21.09.2018	swab sample positive, it starts 🙂
23.09.2018	since today, the dark red blood stains on the floor can no longer be overlooked
01.10.2018	11th day: Progesterone test (mornings), value at 2.1 ng/mL
02.10.2018	12th day: Progesterone test (afternoon), value at 2.88 ng/mL
04.10.2018	14th day: Progesterone test (mornings), value at 7.44 ng/mL
06.10.2018	16th day: Gem is covered by Smoke Sperm travels outside the uterine lining.
	1st week
07.10.2018- 08.10.2018	Sperm reaches the fallopian tubes, which contain mature eggs.
08.10.2018- 09.10.2018	Fertilization of the eggs (in the fallopian tubes).
09.10.2018- 11.10.2018	The fertilized eggs travel to the cervix.
	2nd week
13.10.2018- 17.10.2018	The eggs develop into blastocytes.
15.10.2018	9th day 1st Herpes vaccination
17.10.2018- 19.10.2018	The embryos reach the uterus.
	3rd week The bitch may be suffering from morning sickness due to hormonal changes or tension in the uterus. Feed small meals several times a day to help with morning sickness. If morning sickness persists, the vet may prescribe a medication to soothe the uterus. Some bitches don’t eat anything or at least very little for a few days after the 20th day. As a rule, their eating behavior levels off again afterwards. Many female dogs are particularly affectionate now.
20.10.2018- 27.10.2018	On the 19th day, the germinal vesicles (so-called blastocytes) settle in the uterine wall. These form embryonic vesicles. From the 21st day onwards, many dogs secrete viscous, clear mucus. This is the clearest sign that the mating has worked.
21.10.2018	15th day
23.10.2018	17th day
	4th week On day 22 the embryos are visible. The heartbeat can be used to diagnose pregnancy. Strenuous activities should now be avoided. The protein intake in the feed can be increased. Giving puppy food is very suitable for this. At this point, an ultrasound scan can be used to determine the condition of the pregnancy.
26.10.2018	20th day
26.10.2018- 01.11.2018	The eyes and the nerve cords in the spinal cord are formed. Organ formation begins. In their current state, the embryos are at high risk of defects. Teat development begins.
30.10.2018- 03.11.2018	This is the best time to diagnose pregnancy by heartbeat. The embryos are somewhat walnut-sized and are evenly distributed throughout the uterus.
31.10.2018	25th day Ultrasound appointment: Puppy alert! 😀 waist: 54cm, weight: 23,1kg
	5th week The bitch stops tucking her legs because the weight increases and the puppies turn. The swelling of the female pubic area becomes more noticeable. Please pay attention to the dog’s weight and do not overfeed. Heartbeat is no longer useful as a diagnostic method due to increasing fluid in the uterus.
02.11.2018	Toes, whiskers and claws begin to develop.
05.11.2018	30th day waist: 58cm, weight: 24,0kg
08.11.2018	The development of the organs is complete. The fetuses now look like dogs. Head and torso are distinguishable. The gender can be determined. The coat color begins to develop. The heartbeat of the fetuses can be heard using a stetoscope. The bitch’s teats become darker and swell.
	6th week Familiarize the dog with the puppy box. Let her sleep there. Increase the number of meals and keep an eye on her weight.
12.11.2018	37th day waist: 66cm, weight: 25,2kg
14.11.2018	39th day
	7th week The dog should no longer play rough games or jump with other dogs. The number and size of the dogs can be determined using an x-ray.
18.11.2018	The bones strengthen. The puppies can now be easily felt under the abdominal wall but are still difficult to count. The hair on the dog’s stomach is falling out.
19.11.2018	44th day waist: 71cm, weight: 27,0kg The minis’ first movements can now be felt under the abdominal wall and if you look really closely, you can even see them
23.11.2018	Feed several smaller meals a day as the tummy is cramped. The movement of the puppies in the womb can be easily recognized by carefully placing the flat of your hand on the dog’s stomach. She has to be completely relaxed to do this.
	8th week The dog is less hungry, which is caused by the lack of space in the stomach. Inform your veterinarian about the expected time of birth and discuss possible problems. Gather the supplies for the birth and prepare everything.
26.11.2018	51st day 2nd Herpes vaccination waist: 78cm, weight: 28,9kg In addition to the herpes vaccination, we also had an X-ray today 🙂
27.11.2018	52nd day
	9th week The dog may no longer have an appetite as the time of birth approaches.
01.12.2018	56th day waist: 81cm, weight: 30,3kg Increase (day25-56): +27cm / +7,2kg
03.12.2018- 06.12.2018	The dog becomes restless and begins to exhibit ‘nesting’ behavior.
04.12.2018	Now measure the dog’s temperature in the morning and evening. The normal temperature varies between 37.5 and 39.4 degrees Celsius depending on the breed and age of the dog. Because of the wide range of fluctuations, it is important to know the normal body temperature (measurements in the 7th week). If the temperature drops by approximately 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius, the puppies will be born within the next 6-24 hours.
05.12.2018	60th day The dog may appear unhappy, restless, pacing back and forth, and obviously uncomfortable. White vaginal fluid may be released.
06.12.2018	61st day Der vorausberechnete Tag der Geburt. Viele Hündinnen werfen zwischen dem 58. und 63. Tag. Einige lassen sich auch bis zum 66. Tag Zeit. Beobachten Sie Ihre Hündin vor allem bei Verspätungen sehr genau. Übelriechender, dunkler Ausfluss ist ein Alarmzeichen, sofort den Tierarzt aufzusuchen. Spätestens am 66. Tag muss ohnehin ein Tierarzt konsultiert werden.

On 05.12.2018 our C litter is born – 7 puppies, 2 bitches (1 yellow, 1 black), 5 dogs (1 yellow, 4 black)
