Question
my boston is 68 days pregnant.  No signs of welping.  Lactation is in full swing. No puppies. What should i do. C-section or wait?

Answer
Hello Angie;
Sorry, I was on a business trip, and got stuck in snow..
I don't believe in C-Section, unless your female is in distress of hard labor, and cannot push the puppies out...
The date does not mean that she did not get fertile at a later time from the last breeding...so, take her in for an x-ray, and a check up, and get your vet to hear the heart beats of the pups, this will determine if there is any "Fetal distress".
A Vet is going to be the final call!
Best of wishes, let me know what you have!!!
Thanks again,
Melissa
