| ![]() I have a girl friend that has a Chi and she had 2 puppies last night. Her husband was home with her and all went well. She came home tonight and she feels something else in her tummy and said that it moved, so she thinks it is another puppy. It has been almost 24 hours since the last puppy. I told her to take her to the vet and she said that the last time it took almost 24 hours for her to have the puppy. What do you guys suggest. I know many of you have dealt with this and I never have but knew you guys might be able to help me as to what to tell her to do. She is taking her temp now and the puppy inside is moving.

| ![]() That was my suggestion also, she said that the mom was doing a lot of licking but no pushing, I even found a vet that was 2 hours away that would see her, but with her living pretty far from everything, she said she was going to wait for a little longer and see if she pushed. She just took temp and it is 101.

| ![]() I have never dealt with this in whelping puppies. I've never heard of a puppy being born more then 24 hours later I would take her to the vets. If this has happened before to her..She may be comfortable waiting. Boy I wouldn't be.I'm a worry wart Hope everything goes well. ![]() Please let us know !!!

| ![]() I am by far not expert in breeding by any means, but my gut instincts say she should really take her to the vet. Just because last time her whelp happened that way, does not mean that it will happen that way this time, IMO. For the health and care for that little momma and her baby, she should take her to the vet. We'll be sending puppy/momma prayers your way and be sure to let us know how they do. Good luck to your friend and all her babies!

| ![]() If that was me I would have been on the way to the vet already. What are people thinking??? I panic enough with out having this to worry about. I know she said that the last litter took over 24 hours to deliver all the babies, but since it has been almost 24 hours since the last baby was born, that worries me.

| ![]() I would get that girl to the vet asap. it is good if she can feel it moving.. that means it is still alive.. but I certainly would have her in there as soon as she can. I would not wait over 2-3 hours much less 24 hours

| ![]() Sonya I feel the same way. I have had a whelping take over 8 hours. But the puppies kept moving down and there wasnt a huge gap in time. This was with 7 puppies. Then Nala had 8 puppies and it took 7 hours total. This is just too long of a gap between puppies...2-3 hours and I would have already been on my way to the vets. It is good that the puppy is still moving. Keep us posted !!

| ![]() Yeah, I should have put this in my first post. You said the baby was still moving, but that doesn't mean that it's not stressed and that can cause all kinds of problems. There's a reason its not coming out, and at this point, every minute counts, for both their sakes.

| ![]() I used to work at a vet's office about 2 years ago. You should not wait more than two hours between puppies. This is extremely dangerous not only for the puppy but for the Mom as well. We got a man that brought in his dachshund that had been pushing for hours and couldn't get any out...the Mom was so weak that she ended up dieing during the C-section. Luckily the puppies did make it..but they had no mother and had to be bottle fed. They do have a shot of Oxytocin vets can give to a dog to make her contractions stronger...if that doesn't work, a C-section probably would be a GREAT idea... Kel |
