Cocoa pregnant May 3, 2008 Cocoa Pregnant May 3, 2008 Fri 2 May 2008 - Wed 7 May 2008	Week 4 Morning sickness should go away and appetite return.

Puppys in Xray Puppys Ultrasound Thu 22 May 2008 - Wed 28 May 2008	Week 7 She may shred papers, blankets or bedding in an attempt at “nest building” in the last weeks. During the last 2 weeks, your pet may become irritable and should avoid contact with small children. Moderate exercise is the proper approach. Neither forced rest nor strenuous exercise is a good idea. Short periods of gentle play and short walks are good.. You may feel the puppies now but counting them may be a bit more difficult. Definate abdominal enlargement. Abdomen hair will start shedding.
Thu 29 May 2008 - Wed 4 Jun 2008	Week 8 Dam begins to spend a lot more time grooming herself. Her breasts become swollen as her milk forms. Nesting begins as she looks for a place to have her puppies... Make sure you have her box or spot ready.. The dam may not have as big of an appetite during this period. Her abdomen can be crowded with puppies. You can feel the puppies move now. See if you can get her used to her whelping box
Thu 5 Jun 2008 - Thu 12 Jun 2008	Week 9 Nipples and vulva should be gently cleaned with warm water, you might want to trim the hairs surrounding the nipples, to allow easier access for the puppies to suck. She may express milk from her nipples. Watch for her temperature to drop. You may take it rectally if you want but she's just plain old cool to the touch compared to what she has been the last 8 weeks. She may also become restless, start to dig and "nest" and in the last few days, soil the house. She will be 'nesting' 12-24 hours before the birth
Fri 13 Jun 2008	Expected Date of Whelp. Expected date of whelp. Average is 62 days but may take place from the 58th to the 68th day. Cocoa is usually glued to us and gives us the "look" as if to say "Ok get ready". Keep watching for that cool to the touch.. if you're actually taking the temp, it does drop from 101 to 98 degrees. Appetite will disappear as whelping approaches. May see a clear discharge from the vulva. At onset of labor may pace, dig, shiver, pant and/or vomit. First fetus will be delivered within 4 hours of the onset of labor.<
