What If My Dog Only Gave Birth To One Puppy?

But Her Stomach Is Still Big and She is Still Panting?
She's A Beagle And Last Time SHe Gave Birth To 3 Puppies Though One Died.
Answers:
vet. now.
Call your vet.
How long has it been since the puppy was delivered? If she's still acting like she's in labor, you should see a vet. It is possible the next puppy is too large for her to deliver. Sometimes, however, only one puppy will be delivered.
Take her to the vet, she could have a puppy stuck in the birth canal. And then, please spay her, we have enough unwanted animals in the world.
be.happy!!
How long has it been since she last gave birth to the first puppy. I could take like a hour or so for the next ones to come. If no other come then I would call the vet. Maybe she has a still born or one is tangled in the umbilical cord or something like that. I would call the vet if it has been longer than a hour. If she has pups still in there they have to come out or they can die and there is a chance that she could die too. Good Luck.
Then you take her to the vet, and he checks to see if she is finished.. Gives her a shot of oxytocin likely if there isn't a puppy stuck / blocking the exit.. Otherwise you gather up all your cash and you have a c-section.
Do NOT leave your dog 24 hours if she has already had 1 puppy.. IF she is in labour, panting, then you should take her to the vet.. She might have a puppy that can't get out.. Too big, wrong position etc.. If this is the case, SHE AND PUPPIES WILL DIE. DO NOT WAIT 24 hours.
Bring her to the vet pronto! If she was suppose to have more than one, a puppy might be stuck in the birth canal. Take her to the Vet ASAP!
OMG, get her to a vet! If it has been several hours since the 1st pup, the pups could be too big, could be stuck in the birth canal, 2 pups could be stuck (log jam).
I take it you didn't have an x-ray to find out (about) how many to expect???
GO TO THE VET NOW! So mant things can happen and if she's been panting and trying to deliver for over an hour she could be in SERIOUS trouble. Go now!
You mean you still don't know anything about whelping and you've bred the poor thing again? sigh..
If she is still panting, chances are good she is not done. There can be a delay between puppies, although usually they have two and then a break. Gently feel her abdomen looking for a couple of things - 1. hard knobs that would indicate a puppy or two still there, or 2. intermittant contractions of the abdomen, indicting more labour to come.
If you beagle does not give birth to the remaining puppies, that I strongly suspect are still there, within an hour or so of the last one, I would call an emergency vet service and take her there immediately. A retained pup can be dangerous. It could be that the next puppy is too large or in the wrong position to pass through a narrow pelvis and your beagle may require a Caesarian section to save her life and possibly still save the life of the remaining pups.
My advice actually, is if you value your pet, don't wait. Call a vet now.
what kind of question is that so what if she has only one puppy
