Ooooh, it's good to be back here

Should you not know the signs of labour inside out and upside down if you are breeding your dog?

Yes its a sign..Get your vet on standby...I hope you will be able to see when there is a problem, if you dont know good signs, i doubt you know the bad ones

I thought that chihuahua's could not give birth my themselves and it had to be by caesarian (sp)....unless i am mis-informed. I would take her to see your vet asap.

Chihuahuas are a breed that often need c-sections, but some manage just fine, Until a problem arises and the girl is struggling i would not take to the vets, just have one on standby.
But then again, this is the members first litter and they dont seem to be knowlegable enough to be whelping a litter..*runs and hides*
