I called the vet and he basically said the same thing you all are saying....To quit panicking and let nature take it's course.. He said that since we do not know when she got knocked up, and since she is not showing any signs, then there is no reason to intervene....I will tell you that her temp has been below 99 for 13 days now so I am not sticking that thing up her butt anymore.. She hates it and it isn't telling me anything other than she is 2-24 hours away for the last two weeks...She was outside alot with me today while Iwas doing yard work, she is eating fine and acting normal.. I don't anticipate any pups tonight but the longer this drags on for all of you, the larger the gift basket will be for the winner...

I just wanted to say I don't know a Yorkie out here that does like their Temps taken...(Correct me if someones Yorkies here does like it) I know none of mine ever liked it.

Are U lubricating U're thermometer up with KY Jelly before U insert it into her rectum??? Make sure U do or U'll hurt her more.

U need to be taking her temp wither she likes it or not...I know it's bothers U and them but it is for her safety and to allow U a little bit of time to know when she is getting ready to whelp...Trust me when her whelping time comes if U don't have any idea it's on it's way U'll wish U would of known...If U know a little ahead of time then U'll have time to get U're last minute items ready & last minute things done so U can be with her when she whelps...U can even maybe take a nap in case she whelps at night.

Here is Tiffanies' Temps before she had her last litter. I started taking Tifs' temps 2 weeks before her whelping due date. But since U have no idea when U're Yorkies' due date is I would take it every morning and evening NOW starting TODAY.

I started taking Tifs' temps in the evening on her 49th day between 8 to 9 pm

Then went to morning between 8 to 9 am & evening between 8 to 9 pm on her 54th day

Then went to 3 times a day on her 60th day, mornings between 8 to 9 am,
between 2 to 3 pm, then again in the evening between 8 to 9 pm.

There is time involved in doing such things as taking their Temps but it is for their benefit as well as for U're own.

Day 49 - 6/6/07- Evening Temp: 99.1
Day 50 - 6/7/07- Evening Temp: 99.7
Day 51 - 6/8/07- Evening Temp: 99.4
Day 52 - 6/9/07- Evening Temp: 99.1
Day 53 - 6/10/07- Evening Temp: 99.6

Day 54 - 6/11/07- Morning Temp: 99.9 Evening Temp: 99.4
Day 55 - 6/12/07- Morning Temp: 99.7 Evening Temp: 99.7
Day 56 - 6/13/07- Morning Temp: 99.9 Evening Temp: 99.7
Day 57 - 6/14/07- Morning Temp: 99.7 Evening Temp: 99.8
Day 58 - 6/15/07- Morning Temp: 99.4 Evening Temp: 99.7
Day 59 - 6/16/07- Morning Temp: 99.5 Evening Temp: 100.2

Day 60- 6/17/07- Morn Temp: 99.6 Mid day Temp: 99.8 Eve Temp: 99.4
Day 61- 6/18/07- Morn Temp: 100.0 Mid day Temp: 99.5 Eve Temp: 99.6
Day 62- 6/19/07- Morn Temp: 99.6...12 pm. Temp: 98.7... 2 pm. Temp: 99.5... 4:18 pm. Temp: 99.7... 6:23 pm. Temp: 99.4... 9:21 pm. Temp: 99.4

Day 63- 6/20/07- 12:36 am. Temp: 99.4.... 6:47 am. Temp: 99.5... 10:15 am. Temp @ Vets: 100.8...(I took Tif to the vet for she was so big and hadn't whelped yet, she checked her vaginally and said she could barley get a finger tip in so it could be anytime...Her exact Words: as soon as I get home, tonight or tomorrow but she didn't expect her to go past the next day)

Notice the Spike (100.8...It hadn't been that high in the 2 weeks of me taking her Temp.) in her Temp then how it lowered???

7:00 pm. Temp: 99.0... 10:54 pm. Temp: 97.5...

Day 64- 6/21/07- 2:51 am. Temp: 97.5.... 5:57 am. Temp: 98.3.... 9:27 am. Temp: 98.3..... Started pushing @ 10:20 am and our 1st puppy was whelped @ 10:44 am....She had 6 in this litter.

Hope this may help U in choosing to take U're gals temp. U need that Temp as a guide in helping U more then ever since U don't know when she is due. I would pay very very close attention to her Temp.

Keep in mind this is just a guideline and what my Tiffanie did with her Temps...Not all Yorkies temps are the same.

I wouldn't let her outside if she is very big..Tif stopped all outside activity and was house bound due to being so big...I didn't want her to loose any babies. Good luck and I wish U the best on U're whelping. Lee
