Question
hi my name is justin, i have a 3 year old female boxer that was breed on April 27th. today is the 64th day and not sure when to expect the babies. What do i i need to look for?

Answer
Gestation is between 58-63 days.

If this is her 64th, you might get her to your vet for xrays.

She should have whelped already.

Every female is different, but she should be "nesting" and restless, not eating, and if you were prepared, educated yourself is whelping, her rectal temperature will go up and drop down, she won't eat, and seem restless.

Get her to the vet.
