| How long before I worry???? I hope someone is on here that can help me!!!!!! Duckie has been having contractions on and off for over an hour. They are not very close together and it's not producing anything and she's resting in between. She doesn't seem to be in distress, but I am beginning to worry. What should I do? Please help!! |

| I posted this on you other thread......sometimes it takes hours for the momma to fully dilate enough to push out a puppy. If she is just having occasional contractions and not pushing real hard then I don't think you have a problem yet. Is this her first litter? It sounds to me like she is not in hard labor yet. Once the puppy is close to coming out then she will be pushing hard and straining every few minutes. Once they get to that stage they usually have one within an hour. |

BUT pushing as you said with no puppies for over an hour. AND greenish /brownish stuff is not good. I'm tired..long night , and took an hour nap. But I'm here The best thing you can do right now. Is call your vet..See what they say Make them aware that she may indeed be having problems. Also...if you post on just the other thread hun..It will make it easier on everyone to help you...k? I know you're upset ..but multiple threads will just make it harder for YOU and us...

| I agree, if she is having a green or brown discharge, that is not good. You might want to call a vet and at least talk to them and alert them that you might need to come in. Good luck. |

| I totally agree. I have read if you see greenish color stuff before the first pup it is not good. Only after she has her first pup is normal. But... I think yous should call your vet and ask. Sue

| I haven't helped yorkies have babies yet, but we did have a great dane that had puppies when I was younger and she started out having greenish and brownish and the vet told us to try and wait a little longer...well we ended up taking her in later and she had 1 pup survive out of 4 and she had an infection that was causing that. Good luck! |
