Question

shes produceing milk, and has a clear sticky discharge
her tempriture is fluctuateing it was 37.5 and the next time it was 38.1 is this normal
she constantly pants but i think this is due to the fact shes never been in a house and is warm and she is stressed
ive tryed to get another vet apointmennt but they cant fit me in till late next week i could hav pups by then
she keeps getting a veried stool consistancy and its very orange she was sick a little yesterday.
advise please.


Answer
all of this is normal and i dont think it will be too long before you see pups. start watching for her to start digging at blankets, couch, or bed. she is looking for a safe place to have her pups. when she finds the place and she is in prelabor then she will stay put in that area and begin to clean herself off. then she will begin heavy panting and staring at her rear maybe looking confused. the pups will be here soon at that point! when you take her out to go potty make sure shes on a leash because shes a rescue and might try to find place outside to have them if shes comfortable out there.  feel free to ask any other questions and i hope this helps.
good luck on your pups!
