My girl had four but took so long she didn't have strength to get the fifth one out so I rushed her to the Vet. where he did a C section on her. She almost died, and she ended up with staff infection. I had to bathe her and the pups every day for I think about a week. I've never bred another dog after that experience. Had I'd been on YT, I'm sure I would be asking for help only to have been told, in no uncertain terms, what a bad person I am for not doing my home work first, instead of "letting" me know what to do, "then" talk to me about the cons of breeding if not experienced.
I'm just putting myself in lovemymisty's place and know how horrible she must feel.
I've learned more from reading Mardelin's posts about whelping & all the things needed to have on hand and how to do it all, than I ever got from any book or other people. THAT's what I would have loved to hear when I had my little Boston! |
I'm sure you had (I hope) the common sense to rip open the sack if the mom didn't...& you had the instincts to take your girl right away to the vet. After your ordeal, you decided breeding is not for you.
The OP specifically made this thread to see if she can breed her girl again. She has the intentions...her being defensive says it all!
