Temperature drop is a good sign.

is it?????? but how low should it go?

I think and without looking it up about 95.

Heavy breathing and ripples or shudders down her body mean contractions and straining as if wanting to go toilet mean a pup is on it's way but can still take time. On the camp bed for you tonight.

tam didn't shudder. She panted a lot and cried once and then a pup popped out. Very quick for her. From time of start of panting to first pup was 4 hours and total time for labour/birth of litter was 8 hours.

Her temp dropped for about 24 hours and then things really started to happen. She refused to leave my side and did look at me a few times as if to say 'please help me mum and don't go'. I was glad I didn't too as I would have missed the whole thing.

Definately sleep on the camp bed tonight and hopefully some news for tomorrow.

Good luck!!

Four hours and eight pups is good going Staffy. Might be a record

Any news yet?


(remember please I did say Friday)
