One cold afternoon, a visibly distressed pregnant dog appeared at my gate. She was trembling, panting, and clearly in need of help. I didn’t know it yet, but this unexpected visit would become a life-changing moment for both of us.
After a closer look, I realized she was heavily pregnant—likely in the final stages. Pregnant dogs typically carry for 58 to 68 days, and based on her condition, she was at day 63. Labor was just around the corner. Her behavior—restlessness, heavy breathing, and the way she sought comfort—all pointed to her instinctive search for a safe place to give birth.
I knew I had to act quickly.
If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, here’s what to do:
-
Assess her condition for signs of labor: nesting, pacing, lack of appetite, or discharge.
-
Create a calm, warm, and quiet space where she can feel secure.
-
Contact a veterinarian immediately for guidance. They can help you determine whether the dog needs assistance or can deliver safely on her own.
