| Does the pup not want to nurse or is mama not letting him? Our second didn't nurse for almost an hour after she was born, and when we were at the vet, she said the pup would be fine, as long as she nursed when we got home. If you can get him to latch on, it will help stimulate contractions. How is mama feeling? |

| We are awaiting delivery #4. The first 3 didn't latch on right way, I think it was about an hour before they figured it out. Good luck! |

| do you have any TUMS? if so, dissolve half one up in water and put it in a syringe and give to mama to get her started again. sounds like she is worn out. you can also try giving her a little ice cream. |

| The first puppy usually take a lot out of them and they just need to rest a bit. Sometimes mine have gone 1 to 3 hours between pups. As long as mom is not straining and pushing then she should be fine. Sometimes the pups don't nurse right away and sometimes they nurse immediately. Just make sure they are warm and breathing well. If you have Nutri-cal give the mom some of that. If you don't have Nutri-cal then give her some Karo syrup mix with a little water. You can give that to her with a eye dropper or syringe. |

| shes not pushing second one out yet. it look like its out about 1/2 to 1 inch out but nothing is happening. Its been this way about 10 minutes. momma is calm. i thought once they started to come out it would continue all the way out. |

| I dunno Deb . . .it would only start coming out when she contracted . . so apparently, she isn't having a hard contraction yet? The sac is still intact, right? What can you see . . .
