Years ago I bred our lab, and her first pup was breech, which is fairly normal. Only thing was, she was a panicked wreck and kept insisting she had to go outside to poop, when I knew she was just getting ready to have her first pup. Since she was nearly the size of me, there wasn't much holding her back from scratching at the slider door to go out. So I followed her all around the yard while she found a place to "go", and she squatted and delivered the baby. It was stuck half way out, and when it finally came out, it's tummy was stuck to her bottom because the cord was either too short or stuck on something. Since she was frantic at that point, and very confused because she was still convinced she had to have a bm instead of a puppy, I yelled for dh to grab the scissors and some thread (which he couldn't find so he cut me some fishing line), and I clipped the cord and since it had to be cut soooo short, I tied it off with the line. We made do. After that I coaxed her into the house and she finished off the litter just fine and everyone was healthy.
