Are the puppy's coming soon?
My female is at 65 days after conception. 2 days ago it looked like she wet the whelping box. She also was whining and scratching to make a bed. Last night she started spotting the dark green fluid where she has been laying. She has been licking herself non stop for the last two days. Her temperature was 100 yesterday and is also 100 today.........
I thought she would start giving birth soon after the "green goo" appeared??? Am I being impatient? |

She needs to see a vet ASAP!!! To the best of my knowledge, gestation is only 63 days. The fact that you found her box wet then and she was exhibiting nesting behaviour seems to indicate that she started labour 2 days ago and has not progressed. That and the "green goo" scream emergency if you want to save her life. Whether or not any pups can be saved only your vet can tell you.

Hi Jimmy. There are very few people here who are knowledgable about breeding or whelping (you should also know that this is a very pro spay/neuter forum). You need to call your vet and/or breeding mentor asap. Whelping does not always run smoothly; it's in the best interest of your dog to treat any uncertainty as a possible emergency. Please call right away and let us know what your vet says.

ETA: the greenish goo is probably meconium...which is basically the puppy's first poop. A VERY quick internet search seems to indicate that its presence before delivery of any pups is a sign of distress and an emergency.
I would skip the phone call, get your dog in the car, and get to a vet now.

Thank You sooooooooooo much for your responses. The vet examined her and her cervix is dialated but no puppy in the birth canal. He gave her a p.o.p. injection to induce labor........ now just a matter of time. If she cannot give birth in 90 minutes or so he is going to do a c-section..........cross your fingers for us and again God bless you for your kind words and help!!! Jim
