doriane | 08-23-2016 04:36 PM | How long was your Yorkie in stage 1 labour Just wondering how long your pregnant dog was in stage 1 labor ..panting digging shivering. I just got back from vet and got x-rays 2 puppies starting up the birth canal this was about noon, she started panting at about 7 am drinking water goes out for pee but it's 530 pm and still has not gone into labour . Vet said temp. Good and heart rate good...just need to know being in stage 1 for over 10 hours is normal. I have delivered over 20 litters and just do not recall waiting this long. But maybe I am just more aware |
