How can I tell if my dog's newborn puppy is dead ? It's not breathing or moving and she keeps sitting on top of it

You can feel with your hand if her little heart is still beating. From your description I am afraid she already passed away. I am sorry to hear that and my thoughts are with you. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
