Question
my akita bitch had 1 pup at 2.40 last nite 2 hrs later it had 1 and its dead now 5 hrs later its just gave birth to another dead pup but its not in pain please help asap thanks

Answer
Hi Cathy

How old is your Akita?

Was she or the male tested at all prior to breeding?  

Typically 2 hours between pups is the maximum.

I would take her in to the vet for a c-section.  She could have an infection that is causing the pups to die after they pass.

Good luck
