She should have them on or about the 60th day from the last time she was bred, or when the dilation of her vulva went away. Around the 50th day, start checking her temp rectally 2-3 times per day. If it drops below 100, she will have the puppies w/i 24hours and you'll see her ripping up newspaper if you gave her a whelping box. she may start digging. She may even vomit and discharge.

From what I know is that a dog will start acting very excited and laying down a lot within 6 hours of dropping the first puppy. That is when you should have her whelping box ready with black and white newspaper( not color paper). She will start to shred the paper on her own.

My pug is in heat now. The vet told me to have her checked in 55 day's an they would x ray her. to see how many. an see if she can have them on her own. An at that time she can have calcium. so she can deliver them. This is her first litter. Any info would help us. I do know it takes 60 to 63 days from the time she was pup ed to have them. Thanks Puglover31
