Is my pregnant dog's wet spot on the carpet pee or water breaking?

Hello, sorry to hear about Xena. She may be going into labor soon. Monitor her for any signs of labor without producing any puppies as this could indicate that she is having a dystocia. Signs may include lethargy, panting, vocalizing, pain, and eventually dullness. Otherwise, ensure Xena has a padded area that is warm and dry for her to deliver her puppies. Best of luck and hope this helps.

If your [pregnant dog](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/pregnancy/) is having some fluid discharge and she is at or near her due date, expect her to have her pups soon. Confine her to an area that is quiet (if she isn't already in a whelping box) since noise or stress can cause her to delay the delivery. If you've been [monitoring her temperature](https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-take-your-pet-s-temperature-in-7-easy-steps/) and it has fallen below 100 degrees, the pups should come in the next 24 hours. [As labor nears](https://www.petcoach.co/article/whelping-giving-birth-in-dogs), she may become agitated, getting up and down or licking herself. Once you see firm signs of labor, simply monitor her. Most dogs will deliver a litter without human intervention. If she does not begin pushing within 2-4 hours of the start of labor, a call or visit to your local emergency vet to ensure everything is still going fine is strongly recommended.

Hi there. If she is pregnant , it may very well be that her water has broken, or that she has passed some urine during contractions. Keep her in a safe place and keep an eye on her in case she has any trouble. Congrats on your new kittens!

If you are seeing clear fluid Soph is likely in stage 2 of labor and you should see a puppy within 2-4 hours. If you think Soph is in active labor and you have seen pushing for more than 30 minutes, or if you see green fluid you should see an emergency vet. They can sometimes check for signs of fetal distress and determine if intervention is necessary or if it is safe to monitor at home.

This can be a normal discharge. She will start to nest, not eat as much and have some milk from her nipples when she is about to give birth. Most dogs don't have trouble having puppies but it's best to keep a close eye on her with allowing her privacy in a quiet area. Good luck with the puppies.

on day 51 she should be about 2 weeks from giving birth. she should start making breasts now, but there will not be milk until shortly before giving birth. she should, by now, also have gained in girth significantly. It would be a good idea to take Princess to a veterinarian for an xray to determine whether she is pregnant, and if so, to determine the number and size of the puppies and whether to expect complications. Leaking urine can have several causes, one being puppies pressing on the bladder, another being a urinary tract infection. Best take her to a vet for a check up.

Hello. This is actually pretty common. Daisy has a large uterus with puppies that is pressing on her urinary bladder. The urge to urinate all the time is very common in late pregnancy. You can either just clean up after her, or put a doggie diaper on. Either way, this will stop once she has her puppies. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
