| Yorkie day 55 and has a temp drop?? Hi everyone.. I'm new on here. My yorkie is just entering day 55 of her pregnancy. She seems completely normal in her self and is just laying down sleeping but I've just taken her temp before going to sleep and it's at 98.0?? I took it earlier at 2pm and it was 99.8. She has clear vaginal discharge (has had this for the last week and a half).. Fussy with her food. Pups are very active and can see them moving very easily. I also heard their heart beats today. I'm just worried about this temp drop? She's laying down at the minute.. No shaking, no panting, no restlessness etc... What's your views on this? Thank you all in advance. Kind Regards |

| She may just be having some low blood sugar if she is not eating much. Try to get her to eat and see her her temperature goes back up. Also, sometimes when the pups drop the temperature may go down and then back up. Just keep a close eye on her.

| Please confine her when she is nearing her due date....do not allow her to walk all over the house....this is conducive to finding puppies in all kinds of little hiding places, if she has them early. My females are confined and isolated from other animals starting two weeks prior to due date...that gives momma plenty of time to get used to her whelping pen, so she is comfortable in that specific crate and the box she is going to care for her little family in. She is settled and calm when she goes into labor. Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 02-04-2014 at 11:40 PM. |

The most important thing is to not put the expectant momma in a situation where she is in a pen jumping up and down trying to get out.

| Thanks BJH... Poppy is very attached me to right now so locking her away would do her more harm than good and it will stress her out. She follows me everywhere now.. Even to the toilet. Each and every person does certain things differently but we all have to do what's right for us and our dogs. Poppy is fine today, no signs of impending labour. I shall be taking her temperature again shortly. I'm hoping it's stayed up. She's 55 days today.. If she did give birth would the pups survive?? Kind Regards |

| Hi new on here but have been showing and bettering the breed for some time now. Some females will have the tempeture drop like mentioned so many times. But one of my females once was driving me crazy with the up and down on tempeture. I was just starting to breed. My mentor said not all females go by the tempeture rule. Some can have a normal tempeture and whelp just then. good luck on your litter. |

| Hi 'Silly Yorkie'... Thanks for your message. I'm just hoping she holds on a little longer as she's only 55 days today. No other signs/ symptoms other than the temp drop last night. Kind Regards |

| She does have quite a large amount of discharge. Clear stringy stuff. Had this for a couple of weeks.. She's had more today. I've had to clean her a couple of times as her bits got stuck together. She can't really clean her bits ATM as she is really big. Kind Regards |
