It had no heartbeat and they still tried to resuscitate it but to no avail. I heard its heartbeat yesterday so I assume the hard labor at home was just too much stress for it to handle. All of that pushing and the pup was still very high up, almost in her ribcage. Kiwi was spayed during the surgery. I never want her to go through this again! Longest night of my life! I feel so terrible. But I am very thankful she came out of the c-section okay. I would not know what to do with myself if she died during surgery.
Wishing for happy and healthy deliveries for all of the upcoming mommas

So sorry for your loss of the puppy and sending prayers and good thoughts to your girl Kiwi for a speedy recovery and good health.
