I have a female Hogg Island that started to give birth, 4 hours ago she passed 5 dry very hard slugs, I am geussing she retained them from last season (tanish brown). She is now pushing around like they do after the babys are born and she looks like she is super loaded still, but not contracting any more. Is there anything I can do to help her out? All of my local vets are idiots, I usualy have to tell them what to do, but I am at a loss here on this one. Any advise would be great.

Thanks, Ed
