The Number is In

Click on photo for larger viewWillow has 6. I have sent the xrays to my repro vet yet. I will let you know when she thinks she is due. That means 18?

Her anal gland has been expressed. I tried but it wouldn't express for me. It is still swollen but not punctured. It will heal.

----

From repro vet:

I see 6 pups on this radiograph as well.  I believe she is due as you expect on August 5th - this Thursday.  Due to her size and groaning with 6 pups present, I would not be surprised by August 4th either.  

I am glad the anal gland was not too much of an issue. 

Good luck!

Michelle

From me: We are on watch despite the dates She is not happy with me picking her up and I will not be taking temperatures as I assume she is just too sore there. So, we will watch for other signs.

My dear Willow, I wish her all the best. Does she feel okay now?

She was semi expressed. They did not burst. She is on antibiotics and should heal. I shaved a larger area there so she stays extra clean. I feel bad as today she is absolutely uncomfie but if she holds out till Thursday, it may be healed quite a bit. Glad we caught this now. She's in the - I am so bursting stage.
