Hopefully Babies for Langarni Basenjis.
-
Can you post a picture of her while pregnant? I'm just wondering "how" pregnant a trim basenji usually gets.
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 :D ;)...
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 ??? :)
-
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.
-
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..:) -
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 :D
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 ???
-
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 :)

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
-
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
-
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

According to my vet, their temperatures normally lower at night. She told me to take the temperature once in the morning and once at night and to try for the same time so then if it dropped compared to the other readings at that time then I would know to be prepared. Rio was opposite of what she said to expect, warmer at night and colder in the morning but she was very consistent.

Oh..I am so excited for you and nervous too..it will all be good..keeping my fingers crossed and sending good vibes to all of you..keep us posted.:)
