Over time, fungi species can become resistant to the chemicals in fungicides, and higher rates or more frequent fungicide applications may be ineffective. Worldwide, resistance is appearing in an increasing number of pathogens in field crops, fruits, vegetables, nuts, ornamentals and turfgrass.
Step 2. Take the dog's temperature twice a day in the week before delivery. A dog's normal temperature is 100 degrees F and will drop by approximately two degrees within 24 hours of the start of labor.
Time Frame. The first sign of labor can last from 6 to 12 hours, although contractions have not started so the dog may not pant. Panting starts when the contractions begin. The first puppy should appear in 30 minutes.If not, call a vet.ogs can take up to two hours in between whelping puppies in the same litter. If a dog actively goes into labor with panting and then is too exhausted to continue, she may have uterine inertia and needs veterinary assistance immediately. (See Reference 4).
