Day 28....scan fast approaching :)

Hello Mums not feeling too great so Nana asked me to write this week. I'm Ginge, Mummy had me last year. I think she maybe having brothers and sisters for me to play with :) Mums been acting a bit odd to say the least, she kept being sick and didnt really wanna play :( she didnt even tell me off when I ran around the garden with a frog! Its like she doesnt have the energy. Mum hasnt eaten much and if Nana goes out of the room she gets well upset, crying and whining until she comes back in. She used to sleep with us but doesnt now, Nana fusses over her and she gets to sleep on the bed!!!

Not that much is going on on the outside but on the inside LOTS is happening...puppies would have implanted in the uterus and will be developing fast. Usually you dont see any signs that Mummies are pregnant before 35 days. Nana is convinced Mummy has a bump...what do you think?

In the second picture you can see Mummy has started to lose a bit of hair from around the nipple, which is handy coz us pups get REALLY hungry and the last thing we need to be doing is spitting out hair while having our dinner! Mummy has a scan next Tuesday, Nana is nervous and excited all at the same time! It could be Mummy is having a false pregnancy, some Mummy's suffer badly with them some even think they are in labour and produce milk. So until the scan we shall just have to wait and see. There is a hormone test that the vet can do which would detect pregnancy but its a blood test and very invasive, Nana prefers as little intervention as possible, a scan is ideal, it cant tell you exactly how many puppies an xray would do that and Mummy could have one at 45 days at the vets. Mummy wont though unless the vet suggests that she needs one.

PUPPIES:
Will look a bit like this....

Babies are around an inch long. Around 30 days the eyes that were open till now will close and you can see if they are boys like me or girls. All the organs of the body are fast forming.

Because of the scan next weeks blog will undoubtedly be early if Mummy is pregnant....

Lots of Love and Licks
