I've moved your thread to the dogs forum as you'll get more responses.

Your dog is 11 years old and having puppies?

11 years old is far too old for you to be breeding her. She may not be able to have the pups as well as she should.

It's not uncommon for an hour or two to go between pups but if she does not have another one fairly soon or begins to show any sign of serious stress then you need to call an emergency vet asap and be prepared to spend several thousand on an emergency c-section.

Once she has finished having the pups you really need to get her spayed. She is too old for this and it can and will negatively impact her health and quality of life.

I didn't even know an 11 year old dog could have puppies! :eek:

Generally speaking they can't... they usually die during delivery, the risk is even HIGHER if it is their first litter.

This should not have been allowed to happen.

While I am far too late to offer any advice other than to say I hope you got your dog to the vet immediately if she ran into any trouble.
