When is my dog going to have her puppies?

are you sure she's not false pregnant? heres a good site to read..http://www.petbitsforyou.com/labour.html good luck.

If your dog was bred more then once 66 days is not really late.They can become pregnant on later breeding.Even if only bred once 3 days is not too bad.Sounds like she may be starting labor with the pacing and restless behavior.Check her temperature if below 99 or so. I have had a female have them with a 99 degree temp and others it went down to 97 degrees.You'll have pups soon..Keep an eye on her and watch for any signs of distress.If you are not familiar with whelping call your vet and let them know what is going on in case you need to bring her in .

The temperature drop is a good indicator for you. However you need to have a baseline for her normal temp before you get this far along because like humans dogs also have a variance in what is a normal temp for them.

I had a female who was bred and I did the temp test on her near the end and she had dropped her temp. I was freaking out because it was early so I was staying tied to the house, guess what she took a whole week before she had the pups on the 62 day. So don't use that as gospel......

Have you been in to the vet with this female for ultrasound and xrays? Call the vet and tell them what is going on but I bet you get puppies really soon, probably today.

If you are sure about the date she was mated then she should have been due on the 63rd day but this can vary in different breeds. I would be inclined to let your Vet check her over if you think she has gone past her due date.

Take her temperature and if it has dropped to below 98 degrees then this is a sure sign she will whelp within 12 hours. She has to go through the stages of labour yet, i.e. shivering restlessness and panting and this can go on for 18/24 hours so once she starts this sort of behaviour you'll know you're in business.

Hope all goes well.

Do you have a whelping box all set up for her, and in a quiet place for her to be alone? Are you sure she isn't in labour, and that she doesn't have a puppy stuck in the birth canal?

It's not usually normal to be late, usually it would happen within a day or two of her due date.

You should take her into a vet to make sure there's nothing wrong, just in case she's in trouble and needs a c-section. If you wait and she is in trouble, the puppies will all die, and so will she shortly after.

Do not let her go past day 67 without seeing the Vet for a check up. It's not really normal to go this late, but does happen. So if you do not get pups on day 66 see your Vet on day 67. It could mean the difference between life and death for her and the pups.

There could be a problem. Please see a vet immediately. Also, I agree with minaussiemom. You really can't call this a "mistake". It's the owner of the dog's responsibility to make sure their dog does not get pregnant.

Dogs are dying every day because we just don't have enough homes for them and they have to be put down. There are so many dogs in shelters it is sickening. Have your mom walk through a dog shelter one day and see the dates set for dogs to be euthanized. And make her realize she is adding on to the problem.

Many people think so long as the dogs go to "good" homes there is no danger of them ending up in shelters. That is false. 50% of the dogs sold by backyard breeders (irresponsible breeders) end up in shelters eventually because their customers are so ignorant they don't know how to deal with puppies and they just get rid of them. Or they have to move, or some other problem comes up. Please spay and neuter your dogs.

Just take a look at this website. These dogs are all in danger of being put down if they aren't adopted soon. It's very sad:

Have you taken her temperature? If it drops below 100 degrees she will whelp her pups within 24 hours. If she doesn't show any visible signs of going into labor I would bring her to your vet and have them do a ultrasound to make sure the pups are still alive. She might have to undergo an emergency c-section if the pups grow too large for her to birth naturally.

Are you sure she is 66 days? If she does not show signs of labor by tomorrow, i'd take her to the vet.

How about taking her to the vets? They can do an xray to tell you how many to expect and if they are in the right position to whelp. Talk to your mom about spaying her dog. There should not be "accidents".

whoa are you shure shes on her 66 days that's alot now you need to call a vet i believe dogs give birth from 59 to 63 days don't know my dog is also pregnant and she is going to have her puppies today or maybe sunday shes 59 days already well good luck what kind of dog it she...
