my pregnant toy poodle

Question
hi, my sweetheart is pregnant for about 50 days now. a couple of days ago she lost mucus and today when i squeeze her teats, milk comes out. she is a small toy and she looks very pregnant. do you think we can expect the puppies early? she is also asking for a lot of attention

Answer
Hi Monique

The mucus plug can start to expel up to 10 prior to whelping.   You want to watch now that she's producing milk, that she doesn't become impacted and get mastitis.  Don't express her milk but you can feel if she's becoming hard and hot.

63 is gestation, you don't want to encourage her pups to come early, as they will have a higher rate of mortality.  Best to sit back and let Mother Nature do her thing.

Good luck
