How often is she having contractions? The puppy might be breach - feet first delivery is normal and fine, but sometimes the legs are tucked up underneath the belly and they can't be delivered vaginally. From what you are describing she is in active labor and a puppy should be produced within 20 minutes (we're past that). 1 hour in active pushing labor would definitely be tops for me with a Mom so small or sooner if she seems to be in any terrible pain or contractions stop. |
