You did the exact right thing by the section. What is in the first photos is 2 separate birth sacs, which means two puppies trying to exit at one time. Doesn't work. During my first whelping, I had the same presentation and called the ER vet, who told me not to worry about it. I did worry about it, but stayed home per her instructions. The first puppy made it out alive and well after a lot of work but the other was dead and could not be revived. He had one heck of a trip-- by the time he was born he had no sac and had basically suffocated. Other puppies were delivered normally after that. I will never again ignore my gut instinct, never. I have not had this presentation again, but if I did it would be an immediate trip to the vet.

Good job and good luck with new babies!
