Appetite may disappear as whelping approaches
CARE OF THE BITCH
Start taking temperature three times a day
TO DO LIST
Notify vet or emergency clinic when temperature drops so that they will be ready if you have any problems
Keep detailed records on temperature and behavior of bitch
Double check that whelping supplies are ready
Sheena is doing fine. Her temp keeps going up and down though and she is eating about a third less every day then she was. Guess the room in her tummy is disappearing fast. Sheena went for her x-ray this morning and the vet did a check up on her. Our vet doesn't think she will have them till around Monday, which is a huge relief. Though I will still watch her like a hawk. lol. The x-ray results we have to wait till the vet calls us this morning to let us know. As soon as I know I will let you all know. Ok now for the pics. These were taken only 2 days ago.
Hope you enjoyed.
Nicole & Sheena (moms to be)
