Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The rectal temperature can help but sometimes it is not accurate. Digging can indicate stage 1 labor which is nesting and decreased appetite. Panting and discomfort can also indicate impending labor. I would say she is soon to go in to labor! Good luck!

Keep an eye on Tintin for now. Take her temperature twice daily. A dog's normal temperature is between 101-102.5F. Once it drops below 100F, she should have her puppies within 24 hours. I hope this helps!
