milli day 59 temp drop. advice please Temp 38.2 tue eve, 37.8 wed morn, 37.9 wed eve, thurs morn 36.7. she is day 59 and is expecting 4 puppies. She had no breakfast went to bite the male dog(out of character) millies first whelp and mine, i having been reading for the last 4 weeks but now the time is coming closer i am nervous. She is still walking round in between sitting on my knee i have took her to her bed but she wont stay on her own. Clear vaginal discharge, but no other signs, panting digging etc. How long approx from temp drop will she start contractions, is it about 12 hrs. i been on debbie jennson website every day which state they should have a temp increase before decline but this has not happenend any ideas what going on . Thanks inadvance. I will keep updating when get further signs. |
I don't always experience an increase before decrease. It is possible that you missed the spike, depending on the time of day it spiked. I have always had pups within 24 hours of a temp drop that remained down. I would not leave her side. It sounds like puppies are VERY near. |
Ellie had days where her temp would rise, drop, rise, drop and then rise again. It about drove me and her both crazy. Ellie didn't drop her temp the day that she whelped. The temp can also increase as soon as it goes down so it could be that you missed it. She didn't start digging and nesting and breathing hard until 15 minutes before she had the first puppy. It went rather quick for her. Just hang in there and don't stare at her. That could make her delay her delivery. |

I would be very concerned about 59 day puppies. |
Hi the first day she tied was 27th jan. i have just done her temp again it 37.7 so has gone up again, her teats seam to have developed more today, i have just washed them no milk present as yet, she seams restless wont go in her bed she been walking around all afternoon. THANKS |
She's probably getting ready. Ellie laid down all day and could tell that she didn't feel good. She went into labor that night. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Just remember, don't hover because she can actually delay her own labor. She may be waiting for it to get quite and dark too. |
got to day 60 thankfullly, temp still remains low at 36.6 she ate her breakfast and seems happy enough in herself this morning, puppies moving around, so hopefully not today i would like her to go to the 63 days. |
Glad to hear that everything is okay. She will probably make it and the puppies will be fine. I know the waiting part is harder on the owners than it is on the dog. I pray that your whelping goes well. |
day 62 still no puppies temp as been 37.3 for 24 hours, remains eating and energetic all of a sudden, no loss of mucus plug, seems happy. if it gets to day 65 and still no puppies would you contact vet, how far do you let them go over. No signs of milk yet according to deb jennsons web site should be seeing some now is that not always the case? thanks |
from what i understand they can go up to day 67 then if nothing i would call the vet and she is acting okay so i am sure she is fine my little lady had pups nine weeks ago and she didnt have any milk come in until they where born! so thats not the case all dogs are different and there temp can change so fast i wouldnt get all worked up over the temp because my little lady flucuated like crazy she will let you know when it is time she might eat a little or not at all! good luck and hope to here something soon! |
