Oh man that's so sad - I was holding my breath while reading and am so sorry you lost 2 puppies...
How is mommy doing now ?
That post was such a good example of WHY only people who know what they're doing should breed...I have a terrible feeling this happens way more than we'd like to think with even worse endings & You're right - it's NOT for the faint hearted. I only Helped with my neighbors dog once and that was enough for me - I would be so stressed going thru something you just described.
good luck with mom and babies...
