I use a digital thermometer to check their temperature. You insert it in their rectum. Normal temperature for a dog usually ranges between 100 and 101. If they have low blood sugar their temp can go much lower. How big is your girl? Most likely she is just fine. Females that are not spayed can get a uterus infection called pyometra. It can be deadly if not caught right away. Usually the females that get pyometra will not show signs until they are very sick and they usually get it about 3 weeks or longer after their heat cycle has ended. This is another good reason to get her spayed.
Breeding is a huge responsibility and it has lots of risks for the momma and her babies. Should you decide to breed then you need to do lots of research and hopefully get a mentor that has lots of experience with breeding yorkies.
