Question
Hi, I was just wanting to know if the dogs temperature stays around 98.3 for around 27 hours how will we know when the puppies will be born. She has already been panting and circling the house. and many signs of symptoms have arrived with all of this confussion but we just want to know when. [= thanks.

Answer
Have you seen any contractions?  She should have pups withing 24 hours of dropping in temperature.  If not, she could have a pup stuck in the canal.  You might want to take her to the vet tomorrow.  Does she have any discharge?  If it is green or black you may need to take her right away.
