We took her back to the vet when she would have been about 8 weeks and scan revealed pup(s) were gone. Vet took a swab, gave an internal, said all ok, and has given a weeks supply of antibiotics sa
  6. I am seeking some advice on taking my girls temperature prior to whelping. I have read a few articles on Google but hope to hear from someone who uses the temperature method successfully.
