Question
My poodle is 62 days pregnant. I've been taking her temperature regularly and it has dropped to 98.8. Last Saturday night I think she lost her mucus plug because there was a lot of gooey yellowish discharge from her vulva and it continues to secrete clear stuff now. She has had diarrhea for the past 3 days, started digging Saturday night a bit and panting some. This is my first litter and I'm not sure what her being in labor actually will look like. I've watched many YouTube and read tons of articles. She should go soon because she is restless her and I both haven't got much sleep because she cannot seem to get comfortable in her whelping box and she digs around trying to find a good spot and makes a lot of noise. She is still eating some but not as much as usual. Do you think she should go soon? Her first tie was nov. 2nd. She is huge.

Answer
Hello Jess,
Please look up my previous answers about dogs whelping, there is a lot of info there and I think it will help you out.  There is a question by Charmaine with the subject "My Toy Poodle Pregnancy" that should answer some of your questions.  I am on a tablet rather than my laptop and therefore limited to what I can write.  Otherwise I would be spelling out each word until Easter.  It does sound like your dog is about to deliver, so read through those other posts so you will be ready.
