If she begins distress, what do I look for?

I wish I still smoked

Constant hard labor for more than an hour
Green or odorous discharge from the vulva
Any part of a pup stuck or protruding from the vaginal cana
one hour of hard labor and no puppies

Great response Mardelin! I am on the edge of my seat. I bet that puppy didn't realize she had so many family members out here praying for her!!!

I know what she's going through, her 1st time. I'd assisted my breeder in several deliveries, but there is nothing like doing it your 1st time. It's real scarey....

I just took her out to potty, she tried to poop (I couldn't tell if she went) and she pee'd. Came back in and she had a tug of war match with the blanket and scratched it more, licked herself and layed down. Acouple more pushes are coming. Still no water sak.

Lots of prayer coming from my end! This is so exciting and tense, even though I'm not there!

When you feathered her did you feel anything in the birth canal?

When she has contractions, do the look like a rubber tire has gone down the length of her body (very visable), does she use her whole body to push?

Are you sure she was trying to poop and wasn't pushing? Autumn squatted like she was trying to poop when she was actually pushing her puppies.

Here's another possibility: is it real wet under her. It could be that the water sack has broken and this is a dry birth.

So I haven't eaten all dau so I ran out to the kitchen to make a sandwich came back in and she 's begging for food! And ate a little piece oflunch meat!

I didn't feel anything, I think I felt her bone.

When the contractions come its like her belly gets REAL hard and round.

You might want to give her some NutriDrops or the whelping formula I gave you, to give her some energy.
