Re: labrador labor Congratulations on your puppies!!!! I'm afraid I can't really help with your questions, as I have no practical experience in this area, but I'd say that a litter of three wouldn't be hugely unusual, I don't think. While a higher number might be the average there will be a lot of variation around that. But I'm sure that others with experience of bitches who've whelped will be along to give better advice
Re: labrador labor Hello and welcome Is she were mine , I would be asking a Vet to check that there are no remaining pups in her, dead or alive as if a dead pup were to be retained ,it could be dangerous to your lovely girl . I dont want to sound like a scare monger but always think its worth playing safe if there is any reason for doubt , I hope all is well and congrats on your new pups
Re: labrador labor I can't add anything but wanted to say congratulations on your pups. I hope they and mum are well and thriving
