Yes if I had listen to my vet 2 days ago my 9 pups would of surly died. They wanted me to wait until I seen pushing. Which could get the pup stuck in the birth canal. I called my 2nd vet & rushed her over. They caught her at the perfect time & we had all 9 healthy pups.

[@leaannbaldwin8209]

Thank you so much. I learned this quickly with my first litter and thankfully it all ended well. I went on signs for AI so didn’t know ovulation date and luckily my vet had experience and knew to not take too early or too late so I spent five days driving two hours each way to the vet to have her checked then when she showed the temp drop and failed eating I went down again and we agreed to do section that next morning so I got a hotel there. 4 in the morning contractions started and 6 in the morning one boy arrived and luckily being an OBGYN nurse I had some equipment in my purse to assist with cord cutting. I was blessed to have the baby alive and well and she held out on the rest until the vet opened so yes absolutely I will progesterone test next time for sure. I just need to find a closer vet that will do it

You can buy your own machine! It’s the best investment if you plan to continue to breed.

Thank you James, your a great resource. I will be moving to the Ft. Worth area from CA. I have two Hungarian import black brindles that are full sisters, both carry blue, chocolate, cream, tan points. The one who has proven herself for me, had 6 pups, had 3 blue cream, one platinum, and two brindles. Now, she is getting a rest and her sister who has not taken the last two breedings, one done in Hungary and one supervised by me here in CA, is coming in the next week or so. You taught me about the split heat and I believe that happened last breeding, so I am going into this breeding with a new strategy. Thank you James. When I make it to Ft. Worth I would love to know your vets in Texas.

I appreciate so much all of your knowledge I did a progesterone test on my girl on the dec 23rd her level was 5.88 and then I tested her on the 28th again she was 15.18so we did opted for the TCI instead of the reg AI based on all of you help hopefully we did good we will find out by the 26th for X-ray/ultrasound undecided thank you

[@LoveMyPups]

She ovulated on the 23 you would expect to ai two days later on the 25th. But you ran progesterone and it took her 5 more days to get to 15. I’m glad you did the test otherwise you would have ai earlier and probably not had a litter. I think you got it right and will have a nice litter. Congratulations let me know how it works out.

[@francessalgado8692]

Love My Pups That’s our Hope thank you for your videos if it wasn’t because of them I probably wouldn’t have run another progesterone test. Now I’m wondering if I should count 63 days from day of ovulation the 23 or 60 days from tci like the vet said?? Since the TCI was done twice with fresh semen 12/28 and 12/29 what’s your opinion

[@dinukaperera399]

Hi, James I watch most of your videos. Please I need an advise from you. My American bully female developed eclampsia after two months from her previous (first) delivery. She is again pregnant now after 2 years from her last whelp. Can you kindly advice me the right method and time to administer her calcium supplement? She is 27 days pregnant now but I didn’t give her calcium from day 7.

[@justinebaker6491]

Hi James thankyou for such an informative video. I have a frenchie that has had a sneaky pregnancy with another of my male frenchies. I dont know the dates because of this. I've had her progesterone level done today and its 12. How quickly can this level drop to 2 or below. She has milk. Shes huge, her scan was done 10 days ago and she has 5 or 6 pups, with full skeleton development. Shes got clear discharge, is always picky over food and no nesting. Her temp keeps bouncing below 99 also. Thanks James

[@LoveMyPups]

Progesterone level needs to be lower than three to be safe I’m doing a C-section the temperature should be less than 99 clear discharge is probably the mucous plug it is not particularly meaningful and a progesterone level above three doesn’t give me any indication as to win the puppies are gonna be due

[@KVSKENNELS]

@LoveMyPups my femaledidnt ovulate until day 18 or 19. Did 2 AI's on days 21 at PG level 18 and 23 at 20 something. Ended with 3 pups. Currently they should be coming out at any day now.

Hey question for you what if it was a natural tie and the breeder didn't use pg test for breeding used a color circle test that's not accurate

[@standardanes]

Holy, love your ideas. My female Dane is expecting in 3 weeks. This is her second litter. Her first litter did not go well. We had a power failure, winter, I panicked and took the babies from her as she was giving birth to keep them warm. Also an electrician came in to fix the problem while she was dropping babies and that traumatised her. She licked them clean and bit the umbilical cord but I took them away to keep them warm. I introduced them back to her and she growled at them. I muzzled her and made her lie down. She fed them, no problem, removed muzzle but would not lick them and clean them, so I had to after every feeding. I realise now the mistakes I made. All 13 puppies lived and did well. What can I do if she refuses to clean them again?

Hi James I got my little frenchie her first AI on the 3rd of Jan then twice on the 4th I've been for scans and she does have pups there. I'm checking the dates and she's 8 weeks tomorrow 56 days. I'm wondering if I should book her in now for a c section around the 61 / 63 day mark as you explain but I'm going to go get her a progesterone test either tomorrow or next day is this advisable. It's my first time breeding so I'm panicking a bit about it all incase I get wrong times but I've worked it all out to the days I've put up here. Have you any advice. 🙏

[@raloladiv7980]

Hello James I love your incubator there amazing but also my dog is on her 61 day of her pregnancy and went to do a progesterone test today and came back as a 5 . From your experiences in how many days do you think it will drop below 2 ?

[@LoveMyPups]

Thanks for the shout out on the incubator the problem with progesterone levels is that is so varied the number that’s five is meaningless in terms of how close you are to C-section the only thing that Counts is levels of three or less are safe

Is if my dog had her progestone test done several times and the vet called me on a Wednesday said Friday is the day she wants to do ai but my number then was was like a 5 so I went for another progestone test the next day to make sure it didn’t fall and then it was a 9.9 . So tell me what day do I start my counting ? I ai on oct 29 went to vet nov 27& now my vet is scheduling progestone test day before c/ section which is 58 days from ai .

Did a natural whelp with my frenchie about week ago. We were expecting only 8 from our scan, and our Diamond surprised us with two. So we had 10. Diamond comes from a breeder that has been natural birthing for 30 years. She hasn’t needed to do a c-section. I believe giving the right diet from the start will greatly help with whelping for strength. I think c-section is a last option and a money scheme. Just my experience.

I thought I could trust this vet because they said that they knew exactly their stuff but now I’m concerned that they are not 100% dedicated and knowledgeable as I thought. The doctor wasn’t in yesterday and they weren’t able to tell us when he would be.
