Dogs give birth two at a time but generally five minutes apart in order to give mom time to clean up baby and have them breathing on their own before the next one arrives. Then about half an hour after that the next two appear and the process begins all over. Emma had given birth to both babies at the same time (assuming because she had already passed the afterbirth) and the one was still lying in her sack unattended. I quickly moved the baby up to Emma for immediate care and she worked on it but it was too late. There was barely any life in the little thing. I performed CPR as per instructions in our breeding book and though the tiny creature made a few gasps of air, it had no life in it and far from able to feed. I layed it next to Emma and watched as she cleaned it up some more, rolled it around until it was tucked under her cheek.
