Back in Oct we found a stray dog. We looked for her rightful owner but came up empty. We decided to keep her because we grew very attached and she is now apart of our family. She was just barely pregnant when we found her. She is now at full term, has started nesting as of last night at aprox 6-7pm. She then made her whelping area under my son's crib and has been under there and wont come out since aprox 9-10pm last night. Prior to that she was pacing, shivering, panting and real gaggy. I did some reading and it said that is a sign of labor. It is now 11:05am and nothing. No puppies, and she is still under the crib, will pant and shiver every few mins and then sleep for a few mins. I have read that labor can last 6-12 hours before delivering the first pup, but then read other places that after labor starts it is usually w/in an hr. Im very confused on what to do and it seems that every vet I call for info wont tell me over the phone. Any vets on here that can help me please? Thanks!
