Pet's info: Small Animal | Guinea Pig | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 2 days old

I have a month pregnant guinea pig that is full term over 63 days and has pelvic bone separation of between 2 and 3.5 inches for about 4 days now..she open and closes but when relaxed is separated at about 3 fingers width.she has no symptoms of toxic sow or dystocia..she's vary bright eyed and otherwise normal,but I'm worried. Is it normal that she has not delivered yet despite full separation

Thanks for reaching out about Story. If you do not have access to a veterinarian, which is recommended, then monitor food and water consumption, activity and demeanor. She just might not be full term yet. Good luck.
