Question
My chihuahua just give birth to three puppies and her belly is still big, the last puppy was born at 10:10 am, and is already 4:33pm. How much more do I have to wait for the next puppy to come out? Is It normal or do I have take my dog to the vet????

Answer
HI Diana. I hope that this has been resolved by now, but if it hasn't, then I would definitely suggest you taking your girl into the vet to have her checked out. Normally, a dog should only go about 3 hours in between puppies. Anything longer than that, and she needs to be checked out. I hope everything's ok!
