Aussie labor

how will I know my dog is in labor? Signs??

Answer #1

is the around her due date? Is she eating? Did you take her temp and did it drop. normal is 100.5 -102.5 and it will drop about 24 hrs before labor Is she nesting. Digging in blankets to make a bed Does she keep moving around because she can’t get comfortable. Is she pushing or baring down.

Answer #2

Harley (above is covering the bases)

If her temp has dropped from 100. to 98. or below and stays she is in labor. I use one of those digital them. Do you know you use some KY jelly or Vaseline and insert it in her bottom?

A sure sign is that she has been eating like she is starving and than she will refuse food. That is always a good one for me. I start watching like a hawk than.

She will tear at the papers. I prefer thin old towels or newspaper because I worry about a puppy getting lost in a blanket.

Have you built a puppy box? Did you mark on the calender when she and the male tied? If so around 63 days is a good rule of thumb for a delivery date.

What kind of dog do you have? If she has a lot of hair have you trimmed her?
