I do think taking the temp is important for if it goes down and no progress to contractions after 24 hrs something needs to be done. I had a female whos temp dropped (it was a singleton litter) no contractions so 24 hrs later off to the vet,she was dialated all the way and a shot of oxy was given and we had a pup within a hour. If I would have not been taking her temp I would not have known she was in labor for she was eating no nesting and did not act like she was in labor at all ,she was playing with the other dogs also A watched yorkie never whelps they say sometimes I feel it is true.
Jewels who is due next here dosent have many signs of labor either except the temp drop and she hides.Good luck |
Same with Allie.
But I cant remember if her temp dropped or not from last year?
Rrrrrrrrrrrrr
