hhaha you are no whoos, woss or what ever it is.

What ever room you decide then sit with Maisie and comfort her with soft words. As long as she is comfortable and the room is warm she will be fine. But no she will not want another dog around her. She will probably feel like she needs to wee and poo a bit. Some bitches have diahorrea before they give birth.

It may be a good while yet.

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!!!!

IT's always good to check her temp.

My vet informed me the closer to the due date take the pet's Temp about 4 times a day!

Thank you all for your help and kindness.

Maisie is lying quietly at the moment. Her delicate bit is wet. Though that could mean she has just we'ed somewhere!

I will keep a close eye for an hour or so.

Do you think i should take her temperature again?

She seems quite relaxed. Unlike me! I am a bundle of nerves.

Hi Miti

You and your girl are going to be fine, she knows exactly what to do. Now deep breaths girl you can do this

. The main thing is like others have said stay calm, she will want to feel this from you.

For her whelp bed = News paper, duvet, towels, sheets, save the vet bed for when the pups are born and you can leave them on this a corner of a room where she is able to be on her own would be good, your whelp box may come tomorrow and they can all go in thier litle safe haven then, my freinds little dog had her litter in the bottom of a wardrobe.

The room is going to have to be kept warm day and night once the pups are born no draughts. If you have some hot water bottles this would be good to help keep the pups warm, wrap the bottle in a towel so not to get too hot. If you get concerned at all phone the vet they will take you through things and get to you if need be. Do you have any glucouse or any ice vanilla cream, this helps give the mum energy boosts between pups, the glucouse can be diluted in her water, Molly loved this whe she had her babies.

Gosh love you. I know how worried you must be but your doing great keep us posted xxx

I wouldnt disturb her with doing her temp anymore, you know the pups are def... on their way just a matter of time. When she starts panting shivering and pushing then you know its iminent. Others may disagree here so I may be wrong but after a while I didnt want to upset our Molly with keep taking her temp..

I agree with you. her temp is down we all no that and there really is no point taking it if she has started.

Any little shivers at all, licking?
