Have you discussed the situation with your vet? Scarey and I'm so sorry you lost the pups. |
Yes, the first one came out with a gentle pull, the second one the biggest, got stuck and time I could get her to the vet I could have lost her, so I pulled him out myself with help on the phone, which I hope doesn't happen again, but I know how and doesn't scare me as much now, but the last one was fine. Thats why I did the xrays to see the difference in sizes from the 2 litters, 1 day off, but my vet said these look much smaller, she had them all last time with no complications after everything that happen, vet told me I probably did it better than him, but it scared the crap out me. Also that was her first litter, so after those big pups he said she should pop them out this time, she has 5 maybe 6.
