Question:

why does my pregnant dog lick the bed?

she is CONSTANTLY licking the bed until there are huge wet spots on the bed! can someone explain?

Answer:

i might say her respiratory is short and rapid because of the stress in her abdomen and chest section from the puppies. The licking of the vulva is in all risk basically cleansing for now. she ought to doubtlessly circulate into hard artwork each time now so shop close tabs on her. have you ever been taking her temp? something around the ninety 8 degree variety might point out puppies with in 24 hours. as long as she looks tender and isn't any longer straining and would not look in misery then she is high-quality. Bringing her to the vet acceptable now ought to rigidity her out extra then help her except she is in misery or is straining and not generating puppies.
I have older dogs that do that also , and they are not preg. it is just something they like to do and it could be she is cleaning a spot for her puppies.
She probably likes the smell of it. If you spilled any food or drink or even perfume on the bed that could be what's causing it, but just try to keep her away from the bed or spray it with a no chew spray. (The spray makes it taste bad so she won't want to lick it.)
Keep her off the bed. She might be planning to have her puppies on the bed. Pregnancy does weird things. What does your breeding mentor and all the research you did before allowing her to breed say? Edit. I see you have plans to go to Florida by plane next month. They will need to be postponed for quite some time if you have a pregnant dog. You are the owner of that dog, and should be there for the birth. Not put it on someone else to have to deal with. A responsible owner stays with the dog for the whole pregnancy, whelping, and puppy rearing until puppies go to their new homes. Otherwise get a spay/abort done on Monday if you aren't going to be with the dog the whole process.
