Yes bless them...matchsticks for eyes should be included in whelping kits!

I shouldn't think a vet would make a house call when its only the drop of temperature.. She is peacful at present.

Yeh but i thought maybe if things start happening? Or you rekon they'd be able to help over the phone? x

if her temp has only just dropped it could be several hours before she starts

This stage can actually last quite a while. If she isn't pushing for more than an hour I don't think a vet will interven...Jill

Checking in to see how things are going?

How's the owner doing?

Well if the bitch is in trouble ie distressed, losing yukky green discharge, or pushing for a long time then maybe they would visit but usually they say to bring the bitch in just in case a c.section is needed but at present she is fine and snoozing.

Remember op deep cleansing breathes for yourself this could be a long night ..Jill

breech deliveries -
========================
NO, breech or face-first are both perfectly normal!
do not make Urself any more anxious than U already are,

find a QUIET area away from the other dogs and any children or other
pets, set her up in a room with a door that can close - if it is Ur bedroom,
that is OK for a few days - then U can set-up an Ex-pen or some other
safe space for her and the babies.

My dogs don't do bedding! They just sleep on the leather settees in the lounge. Yep while I am sitting on a hard kitchen chair, the dogs are usually stretched out on the leather settees.!

I have got a duvet I can use. (I will use anything so long as she is okay.) I put it down in the corner of my little used room to get her used to the idea that this might be a good place to have her puppies. I worry that she is anxious about where she will have her pups because I have other dogs. I only have one (castrated) male though. She growls at him when he gets near!

This room is warm and cosy but all Maisie has done so far is wee and poop on in there every day! Please rememeber she is a kennelled dog, never lived in a house.

I never got to grips with the house training. I now realise that was probably complicated by her condition.

Maisie is resting now. Should I take her temp again do you think?

I am sorry if I have panicked.

Her temperature was stable at 37.5 on 5/11. It has gradually dropped everytime since then! Now it is 36.6. It was 37 at 8.30 this evening.

Thank you so much for your guidance!!!!

I am sorry to be such a whoos!


Not sure how to spell wooos!

Don't worry miti, people will help reassure you it's not like this was planned and bless you for taking her on...Jill
