Marking Time

0830: Rumor's temp was a little lower than usual this morning, we'll see what the afternoon measurement shows. I notified the local emergency vet so they know her status.

0930: I re-freshed her coat trim, washed her belly, and changed out the bedding in the whelping box. You can see she's looking very pregnant at this point, and now naps stretched out rather than curled up.


She looks peaceful, doesn't she?

1200 - FINALLY I got a copy of the x-ray from Monday. If you don't want to count skeletons, don't look too closely:


1430 - Ru ate lunch as usual, and her temp check was also lower than yesterday. We'll get another data point before calling this a "trend".

2045 - Appetite normal, temp actually .2 higher than 24 hrs earlier. So, not a trend, possibly even a false alarm.

Time will tell!
