You either have to get in there or take her to the vet so someone can watch over and assist this Mom.
Sometimes right after giving birth the Mom is so focused on the afterbirth and can ignore the pup. It could die if the sac isn't opened. Also, there's a very real danger of her injuring or killing a pup. It can get eaten along with an after birth or the Mom could chew a leg tearing the sac. When it comes to cutting the cord, it's very easy for the Mom to cause a hernia or even to pull out the baby's intestines. For those reasons, it's important to be right there....tear the sac and cut the baby's cord. This breed can't have babies on their own.
Not meaning to sound rude, but do you know how? How far away is the ER vet? |
