Breeding Brain Teaser!!

robertmcphee Feb 11, 2006 08:04 PM

I had already given up on this girl presuming she did not take.
I had introduced the male with her in Mid-October, and she ovulated mid November (unfortunately no Pics)

She ovulated huge on Nov. 28

No noticeable swelling after ovulation and
No Post-Ovulation Shed

Finally shed after spending the last three or four weeks on the heat on Feb. 6th '06

Then this tonight......

She has been leaning a little bit for a couple of days, but this was crazy.

Now the stumper:
Is she gravid, I would think yes!
If she is how the heck do I figure out her due date.....

I figure I would go about 120 days from known last ovulation, does this seem to be a good way.

So new due date.......March 29?

Thanks for any input.

Um... Bob, I'd probably just say she's not and be surprised if she does drop. That way you don't pull out the few remaining hairs on your head waiting for an unknown due date.
