My dog is pregnant, How close?

Question

You can just now see lots of movement from the pups, kicking, looks as if some roll over in the tummy, She ahsn't started producing milk yet, or atleast to my knowledge , How close is she? Her **** do sag though, so there has got to be some in just not flowing. And also, How soon after she starts producing milk should I expect pups?

I'm not exactly sure how long she has been pregnant for... it's been awhile or maybe it just feels that way, I don't need to be told it can range from 62 days or anything like that I already know!!

German Sherperd/ Collie mix... Yeah I'm giving them away but I'm getting them fixed first I'm paying for all shots and spay and neutering them before they go out into their new homes.

Answer 1

Sounds like she is very close!! Some dogs do not let their milk down until the pups are born which happened with my last litter. You should watch her closely! I would say any day now.

Answer 2

Not necessarily is she do any day now when your first notice the pups moving that means in the next 2 to 3 weeks the pups are gonna come..Her teats aren't gonna produce milk right away first comes the colostrum which the pups need to fight infections then in about a few days after the pups are born her milk will flow...Dog breeder & trainer of Labs for the blind for 13 years..

Answer 3

Di you know when she was impregnated? Dogs usually have a 60- 65 day gestation period, with an average of 63. Take your dog to the vet and they can probably give you a good estimate. Meanwhile, do a good bit of research on what to do if complications arise with the pregnancy, birth, or with the young puppies.

Take her temperature when you think the time is getting close. When her temperature suddenly drops by a degree, she's going into labour.

Answer 4

The normal gestation time for the average dog is about 64 days. Take her temperature, and when it starts to drop, get the towels! If you think you're going to have all the dogs neutered, then you have to be in touch with a vet, so take your dog to see it! If this is your first litter, start reading and make sure that you know the location and phone numbers of the Emergency Vet closest to you.

Answer 5

Usually pregnant dogs are so fat with the puppies the teets are not prominent. The gestation period is 60 to 63 days. Look for her to start finding a place to deliver. The milk producing stage has started it doesn't flow it has to be sucked out by her new borns. If your that worried take her to the vet. Please have her spayed as soon as you stop breeding to avoid possible hormonal problems later, like Breast cancer. It happened to my dog.

Answer 6

If you notice the dog to try and "nest", then you know it's close. Nesting is just when she finds a place to stay and makes that her home. You can also check her temperature. If it drops to 98-99, you know you will have puppies within 24 hours. You can also take her to your vet and they can tell you how far along they think she is. GOOD LUCK!!!
