All quiet at 3am and 6am but at 8am she rushed outside and started digging under a bush, and lying down and licking her bottom. She was most unhappy I made her come back in. She is having shivers, has rejected her breakfast, and her temperature has gone off the bottom of the chart at 36.3 C. No discharge or evidence of waters breaking yet.
She does not want to go in the whelping box – her 2nd choice apart from the bush, is under the table. Seems a bit ungrateful when I have made her a 4 poster bed style cave in the whelping box. I will spend the day sitting in there with her.
So stage 1 has finally begun. I am expecting this to take a long time but maybe a puppy by tomorrow
Will keep you informed during the day
Woo hoo at last go on Darcy
