preggers maggie update

If she came into heat on January 14, she would most likely have concieved after the 21st. (Counting on my fingers.) That would make her delivery date on or around the 22 to 26th of march. Give or take a few days because you don't know for sure when she actually concieved.

If her vulva didn't return to normal size after her heat and the discharge is minimal, clear and odorless she's probably got a puppy or three in there. In the next week you'll be able to tell more by her appearance! Now would be the time to increase her daily feedings by 1/3, preferably by adding a mid day meal. It's also time to alert your vet and set up the whelping box.

If the discharge is colored or has an odor, she needs to seen by your vet ASAP.

I put in my last post I realized that she came into heat on the 2nd of january. Thanks for the info. Should I go get a good quality puppy food?

Sorry I missed the change in dates. She's closer than I thought! A good quality puppy food will work just fine.

Hope everything goes smooth as silk!

Thanks! My sister really wants a puppy so if she has pups my sister will be the first to get one. My poor baby wont stay away from me lol. She is always laying beside me lately. She is also sleeping most of the day unless she is eating or using the bathroom. I'm glad my mom is an experienced breeder (she used to breed pekingese) that was before I was born though. I can understand why there would only be a few pups because if she was bred it was only for a few minutes. I never saw a dog though so i'm not sure when it happened. I know my neighbor has beagles that escape from their pen every once in a while.

You really should get her to a vet and do payments if you have to, my grandparents always had bostons and since they are like bully breeds they most likely could need a c section because there heads are too big to come out... I could be wrong but atleast I always was told that... plus its always safe to know how many to prepare for, We just had pups in december and the good thing was we had her checked weekly at the vets and knew around how many pups to expect, so then we knew when she was done delivering and could put the pups back in with her.... good luck and I cant wait to see puppy pics!!!

I am taking her to the vet soon probably in the next 1-4 days and I know that she will probably need a c-section. I will take tons of pics!

Well I called and the earliest time they could take her is monday. She is getting x-rays to see how many pups there are. Hopefully she wont have them before then.
