Well I have been waiting here for Santa to deliver these puppies since yesterday <g> My girl, Kelsey has been in pre-labor since yesterday afternoon, no hard labor yet. She will dig, pant then rest. My question is does their temperature go down and then back up in pre labor? Kelsey's temp was 98 then 99 now 100. My vet said her temp. should start going down again then she should go into hard labor IF she doesn't go into labor once temp. drops I have a problem. I haven't whelped a litter here in 3 years, wow something IS wrong with me! I guess I'm just worried here. thanks and Happy Holidays!!
