Dog dystocia situation 1: labor pains are weak. Some bitches do not exert enough force when giving birth, or exert only a little force at the beginning of labor pains. In addition, they lack daily exercise and lack of exercise of their muscles and bones, which will cause weak labor pains. Some female dogs are afraid of pain, are obese, or are dissatisfied with the birth environment, which may also cause weak labor pains. On the other hand, weak labor pains may also be caused by low calcium in the bitch's blood, or by the inactivity of the hormones that cause labor pains.

Dog dystocia situation 2: narrow birth canal. The fetus is not too big, but it cannot be delivered smoothly. At this time, it is most likely caused by the narrow pelvis of the female dog itself, which prevents the fetus from passing through, or by the underdevelopment or narrow vagina. If this happens, ask your veterinarian to perform a caesarean section.

The third condition of dystocia in dogs: abnormal fetal position. During delivery, the fetus is not delivered head first as normal, but adopts other incorrect postures to advance toward the birth canal. This is called fetal malposition. Some incorrect fetal positions can still give birth smoothly, while others can cause decisive dystocia. Therefore, if the female dog has severe labor pains and the time is tight, but still cannot deliver the fetus, it is necessary to suspect whether the fetal position is incorrect. Fetal malposition can usually be diagnosed through X-rays.
