Darksunshine Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hi my Husky is 60 days pregnant (as of midnight) and she has had a temp under 100 for just over 24 hours. I have only been taking her temp since then as i didnt have a thermometer till then. She has been showing signs off and on, whining, pacing and occaional nesting, right now she is sleeping on the floor but she goes in and out of her whelping box. She has also been having discharge on and off (stringy and clear in color) She has only eaten a small handfull of food today and has not drank much at all. Im just wondering if labor is getting close and any other signs i can look for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Probably best to ring your vets or the breeder who mentored you when u decided to breed , we're not a breeding site just a forum for husky lovers and owners and can only help so much , sadly not many , if any of us have experience with breeding , hope your girl is ok Sent from my E6653 using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMANI & ALINAH Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 @DarksunshineI agree with @BingBlaze n Skyla. I would take your Mama to a Vet to get a good check over. We can all try to help with but personally, I would take her to Vet to ensure everything is A-OK with her.[emoji171]🤗[emoji252][emoji274]~ANGIE, ARMANI & ALINAH~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just wondering if labor is getting close and any other signs i can look for? Okay her temperature is going down she is coming into labor everything else you described is normal for a husky in labor. They don't eat much or drink much. The discharge can happen eight weeks after they have the babies. Your girl is coming into labour [emoji2][emoji2][emoji171][emoji171][emoji173]️[emoji173]️ Your are very lucky [emoji252][emoji252][emoji177][emoji177][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2] Nesting she is close very close to having her pups [emoji4][emoji173]️[emoji173]️ I actually dont see any reason to call your vet maybe just for I think she is going to labour I may need you an emergency but everything is normal [emoji2][emoji2]Sent from my Pixel using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry if you are going through this alone. Messaging is a difficult way to mentor someone through a process like this. Every dog is different. I know you have read that they will stop eating before they go into labor but I have had mom's that have eaten an hour before first birth. They can appear like they are ready for several days before actually giving birth. I can try to help with questions. But you should have a vet on standby in case she does need a C-section. The only true sign is the breaking of the amniotic sac in which a flood of fluid will come out. Shortly after you should have your first pup. Or if the sack does not break ahead of time, you will see her pushing out a water balloon that will eventually break. Do not pull on the puppy to help out, you do not want to dislocate anything. The signs you are seeing now can last up to 7days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARMANI & ALINAH Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 I only mention and recommend taking all pregnant Mamas to Vets very close to delivery to get complete check & have an XRay to ensure the positioning of the first pup is not going breach and to tell how the positioning is with the others pups (except you don't know exactly how every pup will come out). XRays do give a pretty good gage of how many pups are in there. If my girl ever got pregnant, I would take Mama to Vet for all three stages throughout pregnancy. (It's of course not a requirement) but a personal choice...plus I'm a worrier and will spend extra dollars for my own piece of mind but especially the well being of Mama/pups.I'm praying@MARKIE that WINTER has a beautiful delivery!! Also a beautiful delivery for your Mama too@DarkSunshine!!![emoji8][emoji252][emoji252][emoji252][emoji252][emoji252][emoji252][emoji252][emoji252][emoji178][emoji178][emoji171][emoji274]~ANGIE, ARMANI & ALINAH~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that would make you feel better it is just fine to take her to the vet. I'm just saying it is not necessary. Puppies do come out breech. My girls have had several breech babies with no difficulty at all. It is not the same as humans and a breech birth. I personally prefer not to subject my girls to x-rays during pregnancy. The last thing I need is a nervous mommy resulting in a bad case of the runs which is not good for her or the babies she is carrying. Everyone has their own preference. I am skilled in feeling for the puppies by palpation using my hands and listening to heartbeats with a special stethoscope. So it is easy for me to know when the last one is out. Some prefer to use xrays to get a count (not always accurate) to know when she has delivered her last one. Everyone needs to do the best thing for them according to their experience and comfort levels. 💕 I have no doubt your sweet babies are in the best hands with you. You have such a kind heart and it shows in everything you write 💞🤗 i am glad I am getting to know you. My grandmother was 100% Cherokee Indian. So we have a little something in common😊.

ARMANI & ALINAH Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Your right, it's not necessary or required for Vet visits near end of pregnancy. I'm not experienced at all with breeding. Just know some things from my friends and being their at birth time. Mine are both neutered/spayed thank Goodness. But I would personally love going thru the entire 63days/birth if I ever get another female. But since I'm a worrier and have anxiety, it would not be good for me to have puppies LOL!!Definitely we are the Cherokee Gals!![emoji8][emoji171][emoji171][emoji260][emoji274][emoji262]~ANGIE, ARMANI & ALINAH~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would feel like you just got off a roller coaster of emotions when done and you would keep ALL the babies if you could because you would be so attached to them😘💕❤️💞🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna-tic Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 I think the vast majority of dogs and cats will birth without any help or problems, they are much better at it than humans lol. Of course be watchful but I’d just let them get on with it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
