Anyone know where I can copy a temperature chart for recording bitches temperature. (I trained as a nurse so like to do things 'properly' rather than just scribble figures on paper) I am not computer literate enough to make my own!!:D

Hi Star
your vet may let you have one..otherwise I don't know..if you let me know what you want on it, I'll create one for you in about 10 mins and e mail it to you.

Tracey :)

Thanks Tracey
i did ask at the Vets but they did not have one so if you can do one for me that would be great. I dod look on Google but kept getting all sorts of ovulation charts, f
vaccine cahrts aetc, all with wrong figures on etc. My e mail is sue@kavacanne.freeserve.co.uk
I am soooo grateful :) :)

OK
No prob :)

Hi
I've sent it to you..:)

Tracey

I am also trying to find out the temperature chart.
Is it right that the temp should be 101 normally but it drops to 98.
If someone could let me know I would apprecitate it. Also how quickly will they whelp from the drop of temperature?
I have never bothered before about taking temp. But this is something I would like to do on a future litter. Any info would be appreciated.
Click on my name is see my e-mail address.

i got one,think i got it of the net,bye put whelping and rearing puppies,if you cannot find one send me your home address and i will send one for you photo copy,plus i thinl i got one on disc as well,

The temp usually will drop 24-48 hours before whelping, so at least it gives you some idea but I am told it is not failsafe. The chart Tracey did for me is great so if she has no objection i can forwrd it to you if you give me your e mail

Hi Star
I don't mind who you send them too :) glad to be of help :)
Tracey

By the way thank you for the chart.
Its interesting stuff. But can a dogs
normal temp be at 98?
Nut

Not 'normal' temp but it can drop to 98 when whelping is imminent or I believe in certain conditions eg. hypothermia.

The bitches temp drops to prepare the pups slowly for the lower temperature of the outside world - I think!
