She has been in labor for 2 days now what can I do to help her


If your dog has been in labor for two days, it's essential to understand that this is a serious situation requiring immediate veterinary attention. Prolonged labor can indicate complications such as a stuck puppy, uterine inertia, or other issues that could endanger both the mother and her puppies.
While you prepare to seek veterinary help, there are a few things you can do to support her. First, try to keep her calm and comfortable in a quiet, warm area. Make sure she has access to water, but it's best to avoid feeding her large meals during this time. Keep a close eye on her for any signs of distress, such as excessive panting, crying, or visible discomfort. It's important to resist the urge to assist with the delivery yourself, as improper handling can cause harm.
The most crucial step is to contact a veterinarian immediately to assess the situation and provide the necessary care. They may need to perform an examination or even a cesarean section if there are complications.
Please take her to a veterinary hospital as soon as possible. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.
