Hi I decided I would keep track of Starr's pregnancy from beginning all the way to the end when puppies leave. I will start with information on the parents Starr is 3½ years old she has had two other litters. Her first litter she whelped great needed little to no help she had 6 puppies in that litter. Her pre-pregnancy weight before the puppies was 8 pound during the pregnancy she was a whopping 12 pounds after she had the puppies she was 9 pounds. Her second litter was 5 puppies she did have a c-section one of the puppies turned blocking the birth canal 4 puppies made it the puppy that turned sadly did not make it. Her weight during that pregnancy was a whopping 14 pounds. After she had them she was 10 pounds but with some extra walks and putting her back on adult food we got her down to her ideal 9 pounds. The dad he has had lots of great litters mostly black and but has had red in the past. Dad is 4-5 years old he only weighs 8 pounds. He has a very masculine body compared to Starr who is more feminine. For example she has a show lineage and he has a working lineage. So I am hoping to bring the lines together. The colors I am expecting are red, black and tan, and brindle. Mom always has at least 1brindle in her litters.

So the vets are going to check her put her on some anitbotics to clear the infection and she will be back to her happy healthy self. We are hoping it's nothing serious because she is still happy, eating, drinking, playing, and has no fever. So fingers crossed. We might get her pregnancy confirmed today also. We can do an ultra sound or get her palpated. Hope for lots of little puppies 
They wouldn't be able to feel until April 3rd that's the earliest I can get her palpated. So I am counting from the first tie once again. Wish I would have looked at my calendar before the apt. 
So she is 4 weeks from first tie and 3 weeks from last tie.
She might be bleeding because she keeps licking herself. So we will watch her and stop her from licking. The second part of this the doctor did an unauthorized ultrasound and palpation in the back and couldn't feel the puppies. But I am not worried because if she would have asked or told me what she was going to do I would have told her not to bother because it was too early she was 21 days from first tie and only 16 days from last tie. So we are counting from first and last tie. We won't know for sure until the middle to end of April.
YIPPEE we are finally in the middle of the pregnancy 
. It will get here within 1-5 days I am so excited
