65th day still not whelping

18 13:41:29

Question
It has been 65 days since my chow's first mating day and she still hasn't whelped. I'm getting worried. She still doesn't have any milk either even though her teets are sagging. Is this normal? It's her first litter. Thanks!

Answer
Hi Louis. You said her first mating, how many times was she bred? I'd suggest taking her in for a check up just to make sure that all's well. As for her milk, some dogs won't get it in until they actually whelp. I wouldn't worry too much about her milk yet. Good luck!
