Answer 1

Bladder infections and urinary tract infections are fairly common. It take @63 days from conception to delivery date so its way too early to feel any pups. It sounds like this is your first litter. Please do lots of research(should have bben done before mating),ask your vet tons of questions and if you can,find a responsible breeder who can mentor you through this birth. Good luck. Your vet can tell you when it would be best to bring your dog in for a sonogram so he can count the number of pups in the litter.

I presently have 2 older female boxers and have had several boxers previously. Have additionally done dog rescue and rescued a few so have interacted with many specific boxers. They are wonderful associate dogs and i love the breed, however I also appreciate the breed and be aware of what to count on. They're excessive vigour and wish tons of undertaking. Just about each boxer i have ever identified will soar a fence. They are very athletic and don't like to be separated from their loved ones. I have recognized a couple of boxer with severe separation anxiousness. They can be destructive if left alone for long durations of time (my granddaughter's boxer ate their mattress). A boxer will not be completely happy being left alone all day at the same time the loved ones is at work or institution. They also can tend to be over protective of their family (I've recognized 2 like that) and may also be dominant aggressive with different dogs (they're in any case, one of the most "gladiator" breeds). As a rule they get together with other puppies and love to play, however i've obvious 2 situations of dominant agression towards other dogs - one a male and the other feminine. They're ordinarily very loving and fun dogs that crave human companionship. They're additionally stubborn and independent and although they're shrewd, don't in general take well to obedience training. Pups tend to play rough and difficult and so would have some predicament for the chihuahua. A difficult playing boxer puppy may hurt a smaller canine without that means to - simply being a boxer dog! Correctly, i would motivate you to recollect an older boxer that has been well socialized to small puppies. Having a boxer puppy generally is a trying expertise, even for those skilled with boxers! I without doubt love boxers and would no longer be with out one, however they aren't for everyone and one desires to have an understanding of their little quirks and be prepared to accept and maintain them.

It is way to early to feel pups. You may not feel pups until right be fore she has them.
She may have picked up an infection from being bred or gotten something from the male. It happens.
Treat it with the antibiotics and hopefully the pups will be fine.
The vet should have prescribed something that will not hurt the pups.
Bladder infections can be common in females and thankfully most clear up easily with antibiotics.
