vets I have had many vets over the years..most were great, some were just so inexperinced when it came to breeding/whelping, they were learning on the job.
I had a girl who wasn't progressing well, so I took her in...my vet was away for the week and a sub was there...he gave her an oxyie shot and in about 5 minutes a little leg poked out...I stepped back thinking the vet would want to get at the puppy and help it out...he just stood there looking helpless, saying it was really bad luck that it was feet first and would probably die before she could push it out......so I showed him how to take a hold of the leg with a dry cloth and gently work it out enough to grab the other leg, then gently pull the pup out...he was amazed. He told me they did not teach anything like that in vet school. |
