Contractions in dogs

Common Questions and Answers about Contractions in dogs

contractions

How close are her contractions? When she has a contraction, can you see a sack in the vaginal area at all? Are you sure there are more puppies? Sometimes there can be some time in between puppies but if she has been pushing this long you best get her to the vet. The puppy may be too large, dead or turned and can't make it through the birth canal. Your female may also need a Pit shot.

This may be a very weird question.I have two dogs and I started to have some Braxton Hicks contractions on Saturday and since then, they won't leave my side at all. Does this mean I'll be going into labor soon? Or does it mean that they know the baby will be here in the next week or so? It's getting kind of annoying being followed from room to room.

Dogs are very sensitive to their people being in pain the dog could be extremely nervous and stressed out because of the labour pains

That was my story, but i usually don't feel like I'm in labor until its too late. I was a week past due date and i decided to do one last speed walk with a little jogging included and the following day i was cleaning right before routine appointment. Well i was about three cm and aster trying to hit a sale right before getting to the hospital, lol, our son arrived in less than 4 hours total of me leaving the appointment. Wow! Natural with four pushes and out flies baby. Good luck.

But for the last two days he has been following me everywhere i go! Even when i go to the bathroom and thats really odd because he will not go in the bathroom since he knows thats where we give him a bath.so i was wondering can dogs sense labor???

Thanks :) just went for a walk with my hubby n dogs still getting my contractions same amount of minutes apart. Also tracking them.

Can dogs seance their owner going into labor? My female dog has been acting odd. Constantly following me and laying by my feet. Today shes been drooling so much and only leaves my side to run outside to go to the bathroom ... im 39 weeks+1 day. I cant imagine shes sick she acts frisky and wants to play..

Right ive had a hot bath and am in bed with a hot water.bottle. No contractions ortightning but still have this belly ache?? And the dogs acting weird following me around crying!!

It's too early, the fetus is teeny weeny inside a nice cushion of amniotic fluid. However, I'd discourage her from launching in such a way, it's not the greatest habit anyway. My son kicked me in the stomach (not hard) in early pregnancy and I lost the pregnancy, and although I pretty much know the two are not related, I stressed about it anyway and emotionally sort of felt like that hurt the pregnancy. You don't want to stress every time Fifi kicks off.

Dont let your dogs be too close to the baby and dont leave your dogs alone with your baby. Get your dogs in a good consistent routine of feeding, exercising, and down time. That will help them adjust to when your baby is here and you wont have all time to focus on them.

i laid down for a min because have been super tired and nausiated and when i stood up to let the dogs in it felt like someone stomped on my pubic area also normal??

Just an FYI I learned the hard way not to let this issue go more than 3days as I ended up in the hospital with contractions and had to have an enema! Give yourself one at home before it goes that far.

Oh wow. I had sciatic nerve pain, that's hard to treat. Just kind of have to wait it out unfortunately. Sometimes it feels a little better when the baby changes position. I have no experience with seizures, but i get frequent migraines that make my nausea worse and make me throw up. So i can sympathize with headaches. Aleve helps me with that. Also, getting enough sleep. As for the doggies, they don't know when it's a good or bad time to share food.

So my husband, son and I took our dogs to the nearby park to walk a 5k. I didn't know if I would make it that far, my sciatic nerve bothered me the whole time, and I now have new blisters on my feet. Yay. Hoping this at least helps to get something started.

Welcome to the Dogs Community! :-) The cheesy white drainage makes me think it's follicular cysts. Basically, the hair follicles get clogged and the tiny sebaceous glands underneath can't drain properly which results in a pimple or cyst. Think of it along the lines of humans with certain kinds of acne. Like humans, some dogs just produce more oil in their skin, and there's not much to be done for it.

I was reading on the net that dogs do not have epilepsy, it is strictly a human condition. I want to believe my vet but.... Will you please explain to me what causes seizures in dogs and what I can di to prevent it?
