Good luck.
The vet went off the initial xray that was done a week ago. He say 7 maybe 8 puppies. So when you felt Roxy's belly it seriously felt like a puppy. I think we all fell into the category of just assuming it was a puppy and because it had been two hours after the last puppy they just started the oxytocin immediately.
