know with dogs.

thanks very much for your advice do you think,she could be goin into labour

Well its not an indication of labour in any bitch I have seen, perhaps another poster may have had a similar experience, but if it was me I would be giving my vet a phone at least.

will do 2moz, much appreciated

From personal experience it could also be a result of the dog not getting much sleep. Have you noticed that your dog has been more active lately or maybe you've been giving extra exercise (not a bad thing!) to your dog.

If your dog does seem to be suffering from "insomnia" for no apparent reason then yes, I would consider going to the vet!

>Have you noticed that your dog has been more active lately or maybe you've been giving extra exercise (not a bad thing!) to your dog

This bitch is 61 days pregnant :)

I didn't notice that the bitch is 61 days pregnant. There's no need to get all picky about things. :)

When I'm being picky I don't put the smillies ;)

I'll let you off then lol

my dog has done nothin but sleep for the past 2wks ,doesnt seem to want to do much exercise

by the way my dog is a douge de bordeaux,has bloodshot eyes but very bloodshot past 3 days

my bitch had bloodshot eyes few days leading to her labour.

shouldnt be to long now

my girls eyes went very glosy. goodluck

my girls eyes are very glossy to , aswell as being bloodshot,maybe it is a sign that shes gettin herself ready to whelping thanks for your reply

my bordeaux did this as well about a week before she whelped.
she had them 2 an half weeks ago

hi claudia, how many pups did your bordeaux have?

she had 6 huge and really healthy pups,
is this your first litter of bordeaux
if so GET READY TO BE A WALKING ZOMBIE FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

hi claudia, yes this is our first litter of bordeauxs, my dog has just been asleep on a quilt and when we looked the quilt was soaking wet, could this be her waters ,shes not quite herself today a bit of heavy breathin,but has now gone back to sleep her eyes seem very distant,she hasnt shown any signs of digging though, her temp has been up and down past week it is now 100.1 and then it keeps goin to 99.8 any advice would be much appreciated

I noticed the red eyes for a week before one of my bitches whelped, and I did worry about high blood pressure!  However, she had a litter of 8 puppies quite naturally, and the red eyes went (at least they did in her - mine were red and held open by matchsticks for the next 3 weeks).

The next time she had a litter the same thing happened, and I worried again (as you do).  But everything was fine.

My bitch had a litter on Wednesday- her eyes were bloodshot last weekend and she started losing fluid (clear) about the same time.  She didn't really want to eat Monday or Tuesday and sure enough by Wednesday 2pm she started digging, not much just pulled the corner of the cover up in the whelping box, she did it again about 3pm a bit more this trime though, then again an hour later, about 5pm she started really digging- 5.20pm she had her first pup :-)  Good luck :-)

douge when is she due?
i would just get her to the vet and give her a check over
are the pups still moving?
keep a very close eye on her.

hi claudia, daisy is 64 days ,she lost 3 gushes of water yesterday ,took her to see vet 11.30 last nite he was goin to give her oxytocin but decided to see her again this morning ,took her they done another scan said pups are fine, they also done a blood test to see if she was in early stages ,but blood was 4.2 not lower enough yet ,she lost her mucus plug ,i think this morning before we went to vets they said give it a couple of days, she had all thick blobby stuff comin away from her, hope its not to long now feelin so sorry for her she looks really lost,yes pups still movin not much though now,im not moving away from her at all slept with her last nite and will untill the time comes

when it happens it will be  a very worrying time for both of you, just try to keep calm and help her through it.
it should not be very long now with the sounds of it.

GOOD LUCK
