I am sorry Candy had to go through all this. But I can tell you your Vet is right. It may be rare, but I had a dachshund that would have had 1 puppy. She was x-rayed and everything. When I noticed she was not getting much bigger, I had her checked again, and my Vet said the same thing. She either lost it, or it was absorbed in her system. I felt bad too, because I really wanted to keep her baby, but was so glad she was alright. After that I had her spayed. By the way, my dachshund's name is Candy. She will be 10years old this year.
Sending lots of hugs your way. Darlene
