Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / Temperature drop pre-whelping?

Hiya

My  girl is due any day now....been panting on and off over last few days, her temps dropped today, it’s been consistently between 36.9-37.1 will this be enough for her to start labour? She’s been doing a little grunting but other than that seems comfy and still eating

What’s people’s opinions?

I'd just ignore the temperature, I have never found it useful at all. Staying with your bitch at all times and keeping a close eye on her is what matters.

The temp idea does work, but the problem is that the majoirty of thermometers are really useless.  I had 4 thermometers last time and they were all saying different things.  And if I used the same one and did a reading twice, it still said something different.

Without reliable mercury thermometers, I don't think we can really use the temp method...
