so my girl went into labour today at 11 am. first pup was out what felt like in seconds. everything was fine, she immediately started to look after it. then she took about 4 hour long break before passing the second one out. that's the part that kinda worries me. can any dog breeder (or anyone with some experience) tell me how long is okay for the whole process? i mean, she's 7 hours into labour and she has only 2 pups out with at least 2 more to go. last check up we did confirmed at least 4 pups.
i called two different vets now (my regular vet is closed this weekend for technical reasons) and they both told me i should calm down, that it's okay for a larger girl to take her time passing her pups out. both said something along the lines of "don't stress her with needless travelling if the labour isn't longer than 24 hours"
what stresses me out the most is that this is almost exactly how i lost my boy a year ago. something happened, my regular vet was closed and i had to call 4 different ones to get some coherent information....
