Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If it has been 2 days since the last puppy was born and you think there are more, she needs to see a Vet immediately to confirm that. She likely needs a C-section to get the remaining puppy(ies) out. Pochie can get really sick and the remaining puppy could die. I hope this helps and I wish Pochie the best!
