... at a time like this?!
her temperature is 97.9, like they say "it's bottomed out"
I keep the instructions in mind as an experiment which of my females actually follow what's expected and which are so far off ya wonder why you even bother.
For Tigre' ... today ... with this litter ... she dropped Saturday morning to 98.3 degrees farenheit
since Sunday morning about 9am she's been no higher than 99.7
this morning's temp was 99.1, two hours later was 98.6, two hours later was 98.4,
shaking and early onset labor starts but not active labor
2pm 98.6, two hours later its 97.9 ... what they call "bottoms out" she's sleeping and not worried about a thing
As part of this observation and experiment we will continue to watch the temperature. She's laying across the room staring at me and watching Hilde eat ... not even considering eating at this point.
"the instructions" say from the time the bitch bottoms out she should whelp within 12-24 hours
hmm, she would have to get busy to get that done ... I think, again, my guess has not been accurate yet
but as the human observing this miracle of life, I'm only reporting the facts!
wish us luck! we've got a long ways to go before presentation
bye for now, keep checking back, could be quick, could be days
