Joan of Arc Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 No I am guessing they will be here sometime tonight. ;) If her temp has been down under 36 for more than 8 hours then that is a definite set pattern of recordings. Put the on we will be checking throughout the night. You probably already know all this info below but sometimes I go back and reread stuff just to put my mind in the right place. Of course you could read five different pieces of info and get five different points of view but I find this pretty average to my girls. As for their food, well I have labradors - they have to be dead to knock back food Good luck we will be watching and waiting Anticipating Whelping The simplest and most reliable indicator of impending whelping is a drop in body temperature of almost 2 degrees within 24 hours of giving birth. This temperature decrease is only temporary so it is a good idea to check your dog’s temperature at least twice a day from the 58th day of the pregnancy. You can use a human thermometer from a pharmacy. Apply a small amount of lubrication prior to rectal insertion and leave it in place for one minute if it is a mercury thermometer, or, until it beeps if it is digital. Normal body temperature for dogs is between 37.5C and 39.0C. Stage I: This usually lasts from 12-24 hours, during which time she may show changes in behaviour. She may become reclusive, restless and start 'nesting' (trying to make a bed for the puppies). She may refuse to eat and sometimes vomit. Panting and trembling may occur. In this phase the uterus (womb) is contracting and the cervix is dilating. Although you might see a clear and watery discharge from the vulva (around the back end of the bitch) no visible abdominal contractions are evident.
