Question
Hello my girl is 61 days now. You have helped so much... My mentor thought she would have them last night. But no. Her temp droped to 98.6 and normal this last week has been 99.8 so now its been 97.8-97.9 all day today. She isnt showing any signs She is in her box but just is sleeping alot. She doesnt seem to want to get up when I call her... Atleast not today or last night. Her pupils are alittle dialiated but she nested alittle last night to get comfy but no more. Should I be worried? What are normal signs before? All she i doing is sleeping alot.. Which she did before. Her eyes just look alot more teary. She looks as if she is crying at times....

Answer
Hi Angel

If you have her under a microscope, you may notice her new freckles to!

Just kidding.  The most important, and frankly hardest, part of breeding is waiting.  You can almost hear the clock ticking and you start reading all kinds of signs and signals coming from your dam.

Just sit back and let Mother Nature do her thing.  She will sleep more now, which is a good thing, because once the babies comes, no body gets any rest!  As her temperature fluctuates her tear ducts may leak.

The number sign of approaching whelp is complete loss of appetite.  She won't eat, she'll nest, she will be restless and she will nest.  

Good luck.
