Temperature drop to 97.6 - puppies coming????
 

Mindee's temperature dropped to 97.9 at 8:30 last night and stayed there through the night. Temperature started going back up at about 6:00 this morning. This is day 58. She's in her whelping box, ruffling around the blanket some. She has decided she doesn't want to eat at all. I took her out to potty this morning she had a long pee and a poo. I came in and had a quick shower and by the time I got out she had 2 big pees on the floor. She had x-rays done Wednesday and showed 2 puppies. I'm thinking these little puppies are probably going to come sometime today am a little nervous about her being on 58 days. Any thoughts and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Well i wish you good luck

Wishing you lots of good wishes on your birthing.

Thank you. Mindee is very restless right now, licking herself and nesting. Won't let me out of her sight. Puppies in her are very quite this morning compared to yesterday. I'm keeping a close eye on her watching for any signs I've read about, hoping and praying all goes well with her and her babies. Very nervous about her being early (58 days) but trying to stay calm.

Congratulations grandma, doesn't sound like it will be to long now, Lexie had a C-section on day 60, but the vet told me if she went into labor 58 or 59 day the puppies would be okay...hope that helps some....keep us updated..:D

Good luck with the birth! Keep us posted.

At 10 am Mindee's temperature was up to 98.7 and just took it again it is down to 98.4. Is that normal?? Right now she is just sleeping in her whelping box. It is soooo quiet..

most, not all, will shake, pant, run around like they are looking for something (actually trying to find a place to deliver). this action can go on for hours. i have only heard of very few not acting this way. i think you are still somewhat early but i would still keep a close eye on her.

the temp is not always accurate. my last litter, her temp was down for 5 days before she delivered. another litter, the temp never went down.

the temp can go down and in 12 hours spike back up.

you probably have a few more days to go and we hope she holds out until then.

Thank you, I would like to see her hold out for a few days also. Maybe I would be able to get a couple more hours sleep each night LOL. She's had 3 poops since this morning and won't touch a bite of anything. Her breathing is a little heavier (but not panting) and she went a little crazy in her whelping box, tearing it up and giving a few funny sounding growls while she was doing it. It made me laugh, she is such a little doll. So guess I'll just continue reading all the great posts here while I watch and wait. Thanks again

OKAY, Mindee is in labour!!! She is trembling some and about every 5 minutes she tries to push. She is laying in her box and gives a couple little pushes then resting. I am TRYING to stay calm but it's not easy. Wish us luck!!! And any help is more than welcome.

Aww Finally!! Good Luck and keep us posted.

Good Luck! Keep us updated!

Hi, not much change in Mindee. She is pushing now and then and panting some but still taking rest periods. She decided she would have some vanilla ice cream. Will update as things progress.

Ohhhh how exciting....Sounds like it won't be long now....Sending prayers to you and Mindee for a smooth delivery and healthy mom/babies...

How exciting! I'll be watching for news all night. Good luck!:)

Not a good start. Mindee had a little girl that was still born. The sac was broken before she even got out. Our hearts are breaking. Mindee is just resting now and we're waiting and hoping the next little one will be better. Please say prayers for us.

I am so sorry to hear you lost one.:( Prayers going out that the next puppy will come soon and will be alright.

So sorry for your lost... We will pray for your little one.

I am soooo sorry....sending prayers that the next one will enter the world alright....

I am sorry about the little girl, but please update us on Mindee and how she is doing, and puppies:(

Hello everyone, I am a friend of Fern's (& mindees).. Sorry for the long wait for an update. As you know mindee's first puppy was still born they waited almost 3 hours for the next one. mindee was very calm only panting every once in a while and very few pushes. (then their internet went down so she didn't even have you guys, poor girl) Fern called the vet around mindnight i believe and was told she shouldn't worry too much if mindee wasn't in distress and not pushing. be patient and it will come whenn it is ready. 4 this morning she called the vets emergency number and left i think 3 messages for him to call her back. by 6 o'clock mindee seemed to be still resting comfortably but fern was a mess. she and her husband left with mindee for the city (a 3 hour drive, next closest vet clinic to our little town)
I just spoke to her abit ago and she asked me to please give you all this update. They have been sitting in the waiting room of the clinic waiting all day for mindee to have a c-section and be spayed. mindee's surgery is over and she is doing okay. The puppy didn't make it. they will be keeping mindee overnight at the clinic to keep a close watch on her and right now looks like they will allow them to bring her home tomorrow. They were going to go get a room by the clinic hoping to go see mindee later on. thats about all I know for now. i am at her place babysitting the daddy yorky max and
putting away all her whelping and puppy things so they and mindee don't have to look at them when they come home. Fern will give you more info when she returns but i will update when ever i hear anything more. Thank you all.

oh i am so sorry to hear this it just about put me in tears my gods speed heal all very quickly

The long period in between pups wasn't a good sign. So sorry it couldn't have turned out better. Glad Mindee is doing OK. Hope she has a speedy recovery.

All the best to you.

Aww thats so sad.. I hope Mindee is doing okay after her surgery :(
