The first girl of mine that did not have contractions had a pup come out of its bag in utero. She ended up with a c-section and had two beautiful other babies that made it. We had to put her on antibiotic to make sure she did not have an infection, and she did run a little fever afterwards, but did so much better a few days later.
My other girl I have that did not go into having contractions had a pup into both horns and was stuck. No way was this pup going to make it out on its own. So we had to do a c-section. There are usually good reason why they do not have contractions and all the time in the world is not going to help. |
Thanks for mentioning this.....and you are so right.....sometimes premature labor begins because something is wrong and other times labor doesn't begin at all. I do begin to worry on the last day of their last breeding......and it's so difficult on a first whelp to determine a females cycle. Always best to have your girl checked if there is any doubt whatsoever.
Being concerned about your girl being stressed over going to the vet????????Think of the alternative. Wouldn't you rather know, rather than risk her life.
