Question
she has urine leaking,breast have milk,still eating and drinking alot of water how much longer do you think she has before having puppies?

Answer
Hi Linda.  What was the date you mated her?  The normal gestation period for dogs is between 58 - 63 days.

Have you taken her temp.  The normal temp for a dog is between 101 - 102.5, however usually 24 hrs before labor the mothers temp will drop to below 100.

Good luck, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.

Sincerely,
