Dogs water broke 1:30 hours ago but still no puppy's?

She is was having contractions just 20 min ago and now she is licking herself and trying to dig her own bed. Should we keep her in one small room or should we just let her walk around? She is also making nois and stuff. Is it normal for a dog not to give birth 1:30 min after her water broke. Because I read something that said if it goes more then 45 min we should call the vet. And her breed is English Cocker Spaniel and we are only expecting 2 puppies.

    The things you don't know anything about may be the death of your dog. This is so TYPICAL of BYBers. Ignorance in abundance. Why didn't you educate yourself long before you bred this dog? Now you ignorance may be the death of your dog. She could need a C-section if she can't deliver on her own.

    Have you called your breeding mentor or your Vet? I do not like BYBers at all & I don't help BYBers either. You really really should have done the tons of research necessary to breed dogs.

    Can't help you. You wouldn't even understand instructions. Call your VET.

    Ask your breed mentor who has been guiding you through all the appropriate genetic testing, prior to breeding, and helped you choose an suitable sire, that has had the appropriate genetic testing as well. Or the vet that has been providing the prenatal care, will be providing the postnatal care as well as examining the pups within 24 hours after their birth, not strangers/children on YA.

    Should they survive, please spay her once the pups have been completely weaned, instead of risking her life and those of any future pups, again.

    and why should I help a byb

    I hope you are (with your vet) because chances are she could have a big puppy and be unable to produce it. With small litters, they often 'sit' meaning it's more likely that a C.Section will be needed.

    I'd not ever let one of mine for much over 1 hour (each delivery) if they are having strong contractions.

    We do not "ENABLE" backyard breeders. Responsible breeders KNOW what they are doing, rather than relying on whoever is on some chat board, and have & their vet, on speed dial = for emergencies.
