What does the puppies "dropping" look like? Will it be obvious to a beginner like me?
Thanks for all the wonderful answers. I LOVE learning new things especially if it benefits my girlie! |
Taking temperature does not always help.....Sometimes they temp doesn't flux until actual labor begins and you don't want to be taking her temp then.
If pups are born with placenta in tact, it'll be a dark bubble that appears, at times puppies will present themselves hind legs first, without a bubble, becareful not to pull puppies legs (you could injure them) , but assist by gently grasping the body and pulling gently with each contraction (work as fast as possible().
