JRT Pregnancy

Question
I am curious if you can give me any advice.
I'm assuming she got pregnant on October 6th. They got stuck...Twice!
She currently has the enlarge nipples and swollen belly.

I estimate December 8th to have the babies(puppies).

Can you fill me in with anything else I should know.


Answer
Count 60 days from first tie (stuck together) and you will have your due date - although it can vary by a few days.
Take her temperature once in the morning and once at night every day for a week up until the due date. When her temperature dips down below 100 degrees, she will definitely be giving birth in 12 to 24 hours so stay close.
Birthing puppies takes time and lots of experience, neither of which I can supply you with here. You should either go on the internet or to your local library and get as much information you can on birthing puppies. Lots of things can go wrong and you want to be completely prepared. Make sure you have the phone number and address to the nearest 24 hour emergency veterinarian nearby in case you have to rush her in. Watch video on YouTube about birthing puppies, fill yourself with as much knowledge as you can before they come. Have some Esbilac or other puppy milk available in case a puppy refuses to nurse on the mother. Make sure you give your nursing dog LOTS of water available.
There is so much more to know, please start your research right away and best of luck!
