My dog is having her babies right now she is pushing and fluids are coming out. And she is not producing milk, I don’t want her puppies to die and its 12: 42 am. No pet store is open. I already have her bed made water and towels.
Is there anything else I have to do?

Getting The Best Dog Bed
If you own a dog, especially an older one, getting a good dog bed is a really great gift to give your beloved pet. The need a good place to rest and sleep just like us. After all, you wouldn't want to bed down in an uncomfortable mattress or sleep on a hard surface all night.
Sleeping on the floor or even on a bad or uneven bed isn't the best thing for a dog to do. As they get older it becomes even more important that they have a really good dog bed to sleep in.
The other reason to get a dog bed is, of course, to keep them off of yours or off of the best couch in the house. If you don't want them all over your furniture, get them a comfortable bed of their own that they will love and use for a long time.
From the simplest dog beds to the more elaborate types, there are many to choose from. Some are more or less like large bean bags, some are donuts or round pet beds. There are also bolster dog beds, which have sort of a pillow going all around the outer edge of the bed. Dogs like to use this as a pillow for their head while they sleep. Then there is the orthopedic dog bed and memory foam beds, which are among the best you can get.
There are also outdoor dog beds which are made for outdoor areas like the back porch and there are also heated dog beds. These are great for dogs, especially during the cold winter months. Even when you have the heat in the house cranked up, the floor can sometimes stay cold and it's not good for your dogs bones and joints. A heated dog bed will keep your canine pal comfy and warm the whole time like a warm blanket.
Another option you may want to look into is getting a waterproof dog bed. We have all taken our dog out for a walk when it is raining and wet outside. Whether we want to or not, we have to go out on those miserable days when the rain is pouring and we both get soaked. After a good towel dry, dogs still have some moisture left on their coat and skin. The nice part about a waterproof dog bed is that your dog can lay on this type of pet bed without getting it soaked on the inside where the water stays put. These beds are made for this so they do not get ruined every time your water soaked pooch rests on them. For those dogs that prefer to stay out on the porch or outside near their kennel or dog house, they are much happier on a waterproof bed than a conventional one that soaks up the water. It's not only a comfortable resting spot for sleeping and lying down, but it will last longer too.
Not all dog beds are the same just as not all dogs age the same. When your dog gets older, he or she will most likely develop the same types of aches and pains due to joint problems that humans do. When your dog starts to slow down due to joint pain, inflammation and arthritis, the best thing you can do is to look into getting them a memory foam dog bed.
As soon as your are aware that you dog is suffering from orthopedic issues, the floor is simply not a good place for them to sleep. Even a conventional dog bed just will not do. The even balance of a dog's weight is more important at this stage of their life than at any time before. A bumpy or uneven bed is not good for the existing joint pain and can actually worsen the dog's problems over time.

If after the puppies come and start nursing she still doesn’t have milk you can always run to Walmart usually open 24 hrs they have puppy milk and baby bottles

let her do her thing.
September 3rd, 2010 - 3:24 pm
She will produce milk when they start nursing so don’t worry just watch and be there in case she gets in trouble but it sounds like its going okay so far.

Her body will do what it is supposed to. Just keep an eye on her, help her IF she needs it (like if she is busy cleaning the back of a puppy and the sac is still covering the mouth and nose, peel the sac away and turn the puppy around so she can get his face clean). Tomorrow, go to the pet store and buy some puppy milk, for the mother. It will help her replace nutrients she loses while nursing.
And you will have some on hand to supplement with puppies if she isnt producing enough milk. GL!!

Her milk will be in by the time the birthing process is complete. I worked for a vet for about 4 years, & have never heard of a dog not producing at all. It sounds like you have what you need. Try to stay calm, so you are able to keep your dog calm & comfort her during this exhaustive time for her. Relax!!! Nature will do all the work. The only thing you need to watch is that the mother open the sack. If she does not, you’ll have to do that, so the pups do not sufficate. Just rip it open, wipe them off, and rub the puppy from head to toes vigoriously until you see movement or hear them whimper a bit. Good luck with your litter.

leave her alone..
Keep checking on her though but dont’ hang out. Dogs have puppies all the time with no help from humans. (that is why we have too many dogs in our shelters)
September 3rd, 2010 - 3:24 pm
her teats fill with milk a few days before she gives birth, give her time, dont mess with her but maybe watch her contractions and pushing time make sure it dosent slow down usually its a puppy an hour. and im sure you didnt get her x-rayed to see how many pups to expect…..
if nothing comes out and her contractions have slowed then she needs to see a vet ASAP!
also how would a pet store help in this situation??
September 3rd, 2010 - 3:24 pm
Let her do her thing lol
And Dont leave her unattended (:

If she does not have a pup within 6-7 hours, you need a vet..
Don’t worry about the milk, that usually comes in as they have pups and even new borns do not have to eat immediately – they can go 4-6 hours. The pups trying to nurse will usually bring the milk in.
Relax – it’s going to be a long night. Just watch the pups as the next pup comes, usually I have a warm box to hold the pups in while a new pup is coming. Then I put them back as the mom relaxes between deliveries.
As the delivery goes on, you can offer a few tablespoons of cold yogurt or ice cream for energy as the mother dog tires.
When you think the delivery is over, do have mom checked by the vet tomorrow – retained pups are BAD for mom and her pups.
