I am sooo thankful my moma, my first champion, made it fine. She so missed her babies though and looked for them for days after they were gone. I cried for her pain. It was so sad. I hate it! Reason I do not breed often either.
Donna - I agree with you - just form my own experience. Hey, and I tried it, since I was an expert with yorkies before my kids came. I thought I could handle it! Wrong! I could not do it either in the end. So I took a break and now that my kids are all grown, I returned to my yorkies. For the betterment of the breed/dogs, I placed my dogs first always and myself last. |
Tina,
I lost 2 one of my last litters......born prematurely too.....I was able to save a boy and girl......But, since it was the first time it happened to me.....I was tore up inside.......Their mother is due to be spade, as this was her 2nd premature litter.....I'm not gonna chance it again.
