WELL... it seems that we were all fooled (even the vet) because the xrays showed a possible 8th puppy. What we felt was not a puppy at all.. I am so thankful because I did not want Roxy to have to go thru surgery. The vet believes it's stool that will pass and that the oxytocin will actually help her not have an infection just in case some afterbirth was left (but I believe I got them all out)
So now Roxy is home and happy with her 7 little babies! I couldn't happier! |
Congratulations.......
C-section is something we as breeders don't want, however, when a female and a pup's is on the balance and surgery is the only alternative to save their lives.....there is no other option.
Queston, wondering why the vet didn't do an x-ray initially, that would have given the vet indication how to proceed. POP (oxytocin) shot will assist her in expelling any dead tissue and help her with the let down of milk....
Good luck.
