It is not always easy when they get down to the last one. I always watch closely for an hour after I think she has delivered the last puppy. If she quits having hard contractions then she will most likely be done. Her uterus will still feel hard when she is contracting and it will feel like the size of one puppy but that is normal. In between contractions you should not feel anything hard in her belly. She will continue to have lighter contractions as she tries to expel afterbirth.
