Whelping Temperature Chart .A dog's normal temperature fluctuates between 101-102 degrees.

Temperature should be taken twice a day once in morning and once at night. Take her temperature while she is resting do not take it after she has been exercising or walking about .

You may notice an increase in temperature right before the temperature drops. Any temperature  lower than 99.2 indicates labor "could"began within 24 hours. I have seen a few bitches who did not have temperature drop at all and some temperatures drop to 89.

This chart will help you track your bitch's temperature .

Effects of X-Irradiation on the Implanting Canine Embryo
W. J. Tietz, R. D. Phemister, B. P. Stuart, G. E. Smith, R. J. Garner
Radiation Research, Vol. 43, No. 3 (Sep., 1970), pp. 554-560
doi:10.2307/3573229
The response of beagle embryos to an exposure of 100 R x-rays on day 13, 16, 19, 22, or 25 of gestation has been measured in terms of pre- and postnatal mortality, birth weight and the incidence of developmental anomalies. Following irradiation on day 19, corresponding approximately to the primitive streak stage, few bitches produced litters than at any other exposure time. Postnatal mortality was markedly increased after exposure on day 16, 19, or 22. Irradiation at times from 16 through 25 days produced a significant reduction in birth weight, the greatest deficit occurring at 22 days. A rather high incidence of developmental anomalies was observed following irradiation on days 19 and 22, during the period of early organogenesis. From this it appears that the time of greatest radiosensitivity as measured by pre- and postnatal mortality occurred at about the primitive streak stage and immediately thereafter during early neurogenesis. In the dog this time shortly follows implantation. The overall pattern of response of the beagle embryo is thus similar to that reported in the mouse and rat but even more closely resembles that of the rabbit.
