If she’s having contractions and is not able to push the puppies out through her pelvis she needs immediate veterinary treatment. They will need to do a Caesarean section to remove them and they should spay her at the same time to prevent this from happening again. If she can’t give birth the puppies will die inside her and cause her to become sick and die also. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Lucy.
