This was the first time in 7 years I've experienced this... I've had small (same size pups 1.8 and 2 ounces) in the past but they were fully developed. |
The two you lost could have had stunted development for other reasons also. All I'm saying is that from what I've read and from what my vet told me, the eggs (embryos??) all implant at the same time - regardless of when they were fertilized. But then I'm no specialist either.
