She has about 10 days to go. you can know she won't have puppies for at least 6 hours, if you offer her a favorite treat and she accepts it.. If she refused it, she may have pups with the 6 hours, so you would need to call in 'sick'. .Or board her at the vet's. . if her belly is HUGE, she may be as much as 5 days earlier than nine weeks.

Why did you not think of this BEFORE getting her pregnant?????
People just do not have a clue!!!! A TOY breed should NOT be left alone during delivery!! It can be very dangerous!!!!!!!
Was making more backyard bred puppies and some money that important?????
Maybe you better start paying a dog sitter!!
I wish people KNEW how common it was for TOY breeds to need a c-section!!! Yes dog have been having puppies for ever, but not toy breeds!!! If it was left up to nature, there would not be any toy breeds!!!!!

She can have birthing complications, but they do not arise commonly. Since she has milk let down it should not be too long before she gives birth. You can also take her temperature and when it drops to around 97 she will give birth in 12-24 hours. (a normal temp is 99-102) If you are worried about her you can ask you vet or a friend with experience in these matters to watch her for you, in case something was to go wrong.

Can you find a dog sitter for the days you are at work? It would be terrible to think of her going into labor and have complications that could result in death to her and the litter.
She should have about 2 weeks left before she's due, right? You may want to try to take her to the vet close to her due date to induce labor.

Bring her either to a friend, or a vet. She should not be left alone to fend for herself. If a pup get stuck she and the puppys could die.

Your dog will be fine. Nature will take over and she will have her pups when ready. She is your baby but dogs have pups by themselves all the time

When she stops eating, she will go into labor that day. Stay home, small dogs can need c-sections.
