Hi Paula,
Okay the temperature may fluctuate for a day or so. I had this happen with Maggies first litter. I was in the same boat you are now. First you need to take her temp the same time every day. if it drops to 97.8 or 97.9 then you should watch her for any other signs. I actually got fed up with her temp fluctuating and for the last 3 days didn't take it at all. Her and I spent those 3 days together nonstop. We were actually watching the 2nd Harry potter movie when after about 20 minutes I felt a contraction. So I got her in her box and talked to her while she was in hard labor. Other than removing the sac from the 2nd pup I didn't have to do hardly anything.
here is another site with alot of info. Chinaroad Lowchens of Australia ~ Site Menu ~ Thousands of canine articles and links
Hope this helps,
