when a dog is in labor does she need to expell 1 sac or placenta for each puppy that she has, what happens if 1 doesnt come out? example 4 puppies, and only 3 sacs or placentas.
Yes, the last puppy can come out with the placenta attached. In many cases, the placenta is expelled shortly after the puppy is born, but sometimes it may remain attached until the puppy is delivered. It's important for the mother to expel all placentas to prevent infection or complications. If you notice any retained placentas, it's advisable to consult a veterinarian.
Occasionally dogs may give birth to only one puppy but if there are more i would get your dog to a vet a soon as possible
The time interval between delivering each puppy can vary, but typically it is around 10-30 minutes. However, if a puppy is taking longer to deliver, or the mother is experiencing complications, it is important to seek veterinary assistance.
It is normal for the sac and the placenta to come out with each puppy. It is also normal for the mother to EAT the sac and the placenta.
a puppy that needs help
After birth is only "designed" to perform as long as the pregnancy. In canine birth, the afterbirth or placenta is usually delivered like a puppy ... the last puppy. If your dog does not deliver the placenta, it will need to be cleaned out somehow, possibly by your vet.
Your dog probably has worms!!! Your puppy needs training.
A Mom could die if she had a puppy or a placenta stuck still inside her and was not brought to the vet to have it removed. A puppy sometimes dies after birth, it is called "fading puppy" and it is thought that there is something wrong with the puppy and it is natures way of taking care of it.
Any puppy who will not eat or drink needs to see a vet. Could be anything, but she needs to be checked.
No, your puppy just needs to be trained.
Let your puppy drink as often as it wants to, it's not going to drink for the sake of it - the puppy will drink because it needs to.
Love & attention
