Hopefully Babies for Langarni Basenjis.

I am always suprised when I look through my whelping supplies at how much I need. No matter how well prepared I think I am, I always seem to find I missed something. The good thing is that stocking up and prepping the whelping room gives me an outlet for all that anxiety.

Absolutely I couldnt agree with you more. I have spent the day researching Progesterone levels, and this has helped me a bit today…
Leads me to a question :)...
Does anyone know how I can convert the (?) American ng/ml to the Aussie Nmol/l ??? I had Ochre's prog levels done yesterday, and her result was 152 nmol/l, but the articles I have found talks about ng/ml ???
-
You need the molecular weight of progesterone.
-
(152 nmol/L)(314.46 ng/nmol)(1L/1000mL) = 47.80 ng/ml

Oooh, Basenjimamma, please do tell ???
I just got a text from Kylie this am, saying that she thinks Electra is about to get going… Electra is the gorgeous mum of Ochre and Vanda ... Impatiently waiting for her text to let me know that things are starting...
Jennie.
Yes, I am eagerly awaiting for Electra to go as well. Would love a pup from that litter…we'll see, the only downside is the cost of shipping, it is even more then the pup it self..so maybe not this year..ohhh, I want one though...If I could just fly over there and bring one back in my shirt...that would be ideal..haha. -
Thanks Ivoss, I think I will go and find a calculator… My maths has never been any good :o...
Basenjimamma, last night Kylie said she thought she would go overnight, but so far, I havent heard from Kylie, so I dont know where she is at... I did text her, but still waiting for a reply :)...
Yep I think you nearly need to be a millionaire to get dogs shipped around the world ;).
-
Saba, just want to see how your girl is doing…thinking about y'all down under.
-
Thank you, for enquiring, Basenjimamma…
Ochre is doing well. She was 6 weeks yesterday and she is just beginning to pop out :). The poor thing really has a pregnant bladder, always asking to go out, especially at night :)...
Im starting to get nervous, but excited as well... Just feeling a bit alone, cos Mr Saba will be on night duty when she is due, and he is my voice of reason :D. I tend to be a bit panicky, wanting to rush off to the Vets, he can usually talk sense to me :D... Im sure she will be fine. Kylie's dogs seem to come from long lines of free whelpers, so that is reassuring !!!
If I get a chance I will put up pics of the preggy tummy, in the next few days ;)
-
Glad to hear that she is doing fine..how many weeks do they go?
Yes, I would love pictures of preggy tummy, too cute.I saw the pictures of Kylies two litters…adorable..still yearning for one..lol.
-
They have a 9 week gestation, and just writing that, made my heart skip a beat !!! Im getting sooooooooooo nervous…
Mr Saba is off work tomorrow, so I will try to get him to put pic up then...
I got those pics too, last night. I just love looking at them. Having always been a black/white lover, then red/white, then tri, then brindle, I keep looking at the pic of the tri boy with the big white collar... I m...u...s...t... b...e s...t...r...o...n...g... :D.
I doubt I will get a tri with Ochre, but for some reason I have changed my idea, and I am really hoping/praying for a tri boy ;)
-
Such an exciting time for you all. I hope to see wonderful photos soon.
-
You can do it..be strong Jennie…I can't wait to here of Ochre and see pictures too.
-
Im one minute excited, the next scared witless ;)…
Mr Saba is off work today, and he has just one to buy all the stuff to make the whelping box, it is now a reality... Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh ;)
-
Whelping box square is now done… Just have to put the pig rails in, put the waterproof base on, cut out the door, and its all done... Yaaaaaaaaay :D
-
It is moving along nicely..so exciting.!!!

LOL and if your bitch is like any of mine, that is the last place she will want to have her babies!…. Favorite choice of mine was under the bed or in a cabinet behind the pots and pans!

Oh Tanza you just bought back some stressful memories for me ;)
Our very first litter of ACD's, we had the whelping box all set up in our bedroom. She was doing everything really well, when suddenly she decided, (at the very last moment I might add :rolleyes:), to jump up on the totally unprotected bed, and out pops number 1… Thank you Dallie, really appreciate that :rolleyes:...
Eventually get Mum and bub all settled in the whelping box, when once again, she decided at the very last minute, to have puppy number 2, on the bed in the spare room :eek:.
This went on like this for all 11 pups, all the beds were completely stripped and washed, and there was an awful lot of cleaning to do, to get the house all spic and span again :)... She was incredible, the way she just found any spot she wanted, then popped them out, cleaned them, I put them back into the whelping box, and then she was fine, UNTIL the next pup was ready to make an appearance :):):)...
OCHRE WILL NOT DO THIS...
-
Exactly Saba…. that is why all of our beds have water proof fitted mattress covers!...
-
Ahhhhh but Ochre wont be able to get to ANY beds ;). Our beds are on the 2nd floor, with a baby gate stopping anyone from getting upstairs :D…

You are under estimating the will of a Basenji :D
