Remi wasn't due to whelp until the 24th but she decided last night during a storm and power outage was a good time. I through my whelping kit together quickly and set up the whelping pen and box. She delivered a gal (4.8 oz.) at 1:30 this morning and a boy (4.4 oz.) at 4:40. The boy was a tough one. He was a dry birth and just as stuck as can be. I kept lubing her up and milking him down the canal. It took over an hour to get him out and by that time she was walking around the pen with his little bottom half hanging. Oh how I appreciate electricity! He's a bit slow to latch on this morning but I'll give him some sugar water and hope for the best. Mom is doing great but I'm sure glad she only had 2 for her first litter. The drama is never ending!
