my world is about to get hectic.

[biggcliff]

A few weeks ago I got the itch for another puppy. Adding a 3rd corso to my pack was called excessive/obsessive by a few friends. So long story short I had commited to adding another baby girl to the pack from Sforza kennel in Serbia.
Here where the story gets to the "uh oh" part. A few weeks ago i posted a thread wondering if a pregnancy could happen without I tid....well im starting to think that did happen to me. Im seeing a great deal of teet enlargement. Lack of energy. Unwillingness to be more that 5' away from.me. The male pup I have has taken an interest in her teets as well.

Lord help me. 2 year old girl, 1 year old boy, 3 month old pup and an immaculate conception litter. Insanity

I'll say a prayer for you: You need it. Could we have some pictures?

Pregnancy test time?
im a bit confused from post, you have a male and female cc currently, and a new male pup. There has been a hump with no tie between your exhisting pair. Have i got that right?

If i have, i recommend whisky, with ginger wine, topped up with ginger ale, every 20 mins till you dont give a shit. Oh boy, life often sends us lessons we need, not want.
my heart goes out to anyone expecting a litter, having a mate who breeds, put me off for life!

Morning after pill. Its available for dog in uk, not sure about where you are?

 

[biggcliff]

You have it right except for i have a new female pup on the way in a few weeks

One word...WOW!

How long ago would the mating have taken place? If more than 30 days take her to the vet and have them perform an ultrasound so that you know and are prepared if that should be the case. She could potentially just be having a false pregnancy an the body does everything the same as if she was pregnant.

 

[Mooshi's Mummy]

^^that^^. if she is pregnant you need to know NOW, if she isn't then you need to know that just as much.

 

[biggcliff]

She started her heat around july 15 or 16th so im guessing a week or two after that. Hard to say for sure. It prob over 30 by now.

 

[BlackShadowCaneCorso]

Book her for an ultrasound, no point in worrying for nothing. Have it checked and if she is empty then you are fine, if not then start researching and getting your supplies and stuff ready.

 

[biggcliff]

Ive been doing alot of research now in hopes to jinx myself into it being a false. Her teets and area around are noticeably bigger. She also gets sluggish after only around 15 mins into our daily walk. It looks like every single sign appears to be happening

 

[jersey girl]

When are you taking her to the vet to find out for sure?

 

[biggcliff]

Vet appt weds.

 

[2nd Chance]

Ultrasound my word. That's an expensive way to find out if a dogs pregnant!
A urine sample will do just as well. but they have to charge a lot less for a pee test i guess.
Good luck at Vets, hope mum is well and not pregnant after all.
And if she is, good luck anyhow

 

[biggcliff]

Yup. Shes pregnant.

 

[BlackShadowCaneCorso]

Start researching, and get your supplies ready! warn your work you are going to be need some time off as you could be delivering during the day or through the night so need sleep after that. If there are particular questions you need help with let us know. Your life is about to get busy and you might want to start advertising and working on a contract for these puppies unless you are going to keep them all. Did the vet give you an idea of the number of puppies to expect?

 

[Mooshi's Mummy]

Ultrasound my word. That's an expensive way to find out if a dogs pregnant!

But a great way to find out how many pups are being carried so you can be properly prepared

 

[biggcliff]

We just did urine I am waiting until closer to guesstimated delivery. I have an appointment around what we have determinded to be days 56-59.

On a side note, ive seen recommended whelp box size to be 4' x 6' is that big enough

 

[biggcliff]

Turns out, hectic was an understatement. Just got back from xrays.....11 freaking puppies in there. Good Lord I have my work cut out

 

[BlackShadowCaneCorso]

Did they give you a rough due date? Have you gotten all your stuff together? Started on contracts for puppies and advertising for the right homes for them? I know it seems like you have lots of time but trust me 8 weeks go fast and you want to be ready for each step along the way.

 

[biggcliff]

I have 3 buyers so far. I have had whelp box together for a week or so.(lucky i decided to go big with a 4' x 6' box). I am networking through two breeders, one here in US one in Croatia. I have all my supplies minus a 250 watts heat lamp (only could find 150w).
