Chihuahua giving birth

Question
Hello Angela,
I have a question. My dog is giving birth and she released three water sacks and ate them, afterwards she didn't do anything. What should I do? Did she at the puppies? I don't think she did because they just had water in it. There were no puppies in them, I could see. Please answer me asap.
Thank You

Answer
Sometimes the sack will come out first, before the puppies, Sometimes the puppies did not develop in the sacks, you may end up with more sacks than puppies, she will want to eat the sacks, it is ok for her to eat a couple because that will stimulate labor but try to get her not to eat anymore because she will fill up on them and it won't be nutritious for the puppies, I will keep checking today to see if you have any questions for me. Good luck and I will be thinking of you and your dog today!
