Answer 4

The two most common signs of delivery are the drop of temperature and nesting behavior. The normal temperature for dogs is 101-102 Fahrenheit. If it drops to 99-100 F with two readings taken at 12 hrs gap, the female dog is most likely to deliver her kids in the next 24hrs. Other than that is the restlessness the female dog shows before pregnancy. She will instinctually prepare a place where she intends to give birth to her babies by cleaning the place and putting newspapers or cloth at it.
