| we are in labor! This is debbie (joeysmom). I'm at Gina's. Bailey is contracting, panting and leaking fluid. No bubble. Been going on for about an hour. How long, usually, till we see bubble? We don't see anything other than fluid coming out of her vulva yet. She's pretty calm, except not wanting Gina to leave her side. We also can feel the bulge behind her vulva. thanks! |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I have this posted in my wall.. Stage 2: is active labor. The fetal membranes rupture (often called the "water breaking") and the first fetus enters the pelvic canal, triggering Ferguson's reflex and strong labor contractions. Normally the birth of a puppy should be seen within one to two hours of these strong contractions. The bitch may then rest several hours between pups. Stage 3: is delivery of the placenta or fetal membranes. This usually occurs within 45 minutes after the birth of each pup. |

If the dam has been pushing hard and steady for a half an hour and there is no pup in sight, put on a surgical sterile glove and insert your finger in the vaginal canal to feel if there is a pup in the canal. This is called "featherin" and sometimes will make the bitch get down to business and push some more. If the pup is right there, another few pushes should get it out. If not, alert your vet immediately. Other danger signs before, during and after whelp --- Call Your Vet 1. Cosntant hard labor for more than an hour with no results. 2. Green or odorous discharge from the vulva 3. An interval of two hours between pups with occasional hard labor 4. Any part of a pup stuck or protruding from the vaginal canal. 5. One hour of hard labor and no puppies 6. Three hours of no labor betwee pups and you think there is another pup. C-section A decision on a c-section is not simple. One vet will try to "pull" a pup that is stuck in a posterior position, and another may decide that a section will give the pup that is stuck and the pups behind it a better chance of survival. The stress and extra pushing for a "stuck" pup could very well cause fatal respiratory distress in the pups behind the one that is stuck. Each situation is different, and you and your vet will have to make a decision with which you can live. The most important decision you can make about a c section is what anesthesia your vet uses. The drug of choice is Iso or Sevo,
