| Is this the temp spike we are looking for? Today is day 64. Molly's temp was 100.0-100.5 early this week, then the past few days was 99.5ish. Today it dropped to 98.4ish and stayed there all day (not sure what it was like the night before). I just took her temp now and she is back up to 99.9 Is this the "spike" in temperature that we are looking for giving us a 12-24 hour heads up? Shes been clingy all day but is eating and pretty normal other than that. |

| I'm not sure, I don't think so. Shes a little out of sorts wanting to cuddle with my husband and I, but her eyes are pretty "alert" if that makes sense. |

| Some girls do not display a lot of the classic signs. My little girl had pups last night. Her temperature was up and down like a yo-yo all last week. Sunday morning she got up and was shaking but she ate normally, played as usual and slept comfortably. About an hour before she started to push she just got slightly restless. No nesting behavior, nothing out of the ordinary. First real classic sign was when she started to push. You just have to watch them really carefully and it'll happen when it happens. Be prepared at any time.

| Soon Maybe??? Quote:
The other thing you can check, is while she's standing, see if you can see the ridge of her spine....then feel to see if the pups have dropped....if you see any of those signs you are definately near. Now these are things I'm giving you to check for....doesn't always happen.

| I do this too, I write down everything, keep a diary on each girl it really helps to do this. (but then at my age I have to write everything down)

| With my girls, I have noticed it looks more like their bellies have fallen and are much closer to the ground. That's why you can see the back bone ridge easier. Also my girls will lay on their sides a lot and stretch out, it helps the puppies stretch out in the uterus and line up in preparation for the birth.

| Ok, so I do think that the puppies have dropped. Her stomach is narrower but lower. How long does it usually take after that has happened? She nests in the box when Im in the room, but if I don't stay she follows me out. |

| No set time, pretty much anytime after this happens.

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Mine go 12-24 hours after it drops again...below 99 It has always worked for me. This is the only sign I get. Most of mine are up and running around then jump in my lap and start pushing..lol
