Expect some puppies (probably half of them) to be born tail first. This is not abnormal for dogs.
CALL YOUR VETERINARIAN IF:
30-60 minutes of strong contractions occur with no puppy being produced.
Greater than four hours pass between pups and you know there are more inside.
She fails to go into labor within 24 hours of her temperature drop.
She is in obvious extreme pain.
Greater than 70 days of gestation have passed. |
I feel like you said you did. I'm forgetting all I know. But this is someone else's dog and I don't want anything to go wrong.
For me, everything was perfect for Coco the first time. You start to panic real easy I see!!
Juiletsmom is doing a great job, though. Just wants to be sure everything is ok.
Thanks for staying on with us!!!
