So I started taking Spy's temperature this weekend. When taking it this morning I noted that the temperature had dropped to 98.6 from her usually 99.5 to 100. So I took it again to make sure it was again 98.6. So I got nervous thinking she was possibly getting ready to have puppies in 24 hours and I hadn't had her x-rayed yet. So I called the vet and they squeezed us in at noon. The x-ray was good but not quite what I expected. It showed only 2 puppies. I guess I thought she looked bigger than just two puppies, but then again I have never bred a dog before so I guess I don't really know how big, big is.
It also turns out Spy's temperature has returned to normal 99.7, I have found out that her mother did the same thing. Her temperature did a drop and return, 5 days before she delivered Spy's litter.
So now I will continue to monitor Spy's temperature until it drops again and hopefully next time it will be the real thing.
