Oh and I have a question about taking temperature- It's impossible to do, with Roxie. She screams, yelps, cries, and squirms like crazy. I feel like if I try to just do it quick, I'll puncture an organ because of how violently she thrashes around. Even the vet and the vet tech yesterday weren't able to get a temperature from her! So what should I do? Is it really necessary to take her temp often when she's due? Can I just feel her belly with my hand? Because I know that her belly is always flaming hot, and I'd assume when it drops she'd just feel "normal" (like a person) or even cool.
