Hi Amy:
My reproduction vet has me count 9 weeks (63 days) from the ovulation
date....not breeding date.? In the old days, progestering testing was not
available, and we used the first breeding date.? This is why whelping date
could be 57 - 63 days from date of first breeding.
Of course, unless you know the ovulation date, you really are at nature's mercy
as to when the pups will arrive.? Also, pups can arrive a day or two prior or
after ovulation date, too.
What is her rectal temperature?? You are looking for a drop to 98.???, and then
a rise back up to almost normal.? The litter will arrive when the number is
back up, not at a low number.?
FYI - This current litter, my bitch and the stud had their first tie 4 days
before she ovulated.? This explains why her previous litters, no progesterone
testing done, arrived 4 days after her due?date.
Good luck with the babies.
B Hively

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Whelping Question
It has been 5-1/2 years since our last litter of puppies. Mystery's 63rd. day
from the first breeding is July 20th. Today is only the 14th. She was very ancy
last night......not wanting to settle. This morning she will not eat and she is
normally a great eater. My question is this....Is it possible that she ovulated
before the first breeding???? I only got two breedings two days in a row and
Mick could not breed her the third day. I was thinking puppies possibly Friday,
Sat. but today is too early.? Could she poosibly just be uncomfortable because
the puppies are moving????I really did not think that there would be any
puppies
until at least Thursday. ?If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.? I
think that I will be sticking very close to her now. TIA.
