Question
hi there .
i have a toy poodle she is 1 yr old now .

im worried because i read some blog that only 63 days the poodle will give birth . i noticed that her nipples are swollen , and i try to squeeze it the milk comes out . :)
please help me .

Answer
Hello B,
Most dogs will deliver around 63 days, but they can sometimes go longer if they need to.  Dogs in the wild can withhold deliverly if they feel threatened or aren't able to find proper shelter to have their babies in.  Your female may just not be ready yet, but if her temp is 98.8 then she will deliver soon, I would say either tonight or tomorrow sometime.  
If you think she is in any distress, you might have your Vets number on hand, just in case.  Watch to see if your female is pushing.  As long as she pushes and produces puppies, thats fine.  If you see her pushing and struggling for more than 2 hours without producing a puppy, then you should call the Vet.

Give her a couple more days and if you have other questions for me, please ask.
