One of my girls had only one pup... I had to inject oxytocin (after speaking to my vet)... the pup was born 10 minutes later. Sometimes with only one pup there is not enough "umf" in the contractions to make the pup come out... otherwise... yes... it means a c-section.

A few years ago one of my girls had only one pup... and no problem... seemed like a long hard labor for two hours... but pup came out on its own.

I hope we hear some news soon!!!
