Question
yesterday my dogs temp was 101. but she started having labor pauns and making loud noises that lasted an hour then some blackish green stuff came out then shes been fine since and today her temp is still 101 could the puppie be dead and if so will she deliver it normal.

Answer
Hi Barbara. It sounds like either a puppy died, or a placenta came lose from the uterine wall. A trip to the vet is called for here. Any colored discharge before the birth of the first puppy needs to be checked out. You didn't say when your girl is due....
