Some times when mine are delivering they might deliver 2 or 3 pups before I see a placenta and then a puppy and several placenta might come out. |
No....lol~!!! I made very sure that both puppies that were born before I got there had placentas.She wouldnt eat them along with not doing anything else...
And then when it was born ,its little cord was "ripped" off about 1 inch from its tummy.
I thought this is IMPOSSIBLE....no oxygen...dead..it should have been dead.
Then she had a couple/few more puppies..At this point I really checked for placentas...lol
Then around the 7=8 birth. PLOP on the floor again...placenta.
I was like what the heck?!?!?!?!?!?
No puppy again....so I thought this puppy will for sure be dead
It was just some kinda lucky fluke the first time
And then when it ws born its little cord was ripped off about 1 inch from its tummy too!!!!. I know....you're right...I thought dead too..How could it not be? Ya know?!?!?!?
But they did better then the dry birth.
Thats why I'm wondring if its ever happened to anyone here?
Weird
