She stayed down for about 5 hours and then decided to get up and eat!
Things are still the same although she seems a bit open. She still has that string of tissue hanging at the opening.. Not sure what that is, looks like a dark red string about the circumference of a spaghetti noodle,1 inch long.
The babie on her side is still kicking like crazy wanting out!
Not much if any movement under her tummy.
My gut feeling is there might be a dead fetus in the way of the live one. Will she still be able to deliver that way? Or should I call a vet?
I'm new to this so could be way off on my feelings. She still stops occasionally and breathes hard for a bit. She is rubbing her sides on anything she can find also. Trying to position the babies?
Thanks Gary and Sherry for your support.
Think I will get a nap in today just in case things progress tonight.She rubs her back legs on things just at the start of her udder. doing that alot.. is she itchy or maybe legs hurt?
Taking a deep breath.Trying to stay calm.
Thanks
