I have a 2 1/2 yr old chinese crested powderpuff that is 60 days preggers with 5 pups. I have been checking her temp 3 times a day. Her temp this morning at 8 am was 98.5, at 1 it was 99.4. Her temps for the past 4 days have fluctuated between 99.5 and 99.9. This morning she refused breakfast but then ate lunch. Refusing breakfast is very unusual for her. At lunch she ate part and "hid" the rest in her whelping box. She seems to be acting normal now, but I'm confused as to her temp dropping and then slightly back up but still lower than normal. I also want to mention that she has had discharge, globby clear stuff for several days that started out as drops but is now stringy which I believe may be the mucous plug. Her teats have been full for several days and now are leaking milk and her pups have been quite active but not as much today. I still feel them move but they are much lower. I am wondering if this was the temp drop or if it's just more fluctuation? Thank you everyone!
