Question
my staff was due to have her puppies on friday just gone she had a show on friday and keeps licking her vagina alot at 5o clock yesterday morning then did it again this morning but there are no other signs except she didn't eat much this morning too what do i look for now her show was smelly too.

Answer
Hi Lisa

Do you have a whelping box for her?  She needs towels or newspaper so she can nest.  She will starting panting and may whine and pace.

You can keep her hydrated with a bit of vanilla ice cream, which will also help with contraction.

Her discharge should be clear and may have a light tinge to it.

Good luck
