signs of labor and past due date

Question
I have a mini doxie and she is 62 days gestation.  What is the signs of labor??  How many days over due before I should be concerned???

Answer
Roseanne,
A bitch usually delivers on day 63. They can however go up to day 72. If she does not deliver her puppies by day 66, I would advise you to go see a vet. From my calculations today, would be day 66. If you do not have puppies take her to the very immediately. Each passing day is more dangerous from now on from her. Good luck and I hope that all goes well.
