| Whelping, temp 98.6 - 99.4 Hi, I am new to the this site. I have 3 yorkies My sweet Lady, whom weighs just about 8 lbs and is on day 62 of her 2nd pregnancy. Chewy my chill 3lb male, and Mocha my beautiful bouncy female 6mo old pup. I wanted to see if anyone could give me some insite as to what is going on with Ladys temp. She has not shown any signs of labor yet, but her temp keeps bouncing around. Last time it started dropping and kept dropping until she delivered. Has anyone else experienced this? |

| First of all welcome to Yorkie Talk. I have seen a lot of members on this forum that have experienced the same thing with their pregnant females. Is your female eating well? Sometimes the lower temperature is just due to low blood sugar. You can give her a little Nutri-cal or karo syrup and water and her temperature may come back up. Hopefully she will have them soon. Please keep us posted on how she is doing and best wishes for a safe whelping. |

| Thank you, She has been awfully picky this time around, I will make sure I make note of the blood sugar. She is very large this time, I'm expecting a big litter, compared to her 3 pups last time. I have my whelp kit ready and she has taken to her whelp box with ease this time. I'm hoping we go tonight! |

| Good luck on your whelp. Now, I have seen some that have been huge have 2 or 3 babies, but, the babies have just been big. Please let us know when you have your new babies. |

| Lady does not leave my site for the last few days of her pregnancy. I always keep her close, I would feel terrible if something were to happen and I wasn't around! I'll keep you posted on her puppies |

| temp jumping Yes I had that happen to me with molly 4 weeks ago. Never has it been so eratic, it make me a nervous wreck, up one day down the next. It just kept jumping around finally on day 65 she had them and that was her hardest labor ever. She only had two but one was breach. Thank goodness I was their for her. I wish you the best of luck. I think every thing will be fine. Give it a few days. Keep us in touch. blonchillin |
