It is possible that she has a very small litter (one or two pups) and isn't showing much. It's also possible that she's having a false pregnancy which can show all of the signs other than getting big. From personnal experience and a solid week of staying up every night, I suggest going on to the vet and find out for sure. We always have ours checked about half way through, but a few months ago, we had an unfortunate incident with a car that ran a stop sign and slammed us, the night before our appointment for her xray. This caused us to be unable to go, until it was close to her due date, so I just decided to watch her closely. Mistake.Mistake.Mistake. I dealt with the appearance of onset of labor for days and days with all signs (digging,temp drop,milk,licking,mucus drainage and so on),,,,,but no real labor. We finally did suck it up and go on to the vet, and of course no puppies. Never again will I push off the xray , if I have to drag my beaten body out the door into a taxi to get to the vet. Not having to worry and wonder from now until after her due date would be worth your 60 bucks.
