Does a dog's water break before going into labor?

Question

This is my first time having a pregnant dog. I've done lots of research but I haven't heard of the water breaking. Today is day 55 and there was a puddle of clear liquid on my floor and I could tell it wasn't water.

Answer 1

Yes, it will break. And YAY, another BYB. sigh.

Answer 2

Generally, you don't WANT the water to break, that can be a sign of trouble. You want the puppies to come out still enclosed in their sack....break the sack gently at the puppy's face FIRST, and get them breathing. If a "water" DOES break, and you don't have a pup born within an hour or two at most, you MUST get to an e-vet immediately. Good Luck Vintage Collies

Answer 3

I don't recall any puddles of water and my pregnant dogs sleep in my bed. A friend of mine does have a problem with her female having to pee a lot more when she is pregnant. She should be 63 days pregnant. it is not unusual for them to have premature babies. I would say just keep an eye on her. when she throws up then you know for sure it is time.

Answer 4

yes the water breaks before the labor starts. it is a little soon for her to be have the puppies since they go 63 days. i would watch her real close and keep her in a small area. so if she starts you can help her if need.

Answer 5

Yes, their water must break before delivery. But they should begin giving birth quite soon after wards. Much good luck, & Congrats! Hope their all healthy with 5 claws on each foot. :-)
