Pucapo Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I am seeking some advice on taking my girls temperature prior to whelping. I have read a few articles on Google but hope to hear from someone who uses the temperature method successfully. Can you let me know when you take it how often you take it and at what day of the pregnancy should I start and what to look for. Thanks in advance.

The Spotted Devil Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 It's invaluable in my opinion. I start about Day 61 (I prog test) and take my girl's temp around 4 times a day. You quickly see a pattern of rise and fall and then you see a drop that is below the diurnal pattern. It's really, really informative when things don't go to plan, for example, my last whelping was a c-section (2 pups trying to get out at once) and the temp drop gave my specialist repro vet great information about what was happening. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 and I've never done it! But with 3 out of 4 litters by frozen semen we had D day down to the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
