Help Peyton's Temp Dropping

[BaileysMom2008]

So quick question .....Well a few questions...


First, as far as a temp drop ... does the temp stay down the whole time or can it go back up??

At 11:15 When Peytons temp was taken it was at 97.2

Her temp was the following so far today

07:23 am Temp @ 99.6
11:15 am Temp @ 97.2
12:26 pm Temp @ 99.1
02:19 pm Temp @ 98.8
03:00 pm Temp @ 99.3

So im not sure if that was her drop when it hit 97.2 @ 11:15.

Second, Will the puppies be moving alot after they are lined up?? How will you know if they are lined up ready to go?

Third, will her tummy be really hard when she is ready to go??

All help is welcome and appreciated.

** She also is still acting normal ...all she wants to do though is sleep all day. She lays down for a little bit and then moves to a new spot.

I say if it went down to 97.2 it will probably be soon. Yes, it does go back up. That's why it is often missed. That was probably the drop since it is way below the normal ones she's had. Her tummy will get hard with each contraction. You will feel the outlines of the "puppy lumps". I haven't noticed much movement of puppies once they are in labor. Hopefully it will be today.

My sentiments exactly!!

[BaileysMom2008]

Ohhh I hope soooo i want those furbabies ......NOWWWWWWWW

So if it was at 11:15 when she had the drop (temp was checked two times just to make sure no error in temp.) how long before she would deliver them?? Also is there a chance the temp can drop like that and no babies come till a day or days later???

from what i read in another thread ...a breeder there had puppies about 18 hours after that big drop...by the way her drop was 97.9.....then back around 99.0 till puppies....her drop was at 10:30pm and puppies were being born at 4:45pm next day.....so that is around 18 hours at the most....

[BaileysMom2008]

Oh that would be great to have puppies sooon!!! I cant stand it anymore....LOL

I was so excited i saw that she was digging in one of her whelping areas and i surely though that she was nesting... come to find out she was hiding a treat.....

Ahhhh... sorry about that i was hoping we would have puppies together....so she was having a false pregnancy??? What all did the vet say?? Did the vet say she would go through the labor? Good Luck on Sadie!

i guess i know about false pregnancy now.. darn it..
but better for lucy..
she didnt say anything about labor
maybe its all my fault
but she does have milk
weird
she didnt say too much
just that she is very healthy and now we have a baseline xray

but they were all laughing
very embarassing
but i sure learned my lesson
i was feeding her like she was pregnant
i think lucy understands though
i will be treating her very different today
its not her fault though

i told her she can have puppies next year
after she loses the extra pound

I hope she is acting completely normal....she just got her belly shaved again as her hair grows fast so she would be ready for the puppies she also got a bath and she ran around the house as she normally does once she has a bath. No signs of labor or any babies yet..... so not sure if that was really her temp drop .....

[Chloe and Joey]

Just checking in! I hope you are getting some rest.
I cant wait to see these puppies!!
