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! |
Well I am so glad that you are all home. It is discouraging though, to me, that the vet didn't know there was not another puppy in there. He should have done the X-ray sooner. I know what you were feeling in there. I've felt that hard lump in there after they are finished whelping but it is not a puppy. And the fact that he was closing at 9 and so he was going to send you off? To me that just stinks. IMO, since Roxy was his patient he should have been committed to seeing her through even if it went past 9. I may be overly sensitive to this bc my last vet did something similar to my girl who needed a section. It was 4:00 and even though he assured me in our previous visits that he was qualified to do a section should she need it, on the day she needed it he informed me he was not doing a c section TODAY. Well I'm so happy that everything went well for Roxy. Good luck with the babies!!!
