Well,three placentas did finally come out but Tea's temp jumped to 104 this afternoon... took her and the pups to the vet and they gave her a shot of calcium, an antibiotic, fluids and another drug that was supposed to bring on more contractions to expell the remaining placentas. One of the vets thought they felt another head inside Tea' and was afraid that there was a dead pup and that she should get x-rays. They were mentioning a C-section at this point and my gosh, here she's got 6 nursing pups to care for.
Well, half an hour later the vet comes back and says NO more pups just a huge contracting uterus probably trying to push out the rest of the mess...whew...lord I think I let go a sigh heard from here to the west coast...that whole thing was darn scarey!!!
Well, she's home with her pups now, kinda lethargic from the whole ordeal and she has antibiotics to take in the morning.
Going to bring her back in to check on her tomorrow as well as dock the puppies tails and remove the dew claws.
Nobody said this was going to be easy..and for those of you still reading this thread, please say a little prayer that Tea' feels better, I would be very grateful
Thank you everyone.
