My dog began to look for a spot to lay down, and didn't really want to move. She shivered alot as well. When they are definitely ready, their water breaks the same as ours, so look for a watery puddle. Try to keep them inside, or an inclosed area so that she doesn't crawl under anything she isn't supposed to. If you want to keep an eye on her. It's really all in the behaviour.
Most dog breeds get large around the middle part of their body. Fill this part and you can probaly tell. If not than call a vet or ask somebody who's been around dogs a lot and can tell. And usually the dog lies around a lot not wanting to play. Others are as playful as usual. Hope this helps! By the way be careful while touching your dog!
if you were talking to a dog it wouldn't understand you so it will be ocward!
She will gain weight and get swollen teats.
If your dog has pups under the house you can move her and the pups inside. Moving the pups will not make her stop feeding the puppies. Mother dogs are very protective of their puppies, so be careful when you move them and do not let anyone she does not know near them.
Usually a father dog does not know his pups
Pups have big feet. Pups also have a puppy nature. They can be clumsy and more playful than other dogs. Pups can have big ears too.Answer Most shelters will be able to tell you a guess about a dog's age. If they are not sure, don't rely too much on the "big feet/ears" theory: My three month old has small feet and is no where near done growing, and my aunt's shep mix is six and has large ears...plus usually only large breed dogs have big puppy feet! All dogs can be clumsy nd playful, although i agree pups are more so than adults! If you want a pretty good guess on age, have a vet check the dog's teeth if possible. They can tell a pups age pretty good!
The exact number is hard to tell unless you take her to a vet, but the larger a dog the more pups she is likely to have.
Your gonna have to feed the pups yourself if you don't your pups will die. If the dogs breast are swollen then your dog is sick.
If you have any questions, CALL YOUR VET!!! They can take an ultrasound just like thay do with women.
Because he is the father and has a bond to protect the mother and babies like humans do. And even if it doesn't go that deep, he knows the female dog and pups are part of the household and matter to you. Dogs tend to get a sense about what is appropriate in a house, and they can tell when something isn't right.
It is unlikely, but sometimes the injections fail and the dog is still able to have pups.
It depends a lot on the dog, but generally it takes at most two to three days for the mother to feel that her pups are safe.
Take her to the vet and get her an X-ray. It will tell how many pups and when they need to arrive.
