You are under estimating the will of a Basenjis

the will of a pregnant basenji at that….;);):):):D:D

[Kipawa]

Can you post a picture of her while pregnant? I'm just wondering "how" pregnant a trim basenji usually gets.

No No NO…

It cant happen, it wont happen, will it ??? Surely she wont be able to scale a baby gate, that she cant get over whilst not pregnant :eek::eek: Please dont tell me she might !!! I already am scared witless, I dont want to have to worry about her trying to get over the gate as well ;););)

I will get Mr Saba to help me put up a pic of her, today… She is generally such a beautiful slim, trim, fine little lady, and now she looks like a blimp ;)...

I had to laugh at her last night... I was taking her outside for one of a number of wee's she's been doing lately, when she spotted a wallaby... Well off she went to chase it, (on a lead I might add...). Absolutely no co-odination, nor speed, and the wallaby was long gone, by the time she got to where it was... I did laugh at her, Im sure even fat me could have gotten to it faster than she does at the moment :p... Bless her...

Ochre at 2 weeks…

Ochre at 3 weeks…

Ochre at 4 weeks…

Ochre at 5 weeks…

Ochre at 6 weeks…

Ochre at 7 weeks, (yesterday…It was VERY cold, and she isnt a very happy bunny at the moment !!!).

Ochre's belly shot…

Well I really hope they have come though... I still have NO idea what to do, but when we have time I will write down EVERYTHING that Mr Saba says, so hopefully I can put more pics up myself :o

So how many little bubbies are in the 'oven' ??? Guesses anyone ???

[curlytails]

Very interesting. I have not seen many pregnant dogs (or overweight basenjis, for that matter) before. There's no mistaking what's going on!

I'll take a wild guess and say… FOUR! I have no idea.

[Janneke]

What a pretty girl!! She's definitely pregnant I think she'll have four, three girls and a boy

You have to post pics more often!! They are great!

[renaultf1]

I'm saying 5 (3 boys, 2 girls)…btw, she looks much like my Ruby did when she was pregnant - like a pygmy goat!

[Basenjimamma]

She is glowing :), I love her belly bump. Pygmy goat is exactly what she looks like to me as well..
I think 4 as well, but two and two..
Yes for more pictures..:)

[tanza]

LOL, she looks wonderful… and certainly pregnant!.... I am going to guess 5 also, but 3 girls and 2 boys....

[Kipawa]

LOVE her preggy pictures! Thanks so much for posting them. At the six week mark it really became very noticeable. My guess is 5, but I am saying 3 boys and 2 girls.

[saba]

Thanks everyone…

Im very happy with my gorgeous Ochre's pregnant tummy :)... She is doing very well, no morning sickness, just still crabby with anyne who comes near her !!! I think I felt some bubbies moving last night. Cant be 100% sure, but I think I did :)...

Im glad nearly everyone says about 4-5... Ive had a couple of people say a bit higher, but right from the start Ive thought 5... Im hoping for a nice boy for me, then all the other orders Ive got are for girls, so if I could have 3 boys to choose from, the rest girls, I will be VERY happy

Booked for an x-ray for Monday 21st, which is also piccy day, so that will be interesting...

Just a question ??? For those that x-ray the week prior, do you need to sedate the bitch for the x-ray ??? Not at all something Im going to do, but it has been mentioned ???

[lvoss]

They do not need to be sedated for the x-ray. Rally, TC, and Rio were all good for their x-rays.

[tanza]

Mine were never sedated for xray…. no problem at all. One tip I will advise is try and make sure that she has "pooped" before the xray, as the feces can "hide" or blur a pup.... or at least they have on mine.

[saba]

Thanks guys…

I did think it was a bit excessive, so I just wanted to check... I cant imagine it being a problem, with her moving on th table, she's really finding it a bit difficult to move at all :).

Good tip Tanza, will make sure shes as empty as can be !!!

Whelping box is half done, Mr Saba is doing a great job on it... Very happy

[saba]

Well we are just back from the Vet, after having Ochre's x-ray…

She has 6 little 'buns in the oven' :eek:... I thought she had popped out a lot from her 7 week photo. She is 8 weeks today... Will get that pic up soon I hope... Just need to wait for Mr Saba, who is currently finishing off the whelping box :D...

She is day 56 today, and as a maiden I have no clue what her birthing pattern will be like, so I was wondering what day should I start to take her temperature ??? Have heard that B girls like to go closer to day 60 than day 63, any truth in that ???

Getting very excited, but very nervous too :p

[lvoss]

Did you do progesterone testing? The one thing my girls actually seemed to do "by the book" was whelp 63 days after ovulation based on their progesterone tests.

[saba]

Yep she was prog tested, she was 35.3 I think, (not sure what that is in your scale…), the day she went from here to Melbourne, for the mating... She had a 35 minute tie that night, and that was it. She came back to Tassie 2 days later.

Forgot to add in my last post that the U/S found 2-3 blobs... So many of you ended up with double what the U/S said... I guess Ochre must have a little hidden American blood in her, either that, or she was listening to me when I was telling people, cos she doubled what seen as well :D:D:D

[saba]

Ok, this afternoon at 5pm, I took Ochre's temp and it was 37.4, so thats ok, I just need to keep an eye on it… Its now 11pm, and I was going to go to bed, so I thought I would take it again, and 15 mins ago it was 36.9, so now Im just starting to panic, wondering if I have managed to actually catch her drop, before the babies are to be born :eek:

Dont think I will be getting much sleep tonight, or am I starting to panic too early ??? :o
