Mini Daschund pregnancy

Question
This will be my Mini daschund's 3rd litter. She is only
about 14lbs or so now, her milk sacks aren't as big this
litter, but her puppies are moving around like crazy. Does
this mean she still has another week or could she go any
time now? Her first mating day was September 10th, but our
male mini daschund and her were stuck many other times after
that. The last time we caught them mating was on September
16th. So we have her due date as the 11th of November is
that correct or could she go earlier? Thanks.

Answer
the fact that she dont have big milk sacks isnt a way to tell because some females get it in a week early where other females get milk in when they whelp their pups. she could be having the pups anyway from the 7th to the 18th depending on what breeding took. i would start taking her rectal temp twice a day from now on. her normal temp should be between 100-102. when she has a drop to 97.9-98.6 take her temp in another 2 hrs and if its still down then you can expect labor within 24hrs. she should start nesting and looking for her place to have puppies and then it should be getting close. feel free to ask any other questions and i hope this helps!
