Temp taking question :confused: :confused: I was wondering if anyone could tell me, if you are checking your little girls temp and wanting to get an accurate reading do you have to add a degree if you are taking with a human digital thermometer??:confused: :aimeeyork |
I've not heard of that before, sorry. I always use a digital thermometer I bought at Wal Mart. |
So even if you're using a regular human digital thermometer and it says 98.2 is it actually 98.2, you don't have to add a degree?? My vet didn't tell me that but my mother-in-law is a nurse and she said she thought you had to add the extra one degree to the temp.... Thanks:) :) |
Temp taking question....... I am wondering if someone could tell me if you're using a human digital thermometer to check your girls temp do you need to add a degree to the final temp. Or is it correct when it stops????? My mother-in-law told me to add a degree but I didn't see anything like that on the whelping websites I've visited... Please Help!!!!:confused: :confused: :confused: |
Hmmm not sure if it's the same or not, but this is one I would use because it's for pets. Best of luck to you! Stay calm, and get your camera ready.;) http://www.admon.com/ |
My vet told me you could buy a regular digital thermometer and use that. She recommended one that has a flexible tip and use lots of KY Jelly on it. She didn't say to add or remove a degree or anything like that. She told me their normal temp is between 100-102 degrees. Good luck! :) |

:) Thanks so much for your help... We got up this morning and Dori started digging a little bit and alot of panting. I am anxiuosly awaiting our new precious gifts... :) |
Good luck.....you'll be running around like a Keystone Cop. Nothing can really prepare you for the 1st time....make sure you have your emergency numbers readily available....once all puppies have been delivered, keep monitoring for a good 2 hours....after that you'll need a nap, but make sure you have someone to take over to keep a watchful eye. Oh! and make you have a post whelping recipe for mother. 1 can of goats milk, equal parts of filtered water, 1 (beaten) egg yolk and 1 Tablespoon of light Corn Syrup.....mixed together....offer this to her in a bowl after she's done. Give her plenty of praise. |
:aimeeyork Thanks for the advise and recipe, I actually seen it posted on another thread by you and I went ahead and wrote down then....:aimeeyork |

Mardelin, is that a raw egg yolk?? So, this is like a liquid that she is supposed to drink after whelping? I suppose it's extremely healthy for her? What if for some reason she doesn't get this recipe? Is she not going to want to eat her regular food? |
You must be sooooo excited!! Be sure to let us know how it's all going and post pics of the new babies!! :p GOOD LUCK to all of you. |
