Had a huge scare with Gracie's babies! My hubby called me at work this morning saying that Gracie was going in circles and panting and kept licking her coochy. So I told him to wipe her and see if she's discharging. He said she had brownish green discharge. Now I'm freaking 'cause she's not due until Oct. 14! So I close the office and take off for home praying that she isn't aborting the babies. I get home and check her out and she has a dicharge the color and texture of a placenta, and she was nesting (I've never seen her do that before). I call the vet and take her in for an ultrasound. I told them what was going on and told them I wanted an ultrasound to check and make sure that there were still babies in there, any viable babies or was a false one and she's empty. So we saw a baby perfectly but the little booger would not turn so we could see the heartbeat so we don't know if that on is alive or not but we were able to see the umbilicle cord pulse and jump. We did find a heartbeat all the way up into her ribs but really didn't see a baby to go with that heartbeat. The vet said that it was hidden and we couldn't really see anything. So, since she's not running a fever, not discharging, still eating and drinking and peeing and pooping, we are giving her an antibiotic just in case and if nothing else happens then we will get x-rays and another ultrasound on the 10th.
