Staff pregnant

Question
Hiya my staff is 18 months old. I belive she is 55 days pregnant. Today she has been losing a milky colored discharge, Maybe mucus? Shes very loving, temp is normal. Any idea what this discharge is? Hoping she doesn't go into labour yet as shes only 55 days. How often shall i be checking her temp? Thank you

Answer
Hi Charlene

It sounds like her mucus plug.  Very normal, nothing to panic about.  It can start discharging a few weeks to a few hours prior to whelping.

Personally, I don't take stock in taking temperature unless you know the female's temp when she's not pregnant.  Everything from sitting in the sunshine, drinking water or laying on the bed will raise or lower her temperature.

Good luck
