I still feel something hard... nothing else could be hard right... it isn't her uterus or anything right? It is harder to feel it move because she has so much more room for move around.
We have a 24 hour vet down the street... so if I need to I will be running. |
Sounds like mom and babies are all doing great. It sounds like what you are feeling is her uterus. If mom seems fine and the babies are doing well then there is no need for you to worry until morning. Do you have a stethoscope? I can usually hear the heartbeat of any puppies left. I think it is probably just the uterus. It can feel an awful lot like another puppy especially while it is contracting down and with her having four it is probably pretty large trying to contract down and it can feel just like another puppy. Best of luck to you and the new mom. Sounds like she did a great job. Can't wait to see pics of the new babies.
