Gracie has carried till her 64th day both times. Throughout her pregnancy (especially her last week), the temp fluxuates but stays around the 99 degree range. Her temp dropped to the low 96 degree range her first time and in the 97 degree range the second time. After the initial drop, it'll stay there for a couple of hours and then start to creep back up. Her temp would actually climb in the high 100 degree range. Within 24 hours, we had pups.
During the final week, I would take her temp 4 times a day and when we got close to the whelping date, 5-6 times a day.
