HELP!!!! We're in labor!!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

DorkyYorkies · 04-20-2008, 07:52 AM

Duckie is finally deciding to go into labor!!! She is having contractions, and pushing some but the contractions are not long and strong enough to get anything out. When do I start to worry?????? I haven't even seen a water sac yet. I just saw this greenish brownish blackish stuff on her newspaper and I don't know what it is or where it came from. Any advice would be great and any help would be great!!

She has been having contractions for over an hour and pushing every now and then. I can feel the contractions easing up and getting stronger. This might take all day at this rate

If she has been pushing for over an hour you need to call your vet.

There should NOT be greenish stuff without a puppy...or I have never had it..
If she has pushed , for over an hour she may not be able to have the puppies.
I'm online

Sometimes it takes hours for the mom to fully dilate enough to push out that first pup. I wish you and the mom best wishes for a safe delivery.

DorkyYorkies · 04-20-2008, 08:31 AM

THe contractions have been going on for over an hour, but she is only pushing every so often

Ok whew the vet says the same thing you guys say. They say as long as she's not constantly pushing for over an hour then she's ok. The yellowish greenish discharge is also normal. This is all just so new to me and I just want to make sure I am doing this right :::sigh::: With Daisy, when she strated having contractions, the first puppy was born within 30 minutes, so that's why I was beginning to worry. It just differs from dog to dog.

Yes, each dog is different. Some females show very little signs of labor until right before they start pushing hard. Some females cry and really have a hard time and others just breeze through. Much of it depends on the size of the female and the size of the puppy they are trying to deliver. With a bigger pup the mom has to dilate much more and that takes time. You have to keep in mind though, some females that are not build right for delivery may never dilate enough to deliver so you need to feel when she is pushing to see if you can feel the puppy starting to buldge. This process takes time but once the puppy is starting to buldge she should make more progress with each contraction.
