Chris, She appeared to have the puppies well positioned to whelp naturally. I took her to visit the vet because it had been 9 hours since her water broke and no contractions or puppy. Of course, on the way to the vet she started delivering the first one in her crate, the head barely presented beyond her nose when we arrived. He helped her with that one and she was a perfect looking ruby girl(no white) who never took her first breathe. He worked on her for 5 minutes massaging her heart but it wasn't meant to be. He felt all the puppies and the position of the next on which was fine and gave her oxitocyn misspell? to help with contractions and said if she does not present the puppies within the next hour, we have to do a c-section. She only had 1 contraction in the parking lot and 1 40 minutes later. I waited 1 hour and 15 minutes before taking her back to the vet for surgery. The total were 5 puppies with one DOA, so 4 resulted from that breeding. Her 2 1/2 year old daughter did a beautiful job of delivering 7 puppies within 2 hours and I was there to assist! The hard part will be deciding who stays and letting the rest go to their prospective home! It would be so easy to keep them all, especially since I have my first tri among the wholecolors! Decisions decisions, what is a girl to do?
Thanks for your thoughts.
