Monday night - 100.2
Tuesday morning - 100.4
Tuesday night - 100.4
This morning - 100.3

She gets so angry with me taking her temp. She wants to be right beside you all the time and have you rub her belly. According to the vet, the x-rays shows 5 puppies, but I can only see 4.

Please let me know what you think in regards to belly dropping.
Her dropping is a sign that she's getting close....I don't know the size of your girl, but with 4 puppies, I would bet that she'll carry them much past her first due date.....

You're taking her temperature much too soon....I'd wait until her due date....you're stressing her out and you need to keep her as stress free as possible......
