Don't beat yourself up about not doing any xray. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
It is a learning experince. Always have an after whelping vet check and oxy shot. If there are any retained placenta or pups, this will greatly help Many vets are wonderful at palpiating a "left" over pup. Take her temp for are least 5 days after. Blot the discharge each AM/PM..notice any color changes and smell..infection has a distinct smell..and don't blame yourself when these things happen. |
