Dogs have a body temperature of about 101.5 +/- 1 degree F. Starting several days in advance, we will start taking Sky's temperature for a baseline. Like people the actual normal temperature can vary a bit due to individual metabolism, time of day, and activity level. But a consistent temperature drop to below 100, usually about 1-2 degrees below their baseline is a good tool for indicating early labor.
Today we are at 100.7 and I'll check twice a day from her on out.
Soon we should have puppies!
