| Help Delivery questoin!! Abby started pushing about 1 hr. ago, stops and diggs franticlly and then rests and thenstarts pushing again. I can see a presentation, but it hasn't gotten to where I tell if it is a head or feet, but she hsn't progressed any further. Is this ok? When should I start worring? Also, 1st puppy is fussing so abby is distracted by that. Any help would be greatly appreciated |

Complications: 1. Constant hard labor for more than an hour and no results. 2. Green or odorous discharge from the vulva prior to the presentation of a pup. 3. An interval of two hours between pups with occasional hard labor. 4. Any part of a pup stuck or protuding from the vaginal canal 5. One hour of hard labor and no puppies. 6. Three hours of no labor between pups and you think there is another pup.

| looks like the puppy is breach. She has several hard contractions and then takes a break shredding the puppy pad in her be and then rests for a couple and then starts again. |

| Difference between posterior presentation and breech.....if pups hind legs are tucked under the pup that is breech presentation. Get her to the vet now, the pups chin could be stuck on her pelvic bone.

| I agree with Mardelin, if the pup has been visible to you for that long and she is not actively pushing, or is not progressing with each contraction, it's time to get to a vet quickly. Given that it has not progressed enough for you to make heads or tails of it (literally) then the pup is not in a position where you can help her guide it out (which you would only do if you REALLY knew how to go about it). Please, make a phone call to your vet (as you are getting ready to leave), explain the situation and get their advice. They will likely tell you to bring her in, but a call will help even more by giving them some notice as to what you are are on your way in with. |

| Advising you on how to properly assist by pulling out the pup is a very dangerous thing to try to do via web forum. I am afraid that explanation of 'how too' would not be effective and it would be VERY easy to injur or kill the pup unless you REALLY know what you are doing there. Seriously, it's time to get to the vet. Maybe you will luck up and she will deliver the pup on the way there. This is not a situation where you have the luxury of 'waiting to see what happens.' |
