Yes, we took her in! I didn't wait the additional hour as the emergency vet had told us, and ended up taking her into a different emergency vet clinic instead. I didn't feel comfortable with Maya being in labor for over 2 hours, so to the vet we went. For now, they've run some blood tests- her calcium levels were a little low, so they're giving her calcium now with a shot of oxytocin (sp?), and her blood sugar they say was just fine. BTW, the vet there said that when she did a vaginal exam on Maya, she could actually feel a sack, so we're hoping for some good news soon. So, now she's there at the clinic while we're at home waiting to see if that does the trick. They'll be calling us within the hour to let us know what's going on, and if she will be needing a c-section after all is said and done. Thanks so much for the advice everyone; thanks so much for caring. You guys really are the best. I was so worried, but I feel so much better now. Even if a cesarean is necessary, it's whatever keeps Maya and those babies safe.
And one more thing, if she gets a c-section, she's getting spayed while we're at it!
