I think Heav'ne's in Labor! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

yorkiemomma812 · 07-10-2009, 04:32 PM

ok so she hasn't been eating all day until a few seconds ago. She ate a very small amount of wellness puppy can food but she is still refusing to drink water. She is still panting and shaking every 20-25 mintues. Her stomach was making lots of sounds so I assumed she was hungary. The puppies are very active almost like they are trying to force their way out. LOL! I haven't taken her temp but she is very restless and the puppies are down low. I am laying inside her pen with her because she wont let me leave her. She's licking herself so hard I think she is going to lick the skin right off of herself. Her stomach is still making gurgling sounds that are loud. Is this normal? Could she actually be close. This makes day 60.

Sounds close but I'm not an expert

How exciting!

Hello,
I too am waiting for my yorkie to have her puppies, her name is Tia and today is 60 days. She finially started to stay in her whelping box and she has been licking me so much I think practicing LOLO.
Ive been reading alot on these board. Have you taken her temp? Ive been taking Tia's and she is 98.2 that was 2 days she has been under 100. No bleeding or anything and the puppies are very active too.
So it sounds like it might be a long nite for you will keep watching the board to see if Heav'nes had hers.
good luck
Kathy

When a female goes into labor her stomach will get rock hard when she has a contraction. To me the gurgling sounds just means she is hungry or has a tummy ache. Without being there it is really hard to say. Sometimes we let our imagination get away from us. I know I have stayed up many a night thinking a female was in labor only to find out it was a false alarm and then there were times when I did not know they were in labor until right before they had a puppy. Each female is different.

I noticed that her vulva is much larger than before. could it be swollen due to all the licking she has been doing?

Oh gosh, I don't think so. It is more swollen in preparation for those puppies coming out. It sure sounds like she is close to whelping time, but as BJH says, they have a way of fooling you too.

Yea a puppy watch,keeping my fingers crossed

for a safe healthy delivery for you!

LOL.. that sound familiar... sleepless night... appointment cancel... so sure today's the day but no... nothing... I got trick many time by my females. :rolleyes

She should start peeing every 30 min + when time come...

It is really important for her to drink water. Try to put a little chicken broth in it or make her drink from your hands or pipet.

Let us know...

Emma Lee · 07-10-2009, 06:55 PM

Oh I sure hope it is her time! I can feel your anticipation. I hope all goes well and that Heav'ne is just as good of a mommy as Emma is.

yorkiemomma812 · 07-10-2009, 07:10 PM

I guess you guys are right. I am so excitied about puppies being born that every little sound she makes get me worried. If her stomach gets hard with contractions then I am certain that she's having contractions. Her vulva reminds me off how big it gets when they are in heat and it looks sorta like a doughnut but it's just a little bigger. She is very uncomfortable and I still cant get her to drink any water. she keeps moving from one end of her box to the next. Well my daughter just took her temp and its 97.7 and she got her to drink some water with a little karo syrup and ice in it. She is now resting on her side and the pups appear to be kick boxing LOL!!!

ChantalB · 07-10-2009, 07:13 PM

I LOVE PUPPY WATCH.. I'LL BE ON HERE FOR A BIT... HOPE TONIGHT WILL BE THE NIGHT!

Breny · 07-10-2009, 07:16 PM

Wishing you a safe whelp!!!

I too, know oh too well, the waiting. As a matter of fact I have a bitch due to whelp now and have a 50th anniversary for my parents tomorrow I hope to make!!!

Tnyorkiemom · 07-10-2009, 07:20 PM

Her time must be getting near! Maybe you can get some rest off and on through the night and she will have them tomorrow (I will say a prayer for you)
