My bitch is now at 65 days this is her 3rd litter the first 2 she went on day 63, is there a possibility there is something wrong seeing as though this is her 3rd and the first 2 came on days 63.She seems very restless chomping at the jaw you can see the pups moving in her belly and her hind end is very large im just afraid something is wrong.

Answer
Hi Leslie.  Because this is your dogs 3rd litter I'm going to assume this is not your first breeding experience.  With this said, I'm not going to take up your time with details of how to determine if your dog is in labor or not.  Obviously, by your questions, she is not showing any signs of labor.  

I would place a call to your veterinarian's office  just to give them notice that you might need to bring her in to see them, and to get any advice they might have to office.

Being restless, and seeing the puppies moving around are normal signs that her time is near. All you can do at this point is make sure she has plenty of water, and is comfortable.  If, when labor actually starts you notice that she is straining - pushing, and having non productive contractions for over an hour without producing a puppy, then you might need to take her to you vet for assistance.


Good luck, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.  I also want to apologize for the delay in replying to your question.  I am having some remodel work done at my home and lost my internet connection.  It should now be working again without further delay.

Sincerely,
