My Jade had just the one puppy and unfortunately their is one it can get too big with no litter mates to take up room, blood supply and nutrients so unfortunately she was too big for our mommy to deliver and we thought we had two more weeks before she was due.So regardless IF the male was smaller which he was it didn't matter in the case of a singleton it's like a fish growing to their environment they just plain and simple get too BIG! wahahaha! and I tried to call the vet 5 times w/ no answer (he said he didn't get the messages till early morning -bad cell phone reception he said). So we did what we could and saved mama's life and unfortunately with a breech puppy their is only a 50% chance of it coming out alive and then a puppy who is too big that didn't help her chances and then her nails broke the sac open and then their was nothing I could do to get her out fast enough because she was stuck her head wouldn't fit through the pelvis I am still amazed I got her head out IDK how I did.
It is only thanks to Tammy Crawford who walked me through every step and kept me calm so I could do what I needed to to save my Jade's life! I owe her more than she will ever realize! I will be forever in debited to you Tammy for all her help I do not know the words to express my gratitude! W/o you being there I don't know what I would have done! It's easy for people to think they would know what to do when a puppy is stuck but to have the odds even less in my favor with Lilly (my daughter named her Lilly to help with the loss)being breech basically the only way to save a puppy is by c-section and my vet was unavailable and on top of that her feet were already out so the deck was not stacked in our favor AT ALL!!!! and Jade quit contracting and of course the sack broke i couldn't have asked for worse odds and all this at 2 am :'( I am just glad I have my baby and she can still curl up in my lap each morning and in my arms each night when I go to bed! Thanks YOU AGAIN Tammy you were amazing! I am sad for the loss of my puppy especially since we had planned to keep her but I have my Jade and that's what is most important! I would have hated to loose both of them! Tammy If I can ever do anything to repay the favor don't hesitate to ask! Love Your FRIEND Always ~T xoxoxo

Thank you! I tried 4-5 times to call the vet no answer I couldn't get the puppy out fast enough before the sac broke. I just couldn't get the head out! :'( I tried everything I am just devastated and heartbroken it was my puppy to keep! wahahah! Emily is pretty upset I had to wake her to have her help me. my daughter is up with me my 9 year old and I am trying to be strong for her right now. I told her she could name her and trying to clean up the mess in the living room the blood and poop the puppy was having bowl movements bad and it got smashed into the carpet by the other dogs. So I am going to sign off for now friends. I took some pictures of her to share in the morning. We will bury her and have a mini service for my daughter's sake. Thanks again everyone else who tried to help.
Seriously! This is all just unbelievable! The poor child will be scarred for life after witnessing the horror of what happened. Who would subject their child to witness this? It's beyond the realm of my thought process to wake your child to help deliver a dead puppy.
