Diva had her babies on Saturday. She went into labor around 11 that morning and had her first boy at 12:10 (3 ozs). 2 hours later at 2:05 she had a very tiny little female that weighed barely 2 ozs. 4 hours later she had a sack showing but no puppy and no pushing , so we headed to the vet. He gave her an oxytocin shot to try to help after he examined her and said that the puppy was coming backwards. After 15 minutes and no puppy he took her back for a c-section. We ended up getting 2 more little girls. #3 was 4 oz and was backwards and was just too big to come out on her own. #4 was 3 oz. Thankfully Diva did great and came around quickly from the anesthesia.

Sadly this morning the tiny baby passed. We fought hard tube feeding her but she was just too tiny.

The little boy has deformed back feet. My vet said to give him a few weeks to see how they do and that we may have to go to LSU vet school to see if they can do anything. Have any of you had a puppy with feet like this and what did ya'll do?
