QuestionMy boxer had a puppy at 3:40 pm and it was dead. Now it is almost 8:00pm and she has not had anymore, but she is panting and having contractions still. I don't know what to do i can't really afford to go to the vet but if i have to then i will. Any suggestions will greatly appreciated.
AnswerHi Jennifer
Try getting you female up and walking. Take her for a spin around the yard. The next pup could be stuck and walking and moving can reposition the pup.
4 hours between pups is a long time, longer than I like to see or recommend. A shot of oxytocin from the vet will get things moving. Your vet may recommend a emergency c-section.
The alternative waiting it out, and then you run the very real risk of losing the entire litter plus your female.
