If more than an hour passes after the water breaks with no delivery, the Teddy is likely experiencing dystocia. Some dogs with weak stamina may develop dystocia mid-delivery from exhaustion, and the owner should give energy paste or canned food.
Finally, if the birth canal is too narrow or the puppy too large, it can get stuck halfway, with repeated straining but no delivery.
When dystocia is detected, take the dog to the vet promptly to determine whether a cesarean section is needed.
