Hi, My name is Sara and my friend has a Yorkie that is pregnant. She did not know what to do so I went and picked Bella up last week.

She has NO idea when she matted or was in heat. I took the dog to my vet on the 20th and the vet could not feel puppies yet but said she did "look" pregnant. We were supposed to go back on 1/31 for an x-ray to see how far and how many. On the 20th the mom weighed 5.2 lbs. On 1/28 she weighed 5.6 lbs. Here is everything that has gone on since I got her on the 19th.

1/19 picked up Bella....looked very pregnant to me

1/20 went to vet - nothing could be felt. Temp 101.3, weight 5.2 lbs.

1/27 10:45a felt movement, heard heartbeats temp 98.8
2:15p - temp 100.6
6:30p - temp 97.9
11:00p - temp 98.9

1/28 Went to Vet at 8:00a. X-ray done...4 pups shown. Could see ribs and pelvis just fine. Heads were measured and so was pelvis. No reason to worry should all fit with room to spare. Mom has urinary stones on x-ray. Temp 101.2, Weight 5.6 lbs. No idea when due but got vets cell to call when ready.
12:10p temp 99.1
2.05 temp 98.9
4:15 temp 98.4
7:10 temp 99.2
9:05 temp 98.3
11:40 temp 98.6
1/29 -- 7:25a temp 97.8
8:25 temp 98.4 (called vet to give temps per his orders. Said to take again at 11:30 and call back)
11:38 Temp 98.1 - Vet said to continue to watch her and let him know when labor begins.

Now for the questions. Since we have no idea when she tied and no idea when she was in heat, are we getting close? I have taken off work for the past 2 days and now today. She has been resting a lot. No panting or anything like that. She has been staying right by me the last few days but last night she started staying in the hall more and is doing that again.

I have read 60+ pages in the breeders section where people have asked question, I have more book marked links that I can ever use. I have NEVER had yorkie puppies but have delivered lab puppies. Any help/Advice you can give will help out.
