 Had a litter a month ago
and I got nervous when Gypsy went two hours between delivering a couple of the pups. That's when I hit the internet and read some dogs won't push with contrations because of their housetraining. A dog who is housebroke sometimes won't push threw with her contrations because the same urge to push is the same as if they were to defecate. This site said to take the dog out where they relieve themselves and this might help them along. I did as instrusted (keep a VERY close eye on the bitch) and Gypsy was having a Pup on my porch within a minute! I carried her back in with pup still attached to the umblicus in one hand, and Gypsy still attached in the other hand to finish the delivery. This is how my last two pups were born... practically on the porch. Hope this helps. Good Luck! |
