Dog is pregnant need help
Hello people please help me, My ***** lab in pregnant and she won't sleep on her huge bed and she won't cuddle up on the couch either, this is really strange behavior from her she is 4 years old. She has started leaking milk from her teats every now and then and. She has started crying yesterday and she just started crying again this time it was much longer this time and she just keeps walking around and can't seem to get comfy. It is her 1st litter I have spoke to some vets in my area but waiting list was to long they have explained to me what to do if something goes wrong during labour but they forgot to tell me when will I know she in labour.
Than ks just need help

Will mum do the cord or do we have to

Mum would ordinarily chew the cord in two. It's surprising how fast 'instinct' kicks in when the puppy hits the ground, so to speak. I have noticed that the new mommy often doesn't try to nurse her pups until she is done with delivering. This isn't documented anywhere, it's just my observation over the years. Mum also will actually consume the afterbirth. This helps both stimulate milk production, and more labor. She needn't eat all of them, but 3 or 4 should be fine.
