Tom in the past i have let females lay but 1 good lady vet taught me a bunch once a female has a pup and lays longer than an hour means she is tired and weak, and the more chances of dead pups. After and only after she has a pup and goes longer than an hour or two give a shot of oxytocin give according to her weight i give 1/4 cc to 50 pound female this helps induce labor and will let her have the rest of the pups, i have done this more than once but not usually(Since anny has laid that long look for green discharge --- sometimes black that is not a good sign) this also is the same as most call a clean-out shot to make sure all sacks and fluids are discharged to prevent infections. As in cattle this also is very good to help the production of milk. Good luck, im going through the same 1 female due today,1 female a day over. At temps tipping 100 it is important for us to watch closely. Friday our high is predicted to be 103. We do have a.c. and overhead fans in the whelping building so it is ok. GOOD LUCK call if i can help.
Rich looks like you got one comming on, hunt it alone 3 nights a week and 1 night with others let him rest the other nights, do that for 3 months and he should be a good one with progress !!!!!!!
Rock, due today----Scat is one day over--- watch'n close EXTREMELY HOT.
R.J. hope all is well, seen 8 treed 3 last night wish you were there when they led out one dog and carried out a huge DEAD cottonmouth. First one that got close this year.
