Thank you everyone...
She's finally asleep. She has one of those stupid cones over her head... she hates it. And she's walking around the house crying... and this, from a dog who NEVER cries... at first, I thought she was in pain... but I think she's looking for her babies...
You're right, Tami... you can't know how tough this is if you haven't been through it.
You know, I'm still trying to figure out what happened. The people at the hospital said when they took the two last babies out, it seemed as though they hadn't just died... maybe a day or two. And I ask myself: how could that happen?
And the only thing I can think of is the Revolution product I put on her neck on June 11th... I took pains to ask the vet if it could be harmful for the babies and they checked and said no... still, I wonder. Why did she go into labor prematurely? Could it be because the pups were dead???
I guess I'll never know for sure.
One thing I am sure of: I'm soooo not cut out for this. I'm not a breeder. I just wanted a family...
I guess I'll just have to adopt to have one...
