I started taking NaTasha's (Toshi's) temp 3 days ago. She was 99.9; then 99.5; then 99.7 and yesterday she was 98.7 in the morning. I freaked and thot, here we go!!!! But after a few hours it was back up to 99 and then to 100.3 by bedtime.
Guess she's just practicing... This is the first time I've taken temps to determine labor. Toshi went into labour last year, while I was at work and my daughter was home with her.... and noone knew (no panting, no distress, nothing) until I came home from work and she started pushing. She had 5 pups. 4 born dead b/c of detached placentas and 1 made it a few weeks, but we lost her as well (Taylor - RIP). NaTasha was so despondent and became so dehydrated that I almost lost her too. But vet says all is going well, and we have xrays planned for Tues. I've been monitoring her very closely afraid she will withhold again - so everyone in the house is learning to take her temp!!! Hope to have xray pix to post soon.
