She is resting now, gave her some real vanilla ice cream, doesnt look like she is having any contractions, Vet is on call and says it can be hours???
How long is it usually in between the puppies being delivered?
Thank you for your feedback.

Better to give her, if you can 1 can goats milk, equal parts of distilled water, 1 egg yolk well beaten, 1 tablespoon of Karo. Or if she's lagging behind Oral Cal Plus.
Complication signs:
If the dam has been pushing hard and steady for half an hour and there is no pup in sight, put on a surgical sterile glove and insert your finger in the vaginal canal, to feel if there is a pup in the canal. This is called "feathering" and sometimes will make the bitch get down to business and push some more. If the pup is right there, another few ushes should get it out. If not, alert your vet immediately.
Other danger signs before, during, and after whelping - Call your vet
- Constant haerd labor for more than an hour with no results
- Green or odorous discharge from the vulva. Should be very concerned if this happens before the first pup is delivered.
- An interval of two hours between pups with occasional hard labor
- Any part of a pup stuck or protruding from the vaginal canal.
- One hour of hard labor and no puppies
- Three hours of no labor between pups and you think/know there is another pup.
