My pregnant dog is overdue and lethargic. Is she okay?

Hi my name is Alan, I have a heavily pregnant cavachon. She’s now 3 days overdue. She’s very lethargic and is in her cage a lot lying down. Is this normal? Also is it ok that’s she gone over her due date? Thanks in advance

Hi Alan. A dog's pregnancy can last between 58-68 days. If Bella is more than 69 days pregnant, this is not ok and she has to see a vet immediately. I would take her into a vet now to get checked out.
