| In labor??? Man, I just joined yesterday, and I might already need help. My sweet girl, Cassie, is 59 days today and hasn't eaten much for two days. Last night I stayed up with her as she dug in her box, panted and shook a bit, and was fairly restless. This morning, she cuddled on the sofa with me, and now she seems to be having contractions, but I don't know what they are like in a dog. She kind of tenses up and stretches her back legs. She kind of looks like she's trying to push, but the puppies are not very low. Does this sound right? Last edited by tammys; 06-13-2009 at 04:34 AM. |

| When they go into labor the belly will get really hard and knot up when they are having contractions. PLEASE, because of her age, watch her closely. If she pushes hard for a hour and no puppy is born then please take her to the vet. As I said before for her to have a litter for the 1st time at 9 1/2 years old can be very dangerous. Please keep us posted on how she is doing. |

| I can see something when she pushes, but nothing has come out yet. The vet said she could push for 2 hours, but I won't wait that long until I bring her in. It looks like something started to come out, then slid back in. It looked like the bag of water, but that already came out. When the puppy starts coming out, will its sack look like the bag of water? It just looked like a bubble. Thanks! |

| The bubble was just another water bag. As soon as she popped it, the baby started to come out. He was breech, and I had to help, but it was great! |

| We have him on a heating pad. He is still so cold. He nursed a little bit, but I knew he needed to get warm, so he's hanging out on the pad now with a towel over him. We have only heard a little squeak. I thought he would be more vocal. |
