Gigi had 2 girls last night, actually 12:30 AM this morning via c-section. S
he started having labor yesterday around 5:30 and had the bubby at 8:35 and stopped labor. So by 9:30 we were at the emergency vets. Ugh! He said not to do anything and to just wait that she should have them soon. He took x-rays and said she looked fine - cost 244.00. He then said to call my regular vet - whom I could not get a hold of earlier, so as we were driving home I did get a hold of my regular vet and he said to bring her in. So now we had to change course and go 30 minutes south. It seems like all the vets around here are just wanting to use the emergency vets now for after hours, but luckily I was able to bring her in to my regular vet now. So here we go. We got there and he looked at here. He did not like that she was trying at 8:30 and thne stopped, so he did in internal aginal check and off we went to do a c-section. Good thing too! When he got in there - the smaller female's head was blocking the way for the first pup. So there is no way she would have had these pups on her own. We got home about 2AM. It was tought for Gigi at first - she was shaking and having a hard time. I gave her some Karo and started the heating pad as soon as we got in the door to my house. The smaller female had a hard time getting going, but strong now. She had a hard time nursing last night, so I had to suppliment her feeding. I am exhausted. Well, it is 7:12 AM and I am going to try to get some sleep. The pups are doing good and Gigi had some water and half and half just a little while ago. So I will fix her some Mother's Nature pudding later and give to her. That should help her. I need to get some liver too - in case the little female needs it (juice). Good luck everyone else.
