Hello All,
My bitch is currently showing signs of labor. This is her first litter and xrays show 6 puppies. Today, the 3rd is the 54th day of her gestation. Her temperature is 98 degrees and seems to be holding steady. I don't know what it was yesterday as I wasn't planning on taking it until tomorrow. She is laying on her side and panting and showing signs on nesting. She seems to be as comfortable as is possible. I called my vet but his office which is closed sent me to the emergency vet here in town. They told me that this was the first stages of labor and didn't seem to be concerned that she was at 54 days. I've tried my best to locate my regular vets phone number but it seems impossible.
Any advice guys? Any suggestions? It seems early to me.
Thanks,
