| There you go.....glad we could get you your own thread started so you can get some help. If she is just pushing lightly then she is in the early stages of labor. Once she starts pushing hard then you know the time is coming soon. This site has a lot of info that you can read and help you...

Cow's Milk should not be given, only Goats Milk. Forget everything you have read on how to administer Calcium.... forget everything about giving tums, cottage cheese, cheese, icecream.. etc. It’s useless. The body needs the calcium to be delivered with the correct ratio of Vit D and Phosphorus or it doesn’t absorb it, it’s useless. Pet Cal has this correct ratio. Another thing that has it is, believe it or not.. a scrambled whole egg! Of course everyone knows not to start calcium until the litter is whelped.. no giving it to PG bitches… I do give some calsorb during whelping If things slow down on a larger litter, but never before whelping. Make it a general practice to scramble your bitch an egg every day, and depending on weight, give ½ to a whole pet tab per day. I gave it to a 8 lb bitch ½ in the morning ½ at night…this is the “daily dose” for about a 20 lb dog who was NOT nursing a litter…so just fine for ½ the size, but nursing a litter. I would grind up the pet tab in the food processor and put the powder in the egg when I scrambled it. Also, check your dog food for Soybeans, soy protein, or anything related to soy in any way. For SOME reason that is not completely understood by me (many menopause supplements contain soy, or are soy based, so this seems to be a contradiction).. soy protein can interfere with the absorption of calcium in dogs. If your food has soy of any sort, change to a food that does not for the duration of the weaning of the litter.

| Your girl has been shaking since yesterday, something isn't right. There is no shaking in the first stages of labor. I'm not sure of your question; how long do the contractions last? There are danger signs, if your girl has been having strong contractions for the last hour and no pup....it is an indication that there is problems. Did you see a vet yesterday? You should be taking every precaution to insure your girl's safety. Are you in contact with a vet? That is who you should be asking these questions of. People on the internet, not being there and assessing your girl and unable to visually see what is going on cannot give you complete, educated advice.
