If your dog is pregnant and you aren't sure whether or not she is in labor, watch her behavior for a few signs. A dog in labor will be restless, circle, pant, and dig at her nest. She may have a discharge as well. If she seems distressed or appears to be pushing hard and no puppy appears, she may have a puppy stuck. Call a veterinarian for advice.
