Full Day Old

Cinnamon doesn't want to leave her pups so a full grooming will happen tomorrow. Right now she goes out and runs back in. This is normal when the pups are this age.

Here is the gallery.

You will see the same pad throughout just flipped over. So each pad has 2 looks.

The pups want for nothing. They have all gained really well. Her milk is fully in.

Mom is eating like she is starving unless you want to give her something like just kibble. Are you kidding? Where is the steak? Yes she had some today. LOL Moms deserve the best, I say!

Videos are always found here. Sometimes it takes me till late before bedtime to upload them but they are done daily. :-)

Sat 1 Dec 2018 - Fri 7 Dec 2018	Week 2 Embryo will be 4 cell at start of week and 64 cell by end of week. Embryo enters the uterus. Feeding small amounts of high protein supplements is good practice.
Sat 8 Nov 2018 - Fri 14 Nov 2018	Week 3 Embryos implants along uterus wall. During the next two weeks the important organs will develop. Her nipples begin to turn pink and enlarge. May loose appetite during this week. Morning sickness may occur.
Sat 15 Dec 2018 - Thu 20 Dec 2018	Week 4 Morning sickness should go away and appetite return. One of the early signs of pregnancy is for the dam to 'adopt' a toy. Development of eyes and spinal cord and faces take shape. The fur on the belly and around the nipples thins.
Fri 21 Dec 2018 - Thu 27 Dec 2018	Week 5 The dNovor may be able to detect pregnancy (85% accuracy) by feeling the abdomen. Diagnosis by x-rays is usually possible after 45 days (95% accuracy for determining the number of puppies). You may be able to feel the little puppies -they would be the small bumps in the abdomen. Development of toes, whisker buds, and claws. Eyes now close and gender can be determined. The puppies are now considered fully developed miniature dogs. She may be showing. She may also gain a little weight particularly if she is going to birth more than 1-2 puppies.
Fri 28 Dec 2018 - Thu 3 Jan 2019	Week 6 During the last several weeks, your dog's nutritional needs nearly double. Feed small meals several times a day. Increase water. Enlargement of mammary glands as nipples darken and enlarge.
Fri 4 Jan 2019 - Thu 10 Jan 2019	Week 7 She may shred papers, blankets or bedding in an attempt at "nest building" in the last weeks. During the last 2 weeks, your pet may become irritable or extra sucky. Moderate exercise is the proper approach. Neither forced rest nor strenuous exercise is a good idea. Short periods of gentle play and short walks are good. You may feel the puppies now but counting them may be a bit more difficult. Definite abdominal enlargement. Abdomen hair will start shedding.
Fri 11 Jan 2019 - Thu 17 Jan 2019	Week 8 Dam begins to spend a lot more time grooming herself. Her breasts become swollen as her milk forms. Nesting begins as she looks for a place to have her puppies. Make sure you have her box or spot ready. The dam may not have as big of an appetite during this period. Her abdomen can be crowded with puppies. You can feel the puppies move now. See if you can get her used to her whelping box
Fri 18 Jan 2018 - Fri 25 Jan 2018	Week 9 Nipples and vulva should be gently cleaned with warm water, you might want to trim the hairs surrounding the nipples, to allow easier access for the puppies to suck. She may express milk from her nipples. Watch for her temperature to drop. You may take it rectally if you want but she's just plain old cool to the touch compared to what she has been the last 8 weeks. She may also become restless, seek seclusion and in the last few days, soil the house. She will be 'nesting' 12-24 hours before the birth
Sat 26 Jan 2018	Expected Date of Whelp. Expected date of whelp. Average is 62 days but may take place from the 58th to the 68th day. Keep watching for that cool to the touch. If you're actually taking the temp, it does drop from 101 to 98 degrees. Appetite will disappear as whelping approaches. May see a clear discharge from the vulva. At onset of labor may pace, dig, shiver, pant and/or vomit. First fetus will be delivered within 4 hours of the onset of labor.
