Question

ok my dog Chloe is 61 days pregnant she keeps going and hiding under them bed is this a sign of anything? like what stage of labor 2nd or 3rd i dont know PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Did you read up on stages of labor? It sound like she may be starting to nest. You really should read up on what to expect. You have had 61 days, after all.

I would monitor her closely and if you want to be more vigilant, you can take her rectal temperature. When it drops below 99 degrees, she is going to deliver probably within 24 hours.

She will get restless, may have some vomiting, and may start panting in the first stages of labor. If you are concerned, call your vet or the local emergency vet clinic. They will be of more help to you.

Answer 2

Keep a close eye on her,or get a large pasteboard box,spead newspaper in bottom.When your dog is going into labor she will try and find a place to hide.Put your pet in the box and as her contraction get closer to expelling a pup,she will begin scratching the paper,or maybe tearing it up.Within 45 minutes to 1 hour after her contractions begin,a pup should be delivered.As the pup is born just make sure she begins at the head area cleaning the pup up,because if head of pup is left in bag of fliud,the pup will drown in seconds.If the Mom doesn't do this,then you must remove the bag off of the pups head by tearing it away from head,then let mom clean it up.Hope you good luck with your new litter.

I know how stressfull it is and how worried you are about your dog, so I wanted to make sure you got the best answer. :-)

Hi Roadrunner,

Besides being a little overdue, she sounds like she's acting perfectly normal for a pregnant dog. Mine all seem to puke foamy stuff up for a few days right before labor starts. They also seem to urinate like crazy and on the day they deliver, they have tiny bowel movements all day long.

I suggest you get a flashlight and a towel and take a nice walk with her. This might stimulate her into starting labor. Some dogs won't push in the house because they are trained not to go to the bathroom inside and labor feels like they have to have a bowel movement.

She still might not go into labor tonight, but I think you are looking at tonight or tommorrow.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

She's doing exactly what she's supposed to do right now , but you have to help her. Your "Chloe" is ready to have pups , now. The mama dog will try to find a nice place that is safe for them to have the pups, and she's looking for a comfy and dark place. Make her a nice small area so she can have them in , get a blanket or some spare sheets that you aren't going to be using. Maybe clear a space in a dark bedroom closet or something. If you have a large enough cardboard box that will work too. Just make her a nice warm dark and comfortable place , that is what she needs.

Answer 5

She is most likely finding her a place to have her babies, some times dogs will hide and have their pups as they don't want anyone getting around them . you should have her a box ready for her to have them in with a blanket in it, show her the box or bed and put her in it and let her lay in it while you pet her. You better watch her and keep up wih her cause she could have those pups somewhere and you not even know it!!! Maybe put the box in your room or where ever she sleeps at and put her food bowls there too! you can look it up on the web to see how many days they are before having pups? sounds like not much longer for her!

hi hope these answers help

Stages of Labour

Sixtieth day, until labour
From the sixtieth day it is wise to take the dog's temperature twice a day, as the normal temperature of 38.5 deg. C will drop by about 1"C just before whelping commences. The vulva swells considerably and becomes very soft. At this stage, and sometimes for twenty-four hours before whelping, a whitish mucous discharge may be noticed.

First stage of labour
The first stage of labour lasts approximately six to twelve hours, or up to twenty-four hours in a dog having her first litter. The dog becomes restless, refuses food, may vomit, pants a great deal and may start nesting procedures, tearing up her bedding and often becoming very excited in the process. She may go into cupboards or under beds. Uterine contractions at this stage are very slight and may not be noticed.

Second stage of labour
During this stage contractions become stronger and the dog is obviously straining. This stage usually lasts between fifteen to thirty minutes. The membrane around the pup ruptures with her straining and releases fluids that serve to lubricate the passage of the pup which is born soon afterwards.

The dog should lick away the membranes from around the puppy and chew through the umbilical cord. She will continue licking the puppy, nudging it towards her abdomen and away from her vulva. Usually the afterbirth for each pup is passed next, but this is not always the case. The dog usually eats the after birth. It does her no harm, and she may be upset if prevented from following her normal instincts. It is important at this stage not to interfere unless absolutely necessary.

Many dog breeders are not happy unless they have to 'help' the dog whelp in some way or other. In the vast majority of cases, human interference is not only unnecessary, but is actually harmful. Many of the whelping problems presented to veterinarians are caused by the owners of the dog being overzealous in their attentions. Some bitches prefer to be left alone, others prefer human company while they whelp, but none appreciate noise, fuss, floodlights, bowls of steaming smelly, disinfected towels, scissors, rolls of cotton wool for tying off cords, the neighbours and their kids, and the helpful expert who comes around to offer confusing advice at the worst possible moment.

Third stage of labour
The dog will normally rest between each pup for fifteen to thirty minutes, with slightly longer intervals towards the end of the whelping as she tires. After the pups are born, the dog rests and allows the litter to feed. She cleans them less constantly and becomes more relaxed in attitude.

The size of the litter usually varies with the size of the dog. The very small toy breeds may produce between one and three pups; intermediate-size dogs, four to six pups; while the larger breeds may produce anything up to a dozen.

good luck

Answer 7

It is possible for her to have healthy pups at 61 days, but she may simply be scouting out places to have her babies. If that is the only sign she is having she is not in labor yet. It could happen any time now tho so be prepared. Check out this link.

Answer 8

It takes 63 days for a dog to have puppies so she is probably looking for a place to have her babies. Make her a bed in a safe, quiet place. Nature will take care of the rest. If the labor takes to long take the dog too the vet.

Answer 9
