I am very sorry to hear about the lost pup and mom's ordeal. Did you have an x-ray done before she got close to her due date?
Just to point out to those who may be reading and unaware, you often see breeders stressing the importance of having a an x-ray done around day 50--it is to *hopefully* avoid situations like this. X-rays give the breeder and vet an idea of how large puppies are and can give you advance notice on if a c-section would be a better option than letting the dog try to deliver them naturally. It's not always a guarantee, but it does decrease the chances.
