I routinely give all my bitches oral calcium after they’ve had a few puppies so the uterus gets a little boost.īe careful with calcium in pregnant bitches though! It’s important not to supplement during the last 6 weeks of pregnancy or you could be setting her up for eclampsia, also known as milk fever, hypocalcemia or milk tetany any time from late pregnancy to when the pups are a few weeks old. Also have them on hand to give her during the whelping. In that case, and the due whelping date is definitely close, give her a couple of calcium tablets. But with the Whelping Temperature Chart, you are forewarned and therefore forearmed. Low calcium is the biggest cause of uterine inertia.

If your chart shows a temperature that goes in and out of the critical low temperature zone over a few days, that’s usually a warning sign that she is low in calcium. Unless the bitch is heading for uterine inertia (where she goes into labor with a sluggish uterus that yields no pups within a reasonable timeframe) the temperature should stay low until labor begins. This will provide you with an early warning of the birth. How does it work? During the last week of pregnancy you take your bitch’s temperature at least twice, preferably three times, a day. It gives me 24 hours notice that whelping is imminent. So that’s why I use a Whelping Temperature Chart. Some bitches start digging nests days before they whelp, and others only do it during labor. Just going by nesting and whelping behavior is going to lead you up the garden path. So, how do you know whether you should stay home and be with your bitch, or if it’s still safe to go out and leave her for a few hours? Even more important, how can you tell if she’s just about to go into labor and you better set up the couch to sleep on, or if you can go to your own bed tonight?

But unless you know the exact time of ovulation, it’s really just a guess, and a rather rough one at that. Sure, a dog whelping calculator is useful to work out her hypothetical due date. I use a Whelping Temperature Chart with all my bitches to help predict their whelping date.
