Question
She had one at 4 this morning and the 2 one at around 8 this morning and she has had a few small contractions sence then but we really dont know what to do.  We are not sure if there is any more in there.  

Answer
Hello Maggie,

Although I have helped my dogs deliver numerous litters, I suggest you call your vet and ask for help on confirming your dog's health after delivery.

I've had times where I had to reach in myself to pull out the last pup or a dead pup, but I was taught by my dad who was a farmer and did that type of thing regularly on our other animals including sheep, pigs and cows.
