Bladder infections and urinary tract infections are fairly common. It take @63 days from conception to delivery date so its way too early to feel any pups. It sounds like this is your first litter. Please do lots of research(should have bben done before mating),ask your vet tons of questions and if you can,find a responsible breeder who can mentor you through this birth. Good luck. Your vet can tell you when it would be best to bring your dog in for a sonogram so he can count the number of pups in the litter.Advice on female boxer?
It is way to early to feel pups. You may not feel pups until right be fore she has them.


She may have picked up an infection from being bred or gotten something from the male. It happens.


Treat it with the antibiotics and hopefully the pups will be fine.


The vet should have prescribed something that will not hurt the pups.


Bladder infections can be common in females and thankfully most clear up easily with antibiotics.
