Sounds like you are going to have a long night ahead of you.

Destiny just had her pups last thursday. She was in stage 1 of labor at 3pm and didn't end up having her pups until the next morning at 3am. It was such a long night for us, lol.

I hope all is going well, keep us updated!!

What kind of stinky fluid? What color is it?

I am in shock .....Piper was digging , panting then she just settled right down , seems like it just stopped . I took her outside , she is very quiet , she panted a few times ...can labour just stop like that ? IS this labour? also in my original post I said that Piper's temp was 99.6....mistake it was 98.6
what does this all mean ?

How are you and Piper this morning? I hope everything is o.k.

Molly did about the same thing the day before she delivered. She was shakey and clingy all day long but everything just seemed to stop at times for quite a while. When we went to bed at 9:30 or 10 everything was fine but she woke us up by making noise while nesting, at about 12:30 and didn't deliver her first one until 1:30. When Molly got serious about delievering she wouldn't leave me for a second...once she started pushing hard she went into her whelping box and laid down...a few minutes later we had our first boy.

Piper has been calm for a pretty long time ...4 hrs . woooah, i am so glad I am not a nail biter...I would have no nails left

Hang in there! Once Molly started it was all over in 2 1/2 hours. We had an x-ray so I knew how many were left...I kept telling her 'just one more Molly' but really I think I was telling myself! LOL!

Pipers 9;30 am temp says 97.5 no more panting no dgging just sleeeeeeeeping .

clear ....My mom owns a grooming business, so I know anal gland fluid....I am sure that is what it was. Piper was groomed about 6 weeks ago ( I brush her 2x's a day ) so they were emptied then . It was only a small amount but I think it was caused by a contraction.All discharge has been the colour /consistancy of egg white.
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you ....I am new to this stuff :)

Well at 9:32 last night after only 15 mins of pushing Piper gave birth to a beautiful little girl 2 ounces everything happened beautiful....then terror I saw no placenta w the pup but knew that it would probably come out with the next pup. so then it happened I looked and saw a complete breech baby DOUBLE the size of the first . It was stuck ...I was doing my best but it was not moving . Then I realized that Piper was in trouble the pup was in trouble and if it did not come out...well you all know. I pulled the pup down and out towards Pipers jaw and am still surprised at how much force was needed, I thought I could have broken it's little bones ... Pup (girl) came out and was limp . really struggling and did not look right at all ....suction was taking out alot of fluid ....I paniced threw down the suction and (sorry) covered the pup's nose & mouth ...sucked it out myself ..little movement, used a warm towel wrapped it up and gave the pup tiny breaths ...
She came around so fast after that ....Piper is doing great . She is a terrific Momma does anyone have any advise on what I could have done in addition ? Or what should I be looking for with concern to Piper , pups in the next few days ?
I think I am keeping that last Puppy ...her name is Lucky :)

Wow! You are so brave! Perhaps it was your quick thinking that saved that baby girl! How are they doing now? Congratulations!

so far so good ...thanks , I think a sick sense took over me , i am still amazed that it turned out as it did . Pipers tummy feels empty almost no discharge her temp is 101.8 .
But she is not eating her kibble . I gave her some cottage cheese and an egg , that she took. any advise /?
Vet says to take her in for a check, I have a bad feeling about bringing those pups outside though
