I'm working on the pictures.
Those lil boogers will NOT hold still! Actually there are FIVE.
4 girls and 1 boy.
I thought placenta and afterbirth were the same thing, too? My vet said it was different. I asked him about it and he assured me they were different. He gave me some Clavamox (antibiotic) that is supposed to "break it down" and he said her body will release some of it naturally (could take 3-4 weeks) and the rest would just kind of dissolve inside. She doesn't have a fever (I will check this daily to make sure one does not develop just in case). Anyone else have any thoughts on any of this?
On a positive note, I finally got to take a one hour nap this afternoon. Niiiiiiice!
