Guest Anonymous Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 I was wondering how you tell when they are going into labor? She already pants a lot all the time...but we supposedly have about 2 weeks left. Is it possible for them to have an early birth? Can their labor last a long time? How long does it usually last?

kendalyn Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 I'm pretty sure their temperature drops before they are about to go into labor. You might want to check for milk production too. That happens close to birth. Quote
KathiNellie Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 The temperature is a sure sign. Also with the panting it is pretty much constant. Alot of dogs also dig at bedding and try to dig in gardens to make a nest. It is much different than a normal panting dog. Just keep taking her temp twice a day. It should normally be between 100 and 101. When it drops to 98 or so and stays there she should be going into labor. Good Luck. Quote
