Canine Gestation WEEK 8-9 and VIDEO

We are on the last instructions, it's getting soon


WEEK Eight
  • The pups have fur and are now crowded in the uterus. You may notice a lot of activity as they get into position for the coming birth.
  • Your bitch may begin digging the bedding in the whelping box. This is natural "nesting" behavior.
  • Allow your bitch to feed freely as she is able.
WEEK Eight to Nine
  • The pups are ready for birth, and may be quite still as they rest in preparation for the marathon to come.
  • Your dog may appear uncomfortable and restless or anxious.
  • Time to begin taking rectal temperature readings 12 hours apart. Normal temperature is 100 to 101 F; a drop down near 97 F held for two consecutive readings indicates labor will begin within 24 hours.



Day 51, Tuesday, puppies are easy to feel rolling around, saw two sonic booms while I was smishing around and wanting to feel the puppies.  ahh, this is the fun part.  And the pups have fur, no wonder Grace is so warm
