Dogs temp at 61 days pregnant?

Question

M dog is 61 days along in her pregnancy and i took he temp at 8:30 this morning and it was 98.8 i was just wondering if she is getting ready to go into labor? And can they go into labor before 63 days or do they usally go the whole 63 days before they have the puppies?

On the dog calender on the web it says to start takin it today and all my dog has done is sleep for the last week and she hasnt ate anything for almost 24 hours so that is a sign isn't it?

Answer 1

You should begin taking it twice daily from day 58 on. Some dogs will drop the temp in the morning and then it will go back up in the eve. That is why you need a longer record to see if there is a change in the trend. They can whelp anywhere from day 58 on.
It could happen anytime now, but if it doesn't, keep taking the temp. Websites can be WRONG!!!!! I have known many litters whelped on day 59 and 60. Always be prepared from day 58 on.
Then can also hold on until day 65.

Some bit ches will not eat for three days, some eat until they go into labor. It is good to know the "rules", but too many bit ches do not follow them!!!!!!!!!!!!
