she isnt acting strange, shes eating great, hers nipples are not producing any milk yet, no discharge.

this is my 3rd dog birth and im scared because this is her 1st litter

Answer 1

Once her tempature drops to approximately 99 degrees, she should have the puppies within the next 24 hours. (not the approximately and should) lol

The gestation of a dog is approximately 63 days, again, that too can vary. And it would depend on how many times she was bred. She could have "took" the first time she was bred or even the last. If she bred three times, every other day, then the actual gestation could vary as much as five to seven days.

It certainly doesn't sound like she is currently in labor.

Answer 2

When taking her temperature, take it in the morning before she gets up and moves around so that it is accurate. There is no set temp it will drop to, usually it will drop one or two degrees from her normal temp. The temperature drop is usually 12-24 hours before labor.

63 days is average, my last litter came at 63 days almost to the hour of the first breeding! But 60 days is normal, so is 67. At 71 days I would probably have her in to the Vet.

Answer 3

The length of gestation is variable between dogs and litters. I have had 2 dogs go 2 weeks overdue (very nerve wracking). Usually they go 63 days, 71 would not be out of the ordinary.
Her temperature will drop by 1 degree in 12 to 24 hours and last for for a few hours (until 48 hours prior to welping) and then return to normal. So you will need to be taking her temp several times a day and keep track of her normal temp. average.
Most dogs will loose their appetite in the hours before welping.
When she starts scratching the ground she will be 1 to 7 days from welping.
She will loose her mucus plug in the 24 hours prior to welping. That is not always easy to spot, so don't depend on it.
A green discharge will mark the beginning of welping.

Answer 4

A BYB is someone who has little or no information of the breed, does no formal evaluation of the dam or sire's characteristics (like showing or performance activities) and breeds the canines to make money. An acccidental muddle is a demonstration of both an twist of destiny by technique of an in the different case thoughtful individual or a basic journey for a non-wondering individual. in case you tutor canines with the intention to judge them, and carefully tournament a sire and a dam in protecting with those checks and do health checks then i doesn't call that a BYB. in the journey that in addition they require spay/neuter on puppy canines, promote domestic dogs with a constrained registration, take decrease back canines at any element of their lives for any reason, socialize the domestic dogs wisely, and carefully tournament households with domestic dogs then i'd call that to blame breeding. You stated "is a BYB someone who personal round 4/5 canines ALL registerd ALL have large bloodlines, and purely breeds her canines perchance once a 365 days or a lot less? and cares for them, shall we the canines stay interior her living house,and doesnt EVER mistreat thier canines?" ands i'd call that individual a BYB besides. They have not been assessed for health, genetic issues, temperment, and so on then the fellow breeding them is a BYB. Bloodlines are a astounding predictor of skill---yet what concerns is the canines itself. some astounding bloodlines produce canines that should not be bred. My canines's breeder is awesome. She shows and competes with the canines in distinctive activities and averages a muddle each and every 2-3 years or so----even as she needs a puppy for her personal breeding software. She checks references LOL and is particularly strict about who receives a puppy from her. Her very last muddle became usually spoken for before they were born and they were all spoken for by technique of the time the domestic dogs were 4 weeks previous. She takes canines decrease back if the vendors can't keep them and is person-pleasant to get in contact with if I actual have any questions.

Answer 5

don't be scared, she will pick up on that! the pups will come @ 63 days. almost always. that's counting from the first breeding. so if she caught on the last day of breeding count 63 days from that and she will deliver on one of those days. relax and enjoy the journey.she needs you to be confident. what breed ?stop with the temp. thing not all dogs are the same anyway. your worrying her for nothing.

Answer 6

63 days from the first tie. 98 is the correct temp, usually that signs that birth is imminent. If this is her first littler, you can take her to your vet he can give her a pelvic and can give you a real good time frame.'

She willa lso starty to nest and act very nervious
