Hi there. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am sorry that Queenie is having this issue. It is difficult to say much without knowing what signs she is exhibiting. Also, have you taken her rectal temperature? How many days along is she? Please post again with more information so we can better help you. What I can tell you is that usually once the rectal drops below 98.6F labor usually starts somewhere in the next 24 hours. If she is actively contracting and nothing is happening you need to get her to a vet ASAP. You are welcome to post again with more information if you would like. Best wishes.
