My dog is in labor!!!

[firefly_2000]

So my 9lb dog went into labor this morning and still no pups. She has been having contractions and clear discharge, but no sac or anything of that matter. She has been panting, shaking, contracting. My vet is closed now and I don’t want to call the emergency number unless it’s an actual emergency. Any advice would be helpful.

Call the emergency number. They are far more qualified to advise.

Have info ready for them....

What breed your dog is
How many hours in obvious labor
Last ate or drank
Whether she has seen a vet while pregnant


The longer you wait the more critical things become.

It sounds like she's needs to be seen asap.

she has seen the vet once last week for an X-ray. We have talked to the vet multiple times since she began labor today. She started having contractions at around 11 o’clock this morning. She is currently pushing with each contraction. She is a Maltipoo. She just drank, but hasn’t eaten today.

What time is it where you are now?

It is 4:45pm here.
East coast is 6:45.

It makes a difference......

Has she had puppies before?


I'd leave her be (since vet isn't an option)...the less stress the better.

no, she is a first timer

no, she is a first timer

She has her own calm spot/area correct?
No other dogs around?

The quieter her whole room the better.
