One-puppy pregnancies often do not provide uterine contractions because there is no crowding or pressure. It would probably be a good plan to seek the advice of a repo vet immediately and probably expect a C section. Let me know how she comes along as this is good info for all if us. Good luck, Carolyn WyMarGSD2@xxxxxxx wrote: Scenario: just 7yr old, seasoned female, litters consist of 7,6,7,8 & 6 puppies, skipping a season after 1st and 2nd litter of 7, and skipped after both litters of 6, only did back to back litter after litter of 8. the 11th day is the prime breeding day and always delivers day 61 every litter. Season not typical, bleeding longer, never really turned light pink or slowed down in the normal time, bred on day 14, prog. was 2.7 (got back the next day of course) smear was 40% cornified, bred day 16, (thurs) 80% cornified, bred day 18 (Sat) no smear no prog, both were 30 min ties, bred reluctantly day 20, (mon) 10 min tie, day 22 smear WBC present Day 61 due date would be which? One puppy, how long would you wait for "labor"? Temps consistent each night at 100.0 or 100.2 last night midnight was 99.8 but this 7:30AM was 100.2 (only taking them once a night late) Female acting typical as other litters. No discharge, Today is day 61 Thurs breeding, day 59 from Sat breeding. Anyone ever experience a progesterone level increasing from 2.5 to 5 in two days? i was thinking Saturday was the best day normally i have seen progesterone taking a week to go from 2.5 to 6 in a week... when do you plan the visit for a C section? would a female with very good delivers and labors have trouble with one puppy? any suggestions how to stimulate labor, walking? massage?
