I call around and the nearest one every one say is 2 hrs away and I would to have $1500 I have no way of getting there and I don't have $1500 I'm real worried about my dog right now I am massaging her belly and trying to move the pups around so they could come out. I don't know what else I can do.

You take the dog to a shelter or you call an animal rescue group OR you possibly watch her die a very painful death.

OR you raise the $1500 and drive two hours and get her some help.

AND then you spay her.

No rules for how much time between puppies. It could be one every ten minutes or one every 24 hours. No pattern is the same.

If mom is straining and pushing with no success then you need a vet's advice and you will be able to access this by calling around and being coached over the phone.

If you DON'T see the straining and pushing, relax about time between.

I don't think you need to massage belly, she knows what to do.

Edit: vet hotline 1 888 426 4435 $50 per case. Don't know how active this no still is. But you may want to Google "help for birthing puppies"

Please keep us posted !

The "rest of the story" is here: "She gave birth to one it was dead already at 9:50p last night and has not dropped any more and I feel at least 2 more is she going to be alright? Cause it is new years and I have no way to get her to Savanah or Charleston and we live in beaufort."

Um.. dogs should not be giving birth every 24 hours.. That is bad.

Your dog is having a dystocia. The puppies are to big to pass through the birth canal.

I suggest you take your dog to the shelter and sign her over.

This is absolutely horrible that you are going to allow your dog to die from a dystocia. You should not even own a pet due to 1. you allowing your dog to even breed.. and 2. are not able to provide the needed vet care that will save her life.

The puppy died probably from suffication. Dystocia's are dangerous for all parties involved.

Take your dog to the shelter now. Sign her over and move on with your life and please, don't ever own another pet... or at least make damn sure it is spayed/neutered.

Poor dog.

I see that the OP gave both of us reddies without spending the time to let us know how and why our answers are factually incorrect.

Figures - breeds without knowledge. Everything else follows.

Lucky098 · Jan 1, 2012, 04:11 PM

Oh well.. its not my dog dying from dystocia...

Poor thing.

You should not let a dog breed without a expert breeders advice and if the puppies aren't coming out now your dog is in serious danger she might even die.

Lucky098 · Jan 2, 2012, 09:48 AM

You can continue to give everyone reddies for our advice.. but that's not going to change the fact that you are failing to provide medical attention to a sick dog that is in labor.

What's going to happen in your situation, all the puppies are going to die in her and you are going to have a dead dog due to severe infection.

I feel bad for your dog. You are being very neglectful.. If I knew where you lived, I'd call animal control on you.

ERROR: You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Lucky098 again.

There is always a way to get the dog to the vet.. I have even had to consider rehoming my dog if he needs the expensive surgery on his legs. I will do anything to make sure he is healthy and well taken care of. Bills won't get paid, borrowing money whatever I have to do! I feel that is what responsible pet owners do.

And I remember this very well.

Yes, I've begged and pleaded and at the time took a THIRD job (I was already working two) to pay Vet bills for my GSD.

This is simply negligent. The sad part? Dog will die, OP will get another.

To get surgery on my dog, I am currently working for free at mim. Wage to pay it off... I couldn't stand watching that tumor steal her life away.. and it is totally worth it!

What I don't get.. is the OP obviously doesn't care about the dog.. so what is the harm in handing her over to the shelter? I know if my dog was having complications... and the only vet that was open was 2 hours away.. I'd have been in the car driving at the first sign of "not normal".

I'm sure if the OP was having complications with child birth, he/she'd be in the car driving to the hospital...

Poor thing :( I really feel bad for this dog.
