dog is 2 days overdue

Question
My pregnant mini dachshund is 65 days from first tie today.  I am concerned because she is showing no signs of labor yet.  The only thing I have seen is a clear mucous like discharge coming out of her for the past 2 days.  She is eating, not nesting, not producing milk, her temps have been in the 99 range.  She has shivered a little bit last night and today.  Then she stops, and acts fine.  She has been lying in her welp box for naps for about a week.  She looks huge to me, but I don't know what is normal.  She is 2 years old and has had one litter before this one.  The lady who gave her to me did not tell me any details about her first labor, and I am no longer able to be in touch with her.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

Hi Ann

When you do the counting method you have to give a few days either way. Especially on a unfamiliar dam (one where you don't know what her ovulation cycle is like).

Just because she was bred on a certain day, does not necessarily mean she caught on that day.  When ovulation occurs it takes 7 days for the egg to mature, and sperm can stay viable for up to 72 hours.  

Waiting is always the hardest.

Good luck
