well I read somewhere that when there is fever that usually means the body is trying to tell you something- as in humans. I believe it to be the same in doggies. Ansd sometimes when after delivery there may be difficulty in delivering afterbirth or sometimes there could be another pup stuck in there. Is she under a vet's care?

I would just relax (I know it is easier for me to say...) I can only imagine how you are coping.... I would not go anywhere right now...... I saw on the news the other day that a lady was helping her dog have pups but had to call regular 911 because of difficulty. AND THEY HELPED HER!!!!!

Cassie- I am new on this forum thing... I never had puppy experience, but I do think you'll do fine- Relax- then your dog won't feel your stress and she can relax. Let me know what happens.

Mommamia just nailed it for you Cassie- what a great site!! BUT IT DOES SAY IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH CALL THE VET !!!

JUST LIKE I SAID IN THE FIRST PLACE !!! CALL THE VET- they are the experts- they paid big money to go to school. Nowadays kids aren't born at home- You go to the hospital!
Good luck Cassie!

If you are going to breed a dog - you should invest in a breeder bible. My GS book tells all about things to expect in all events of life. And your vet is the expert for those things that happen not covered in the book.

Cassie, no offense, you need to get off here and call your vet.

None of us can really help you through a computer, you need a vet.

Cassie, that is MY name for it... that means it should have everything for that breed from A-Z so it can help you through stuff. You should not have to go to the vet EVRY TIME something happens. Sometimes on the bottom of your vet bill they ( mine does!) will list what you should have on hand for your pet- like thier own medicine cabinet or first aid kit.
HOW IS SHE DOING NOW ????

Great ! do as your vet has asked- forget the house for now.. Your pup is the one who needs you right now.

Actually I have a Chi but I got it from Taco Bell- my German Shep loves it and it doesn't squeak anymore- Just a bit of humor for you.

Cassie...I think it would be very benefical to your dog if you got your booty in the car and headed to the vet...why are you so against that???
