I went back and read the posts again. I really want to believe but there certainly are some suspicious details.
5/16 She says the yorkie is large (11 lbs), the vet saw 7 puppies on xray
5/16 Another post she says the vet said puppies do not appear big on ultrasound. She also says: ". My vet is going to moniter her weeky until she thinks she is near so she can give birth in the office which is also twenty four hour emergency hospital and if a C-section needs to be performed she is doing it free of charge. When her temp drops my vet is going to admit her so she can have around the clock care because she feels that she has been through enough pain already. She also offered to give all the pups their shots and spay/nueter them when ready."
5/17 She writes: "Well she had two puppies this morning. They were huge and the vet said they were pitbulls. " and "The puppies are with me as I am bottle feeding them because Heaven is recovering and they are way too big for her to nurse."
Now why would any vet think he sees 7 puppies when there are only 2? Why would the same vet say he was going to monitor her weekly until she was close to having puppies when she was already so close she had them half a day later? Why would same vet say on the day of birth what sort of puppies he thought they were mixed with when so many breeds start out looking almost identical? Then why would two puppies, which "did not appear big on ultrasound" but are now huge at birth be too much for an 11 pound Yorkie to nurse, especially during those crucial first 2 days when they need to get the antibodies? I cannot imagine any vet sending the puppies home for the owner to bottle feed because they were too large -- not on the day they were born. Sure they conceivably could get too large to continue nursing, but not on the day of birth. Something is wrong here -- either this vet is a total whack or we are not getting the right info. |
