Reading this too late to be of any help, but if she is not having any labor pains the rest of the litter might not come until they are due. Most likely this one got separated from the placenta wall and that is why it came. I would think the longer it was off the placental wall the more deteriorated it would become and wouldn't look much like a puppy if it became detached a week or so ago. Maybe it's just not time for the others to be born - does she know the mating dates? In any event I would keep in close touch with my vet. Is the vet worried about bacteria causing problems with those yet to be born? |
