Well my little angel Guidoune went into labour at 1:00 am today (march 14 2007) at day 64?and at 3:45 am her water broke?and she began hard contractions and pushing?but after 30 minutes I was starting to get worried?where was the puppy? Sadly this little puppy blocked the canal and we thought the rest were back up!!! After about an hour I called my vet and took my girl in?
He wasn?t sure if he was going to get the puppy out by inducing her labour but after feeling inside her he decided that it would be best to have the caesarean done. At the same time I decided that I wanted to spay her also, she is 3 ? and it was the best thing for her.
Well we got home and after about an hour we called the vet to hear some news?
But of course we are English and here in Quebec it?s sometimes easy to misunderstand?.lol
So I asked them ?est ce que le chiot est mort? which means ?is the puppy dead?
And she said ?oui? which is ?yes?
But what she understood was ?est ce que le chiot est un male? which means ?is the puppy a boy??
After the phone call I knew that the only pup didn?t survive?
So I went to pick her up so discourage about everything that went on?
When we arrive at the vet I asked her how big was the little boy and she told me?he was really big too big to pass the canal?
And then she showed me just how big with her too hands.
Then she said?.he?s got a big belly, and he?s drinking really well on the mom?
And I answered ?Drinking????
She said yes the puppy?
Then we kinda figured out the misunderstanding!!!
She said if they would have waited another hour longer he would have died. By the time they took him out the bag was off of his head and he was slowly drowning. She said they had to take out lots of liquids but he is a fighter and he made it.
He weighs 6 ounces!!!!
But he is such a cutie! And he is healthy which is the most important?
So mum and pup are doing fine,
We named him ?Willy? because he has such a will to live!
He has a for-ever home with us and his mummy. We will have our little Willy neutered when he is old enough.
Just thought I would let everybody know the update on my little angel Guidoune!
I will post pictures in a couple of days!
Take care
