What to Do When Your Cat’s Temperature Drops to 37°C
A normal cat temperature sits between 38.5°C and 39.5°C, so a reading of 37°C is below the healthy range and worth taking seriously. The right response depends entirely on the cause. Sometimes it signals a weak or sick cat that needs warmth and a vet; other times it is a normal, expected dip just before labor. Here is how to tell the difference.
How Long Are Guinea Pigs Pregnant Before Birth?
Guinea pig pregnancy lasts about 60 to 70 days, roughly two months, though it can vary slightly by individual. As the due date nears, set up a quiet, warm, dry nesting area and watch the sow closely for labor signs. During pregnancy give nutritious food, keep the room at 18-24°C with humidity under 50%, and seek a vet for any appetite loss, fast breathing, diarrhea, or pain. Pre-labor cues include restlessness and refusing food about three days out, nest-building, swollen breasts, a hunched or splayed stance, and pain cries near delivery.
