Tiny Toy Poodle in labor

20 10:37:40

Question
I have a tiny toy poodle that is in labor... I think ? I checked her temp. last night .. it was 98.7 that was at 11:00 pm about how long will it take her? This is her first time.
I feel like a grandparent in the waiting room!
Thanks for you help!

Answer
once temp drops you will usually see labor 24 hours afterwards.  The female will usually give you a lot of signs that she is in labor.  They will not eat usually, the will pant and whine some, and they will nest a lot and dig at the bedding. They usually dont want to leave the spot they want to have their puppies in.  They like more quiet.
