Signs A Dog Is Going Into Labor Soon. As your cat prepares to give birth, she’ll want to make sure that she has the perfect safe place where she can look after her kittens. Although not every dog will show these signs and not everytime they act oddly means you are going into labor soon, be aware that it is a possibility.
If you think your dog is going into labor, you should contact your veterinarian, especially if it is more than a day or two before the expected time. Start to take your dog's rectal temperature 2 to 3 days prior to the expected birth. When it drops to 100 or below, that's the magic number for an impending birth.
