Answer 1

well first off,you will know if she is having trouble.She will start whinning and walking around in circles.If you have to help don't try pulling the puppy out.gently ease it out .if you have to break the sack do it around the face so the puppy can breath.than let the mother chew the rest off the sack off.it usually takes about 3 to 4 hours for all the puppies to be born.as each one of the pups are born she will lick each and every one until they are clean.than she will nudge each one to a nipple..

WHoa deeeeepp beath! your dog will be fine, she knows what to do she will take care of cleaning up the puppies and the ubillicol cordes, if you try to take the pups away so they can all eat at the same time you will only stress the dog out and make her nervous, dogs can be in labor for hours a puppy might be born then their might be an hour of rest for the mamma, she will be okay just be sure to keep an eye on her, believe it or not she might feel better with you there (our dog did) just be careful not to touch the puppys a lot unless theres a problem because as i said before it may make her nervous.

Ok, most mama dogs know what to do and can handle it by instinct. Whether she struggles or not, it's always good to be by her side, talking soothingly and lovingly to her. Reassure her that you are right there by her side. It's ok to pet her gently while she's delivering. The best thing to do is call a vet for help BEFORE she delivers with all your questions. In the meantime, yes, they normally do take care of the umbillical cord themselves, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to 20-30 in between multiple births, mama will clean them up and take care of everything. If she struggles, you will definately know it! That's where the advise from the vet comes in. Just be there for her. That's the best thing you can do for her, that and to get the info from a vet BEFORE hand! Good Luck!!

Dogs have natural instinct when giving birth. She should be able to take care of the process herself. Each baby will come out in its sac, which the mother will break and eat. She will clean them in between each sac that comes out, and they will feed when they have all been birthed and cleaned. They are attracted to the heat of their mother, and will automatically begin feeding. Once again, she should do this herself. But if it would make you feel more comfortable, get a book or talk to your vet. Stand by and watch to make sure there are no complications, but let it go naturally. Good luck!

there are a lot of reasons why a lot of puppies don't survive, if you have a young mother,or if this is her first litter, she may be scared or traumatized,you should help her however you can, even if it's just to 'be there'. you need to get online and educate yourself as much as possible get your list of supplies,just in case,and have $500 on hand because that's what an emergency vet will charge you, just to 'look' at her.time varies btween pups maybe an hour,yes,let them eat as soon as the cord is cut, keep them warm cold puppies don't live long.she won't look out for old pups when she's having a new one,this is your job, hope this helps,best wishes,read read read!!! to much knowledge is no waste!!

Answer 6

generally the dog does handle it. so give her some time and try to take it easy; if it seems like it's taking a long time, you can maybe try to massage her tummy a bit, that might also help you feel if there are any more puppies coming, but yeah, if you're really stressing out about it, you might want to consider taking her to the vet if you suspect she starts to have any complications. most of the time our cats and dogs had babies and we didn't even know until after. hopefully your experience will be like that; just make sure she has a nice comfy secluded place to lie down and the rest should take care of itself.

Answer 7

if the dog starts pushing and does not produce a puppy with in an hour call a vet right away, if she develops a green discharge, and goes longer than a half an hour between puppies call a vet. dont worry about the cords mommy will do all the puppy care herself

Answer 8

CALM DOWN!
If you're this involved and worried, then you should have just checked your dog into an animal hospital! Really, it'll be best for you to just walk away. From the sound of it you will probably do more harm than good,.. you're thinking about this too much and WAY too excited!

Let the "Momma Dog" handle it!

Answer 9

You really should just leave the dog and the puppies alone unless she is obviously struggling. Chances are she will know what to do.

What kind of dog is it? Did you intentionally breed it?

Answer 10

Momma dog will do everything. You don't even have to be there. And you sound like you might make her nervous. I think it would be better if you leave the room during the process that has taken place a bizillion times without human intervention.
