You guys aren't going to believe this one. Remi had her third pup at 1:40 and took a break. She delivered the placenta from the last pup at 5:00 and a water bubble presented. She licked it and broke the water. At 6:00 we still had no puppy so I checked to see if I could feel any part of the pup. I didn't feel the pup in the birth canal but I could feel him moving. I started calling the vet at 6:30 and left a message every half hour. I called everyone I knew and couldn't get ahold of anyone. I gave her 2.5 ml of Calsorb at 6:30 with no results and repeated it at 7:00. At 7:45 I called the emergency clinic which is a good 1 1/2 away. I packed up Remi and the pups and got ready for the long drive. At 8:00 we were at the door and I noticed that she was pushing. I had the hubby watch her while I grabbed last minute items and he yelled that we had a pup. She popped out a 5.2 oz. baby boy. He's a bit sluggish but is trying to nurse. He was covered with yuck but we got him all cleaned up. Remi has been throwing up since about 7:15 and isn't feeling her best but I'm sure she's glad that she's done. After being up all night and being so stressed thinking that I'd lost this puppy I can say, "Thank God that we are done and everyone is safe" Thanks for all your prayers, they worked!
