Is this her first litter? How big is she? Some females just take longer than others so it is hard to set a specific length of time. A lot depends on the size of the pup too. The female has to be able to dilate enough to push the baby out. I would think she would be getting very close. Are you feeling any bulge in the vagina yet? Usually once the hard pushing starts they should have a pup within an hour. You might want to get a emergency vet lined up just in case. I pray you momma has a safe whelping. Please keep us posted. |
