It could mean that! Start taking Lola's rectal temperature every morning. When the temperature drops below 99 degrees fahrenheit, she should go into labor within 24 hours. Watch Lola for any signs of illness and take her into the vet if those are seen. Just like with humans, the spotting may be normal but it can also indicate a problem. When in doubt, take her to the veterinarian. I hope this helps and best of luck!
