The babies are doing fine this morning. There were 3 pups total, including the first little girl who didn't make it. So there are two living babies, one boy and one girl.
Mikayla was in a panic when she had that first puppy and it was gone. I was doing everything I could to keep her calm so she would have the others safely. The little boy was born second, he was almost dead...he had the placenta wrapped around his neck somehow. I couldn't just rip it off, but I had to work quickly to get him out of the sac before he got fluid in his lungs. I opened a hole where his mouth and nose were, got the fluid out just before he aspirated, and then worked on the placenta gently. He was super weak by the time I got it off. It took me 10 minutes with a hair dryer and plenty of towels to get the life back into him. When he started moving around and kicking, and he crawled to momma to nurse furiously, there was a big sigh of relief.
Whew what a night!
Their names are Aidyn and Arrianna. I'll post pics in a little while.
Thank you guys for hangin in there waiting with me!!!
