Most of the deliveries (aka. parturition) performed at the veterinary center are due to dystocia. Dystocia is when your pet is having a slow or difficult delivery. Bring your pet to the nearest vet if you observe the following:
- Your pet spent 30 minutes of strong contractions but no pups delivered.
- Your pet spent 60 to 120 minutes of weak or infrequent contractions but no pups delivered.
- If you waited more than 2 hours for the next pup to come out.
- The pup is stuck or hanging out.
