Morning, I'd like to pick the brains of those who use pit and/or calcium to assist w/labor and delivery how long they wait after the first puppy to use either and what schedule they follow, dosages, injection site (thigh?) etc. I learned 1/2 a cc (pit...is that one "t" or two) an hour AFTER the first puppy (if no puppy could be felt in the actual birth canal breeched). My last delivery (9 total) lasted an awfully long time though w/ the last puppy being born dead, I'm second guessing what I'd learned and he haunts me. I often wonder if I'd been more aggressive w/ "help" getting the delivery over more quickly, if he may have made it. Thank you in advance.
