Question
what re the first signs of dog labor and once the temerature drops how long before labor?

Answer
Jennifer,
If she is down to 98/99 she should start labor within about 6 hours.  Once you see contractions, she has to have the first one within 24 hours.  If she doesn't start contractions within about 12-14 hours then she needs to see the vet...
do you have him on call?
