Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2007 6:39 am Post subject: Temp drop
Well, we think things May be starting to happen!! It's now day 61, We have been taking Xsaras temp 3 times a day since sunday which has been consistant at 100.2, This morning she has taken a bit of a drop to 99.6. Reading the book of the bitch, it tells you that temp drop may be as low as 99 or even 97 for a few hours to indicate that whelping will occur in the next 24 hours. Has xsara had enough of a drop in her temp? are we waiting for a drop which is just lower for heror should it be REALLY significant? basically we're just trying to find other breeders experiences on this subject!!
This could be it!!! I must admit I'm very bad and never take the temperature on any of my pregnant bitches I keep an eye on the bitches behavior as this is a certain tell tell sign. The one that had her pups 11 days ago, becomes restless, likes to dig a hole in the garden, likes to be very close to you and listens out for every single noise in the house. All these signs are there only a few hours before she's about to go into labor...
Best of luck with the birth Enjoy this miracle - I still get overwhelmed each time...
I think this is going to be a long night!! She has (within the last hour) started to pant pretty heavily, no bed tearing or anything - she has spent the majority of the day sleeping!! one minute she wants a cuddle the next shes hiding (ostrich style ) totally refusing food, even really tasty bits!
