For 5 years now only one of our gals did not drop her temperature below 98.5. The temps should drop and stay relatively low for 12-24 hours until labor starts.
If she is acting ok and you can still feel puppy movement then I would not be overly concerned. What day is she today from her first breeding? |
The puppies are still moving. She is on day 60. Do you think I should check her temp every 2 hours? (She hides everytime I bring out the termometer).
