I figure she got pregnant right about christmas time. She already has milk and when I feel the babies in her belly they are about huge. (poor mama). She has stopped eating two days ago in a book I read it said within 24 hours after they have stopped eating they usually start to deliver. But nothing. Somebody please help me?????

the timing doesn't check out. if you really feel it has been longer than 63 bays call your vet now. even a day or two after 63 days would mean the puppies may not be viable. you will know she is ready to deliver when she starts digging into a closet or blanket or where she or you have decided she will give birth. you may have to help with the delivery. the most important is to clear the sack away from the face. if puppies are not breathing well, pinch the skin on the back of their neck" hard". you want to cause pain to get them to breath. also, if not breathing you can place the puppy between your hand, raise it over your head and bring them down fast. sometimes this can make them gasp. if all this fails, place your mouth over theirs and give breath.when puppies are born and not breathing they are still alive, their just having a hard breathing. there are plenty of other thing you can do to help both mommy and puppies. get on the Internet and look up delivering puppies or any search engine. my puppies our doing great after a rocky start, in fact one of them is trying to get me off the computer right now. good luck. check your dates, I'm sure everything will be great, lets us know.

She could have pups any day. Your dog needs to be eating puppy food. Actually it is good to feed her this during her pregnancy and through her nursing until her puppies are weaned and perhaps for a few weeks after that. Puppy food has extra fat and protein which she needs.
You would really need for a Vet to examine your dog and give you an idea of when she should deliver and have that Vet available so you can talk to him or her, or staff at his or her clinic when your dog starts her labor in case she has complications.
Also, if this is her first litter and she is a young dog she may have difficulties taking care of her pups once they are there.
Hope she will be okay and the deliveries will be without complication.

How could you let your dog breed? Obviously you aren't a professional, you have no idea what you're doing. The hars reality is that you did a horrible thing. You don't even know when the girl got PREGNAT for christ's sake! Please lady, spay her after this.
People are so cruel. You say she's a "poor mama" but you put her through this. I'm sorry, but sometimes you need to be strict so people learn. You obviously need to.

No dog delivers "by the book". Make sure she has a comfy place to rest with lots of water. If another day goes by thoug without her eating, yoy may want to call a vet, as something more seriuos may be happening.

Lets say she was mated on the 25 of Dec. She should have had her puppies on Feb 26 give or take a few days. She should be very close to whelping. If you knew the right date I could give you more information..But what you have said here she will have them in a few days or a day or a few hours..she is very ready

my girl had her pups this morning....she had 11!!! anyways with her i noticed she was nesting quite a bit... she also waited until everyone was in bed before having them..m guessing to be on her own. just make sure ur dog is in a nice dark quiet place with blankets or something to nest in. she should have the pups soon.... its just a matter of playing the waiting game! i know how you feel though with the anticipation!

I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD 63 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF CONCEPTION. SHE MAY BE IN LABOR NOW AND YOU MAY JUST NOT BE REALIZING IT. I WOULD SAY IF BY TOMORROW, NO PUPPIES CALL THE VET. THEY MAY BE CLOSED ALL WEEKEND AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR THEM TO COME INTO THE OFFICE IF SHE IS HAVING TROUBLE DELIVERING THEM ON HER OWN. GOOD LUCK!
