Were you expecting your dog to go into labor soon? And/or did you know she was pregnant? If this is unexpected then I would recommend taking her to the vet to be examined as soon as possible. If however you were expecting your dog to give birth then just place her in a quiet, dark room and only check on her every hour or so. If she is having active contractions (you can tel by looking at her belly) and has not had any pups in 2 hours then you need to get her to your vet as soon as possible. I hope this helps. Please feel free to post an additional question or request a consult so we can help you further!
