Question
This is my second request for information, I hope you don't mind? I have a wire fox terrier who has diarrhea at the moment.  She was mated on 22nd, 24th and 26th of May. By the first mating makes her 58 days today, she is so miserable and besides the diarrhea no nesting etc. Her temperature this morning was 97.5 a significant drop from last night which was 99.3. Would you advise me to take the middle mating as the one she would most likely to have conceived on or be on the safe side and go for the first. This is the first litter for the bitch.  Your advise would be greatly appreciated

Answer
Hi Karen. I don't mind at all. That's what I'm here for. :-) Did the temp drop stay down, or go right back up? If her temp went down that far and stayed down, then I'd go with the first breeding. Keep a close eye on the puppies, and any colored discharge. I don't think this girl will go a whole lot longer. Good luck!
