my dog is in labor?????? i need to ask everyone a question, after my baby starts pushing, how long should i let her try to have her babies on her own before i call the vets? she has started pushing now? every 45 seconds she pushes. :confused: :confused: :confused: |
20 minutes pushing without a pup warrants a call to the vet |
I got this off of this site http://www.debbiejensen.com/whelping.html Note # If the Dam is pushing and grunting and crying out in pain that lasts for over an hour with no visible pup, you maybe in trouble. This is when you need to search your gut. Ask yourself, How do you feel? Do you feel you are safe or in trouble. Go by your gut instinct. Read the Dams signs, her body is talking to you. She is probably safe if she is napping between contractions, but if is she becoming exhausted from constant pushing and straining, if she appears close to collapse you maybe in trouble? She is telling you something is wrong and a puppy maybe to large to pass thru her pelvis. If you feel you are in trouble. Call your Vet and get ready to seek help. |
i'm scared, this is her first litter so i don't know what to expect..i know everytime she pushes she gets up and walks in cicles and then licks herself :confused: |
Try to stay calm. if you dont it will make the momma very nerves. How long has she been doing the pushing? |

Stage 2 - pre labor Digging Shivering Panting Staring at her rear end Licking vulva excessively Mild Uterine Contractions Stage 3 - Labor Hard Uterine Contractions Extreme Shivering Water Breaking Grunting and pushing Visible sign of the First pup and delivery (Whelp) But with out any signs of pup? |
