How Long Between Puppies Giving Birth. It is now nearly three hours since the second puppy was born and i know there are at least 3 more. How long does it take for dogs to give birth?
While one dog may sail through delivering five puppies, another may take over 24 hours to deliver the same size litter. There is no set time. If she doesn't, you might have to gently clean the nose so the puppy can.
Please no accusatory of spaying or dogs being killed in shelters.
Most chihuahuas have between one and four puppies, with two being the average size litter. The first stage of labor in dogs lasts generally between 6 and 8 hours, but sometimes may also reach 12 hours. If she is having active and hard contractions for more than 30 minutes, you need to call your vet and see if he wants you to come in. While large breeds tend to deliver later.
