Hello, I'm one of those hated owners who run a "puppy mill," as many people are quick to judge people on here who ask question about their pregnant, whelping bitches. I have one of my GSD's who is due anytime.
She is beginning to hide now, like going to our bedroom to her bed on the floor, she whimpers at least once or twice an hour, but other then a little discharge that is a light cloudy white, almost watery type fluid, she isn't doing much else. Or rather, I've noticed more today her stomach tightening up, where you can really feel the outline of her pups, if not see them.
This is her second litter, but I wasn't here for her first, as I was out of town, and my husband was the only one here. I hadn’t made it home until the first pup had already been born, and my husband said she had showed no signs that she was going to deliver, and actually delivered the first on the concrete, while my husband was outside working.
I've been taking her temp. for the past week, and she has been in the middle to low 100 degree mark. The night before last she went up to 101.5, then the next morning I noted she was 99.7. Now this morning and today she has been in the low 100-mid/high 99.
Although I’ve been breeding for almost 10 years, I am still new to the temperature theory, and she is the first ***** I’ve actually done this with. So is there anyone who has an idea, or if this means she had her rise, just before her drop, and I’ve now caught her back on the rise?
Should I expect puppies soon, or do I have a few days left on my hands from your opinion of what I’ve written? Normally my bitches are your typical laboring dogs who show more sign of labor, where she is just stumping us all.
