So the night before last I looked in on one of my rats who was due any minute to give birth. She was HUGE so I knew she was close. When I checked on her she was laying on her back panting and her vagina was swollen so I knew she was in labor. The next morning there were no babies, but later in the day we noticed a couple of dead babies.

We have removed 5 dead babies so far (yesterday) and I figured she would be done by now, but I just got home from work and there are still no more babies. Her tummy is still REALLY big and I KNOW there are still babies in there.

Is there anything I can do for her to help her along? Or do I need to just let her ride it out and hope for the best? I've never had a rat do this before and Im worried she might have one sideways thats blocking any more from being born. Anyone else ever have this problem? Can I help her at all? Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.
