I have read that stage 1 of whelping being restless, shredding bedding drifting into deep panting can last for up to 24 hours but is there a time limit when I should become worried and call a vet, this started early this morning but poppy is calm and having a sleep at the moment thanks

if she is calm I wouldnt worry too much just keep an eye on her it could be the calm before the storm has she eaten today

Hi there my border x bitch was at that stage for around 24 hours,you just need to reasure her and keep an eye.When she gets to the stage of pushing,you cant miss it!,make sure that she doesnt strain for to long.The vet once told me any longer than an hour and seek veterinary advice.the time inbetween pups can be as long also,good luck,start stocking up on news papers.

Thanks she has just had 4 large pups 2 of each,I was starting to worry how long it would take but they came quickly in the end

Congratulations poppies, what breed are they?
