I wrote a few days ago about my bitch Venus' temp being at 98 for 3 days with
no puppies. This became 5 days at 98 with no puppies. I want to thank
everyone who responded. Still no puppies, but I learned a lot, both from
horror stories of dead puppies/c-sections and from those who never take temps
and just let nature take its course. I heard about bitches delivering on the
68-70th days with no problems. Advice ranged from take her in for a c-section
immediately to have a drink and relax. I decided that I needed to know if the
puppies were alive. A follow-up ultrasound yesterday confirmed that all five
had strong heartbeats. When the vet took her temp, it was normal. He wondered
if there was something wrong with my thermometer, a new digital one. I
wondered if the temp had spiked back up. It was 99 this morning. We are on
the 63rd day. She did some scratching in her bed at 2:30 this morning. She
seems like something is going on. I have to go to work for a couple of hours.
It wouldn't surprise me if there were puppies when I get home. I think
everything is okay. The list is great. I felt like I had a lot of very
knowledgeable and terrific people right here with me. Thanks Again! I hope I
get to meet some of you at the Midwest Futurity. Good luck to everyone this
weekend!
Now, in the words of the old song:
"Venus, if you will...please send a little girl for me to thrill..."
