CONGRATULATIONS!
Thank you VERY much for that info! I did call our Vet, when it was at 102.5, and they said as long as it is under 103, she is fine. I took her temp 3 times the first day (because I wasn't 100% sure about the placenta) and after the 102.5, it went to 102.3, and then at night, 101.8. Today it was back in the 101 range, so I think she is doing fine. I really appreciate you addressing my concerns....THANKS!

She is being such an perfect little Mommy. I hate taking them from her to do the Tail and Claw...I have to take the babies from 12:30 to 3:30 according to the Vet, and I think the Mom is going to be devistated. UGH....I am not looking forward to that.
