Schrödinger’s Puppies
Tuesday, October 6th, 2020I’ve spent the last three weeks “is she or isn’t she”-ing. And SHE IS! Today was Alice’s ultrasound and she’s pregnant! My awesome repro vet Dr Claudia Gray thought she saw six and one resorption site (she says that is totally normal and not a concern).
I’d been leaning more towards “she is” over the last week or so after being pretty sure she wasn’t. Just in the last few days she’s been more sucky and cuddly, has seemed a bit nauseated or “urpy” (although she’s eating like a Labrador), her nipples were pinker and larger, and she’s been a bit snarky (for her, which is not very snarky) at the other dogs.
Hurdle one was getting the breeding done (go me! My first AI worked!).
Hurdle two was finding out if she was pregnant!
Now we just have to hope for an uneventful and healthy pregnancy and then an uneventful and easy whelping!
X-ray is booked for November 3 and the official due date is November 11 plus or minus a day.
Now we wait!
