Pregnant Dam 59 days, temp of 98.1.. What next?!

Ok, I know the argument for spaying and neutering and I agree a hundred percent. My daughter got her UKC beautiful blue fawn brindled PitBull for free under the condition he got to breed her once and keep half the puppies.

Well I took her temperature this morning and it was 98.1, and shivering on and off. I'm thinking that shivering is happening when she is having contractions. She does not want to get off the couch and go to the area prepared for her to have the pups. I put some trash bags under blankets for her to lay on, and covered her up with a blanket because it is a bit cooler than normal here today.

She seems to be mainly sleeping, is this just first stage or false labor. I thought she would be nesting and searching for a quieter spot besides the living room couch, that is her normal hang out spot.

Any tips or ideas please let me know,

Christal

Was she bred? You say false labor.

I would keep an eye on her. Watch for agitation. She may be just starting. It can take hours before they go into full labor. You want to watch for starting and stopping of going into labor...sigh of eclampsia.

You may have to hand raise it. I had to hold his lip shut so he could bet suction, besides after three days his mom had nothing to do with him.

Who is your vet? Just curious if I know them. Lived in Pcola for years and worked for a few.:)
