Meanwhile, that puppy trapped inside, is not just going to hang out until momma regains her strength and starts to push again....take the momma in and at least get her checked....sometimes something as simple as an IV with glucose can stimulate her to resume her labor.....she may need more to resume.....but to just ignore the delay, could possibly put at the very least, the baby in harms way. It is sooooooo much easier and bewneficial to take momma in, have her checked, do as YOU did and have her re-rayed, and remove all doubt as to what your next step will be. Stay ahead of problems, and you will be sooooo much better off!

Definitely better to err on the side of caution. I would MUCH rather pay for an unnecessary vet visit than miss a very necessary one. Too many things can go wrong in these cases...not for the faint of heart.
