  Debbie..your post about swallowing a puppy whole, reminded me of something.I went to help a friend whelp a litter. We were in her living room sitting on the floor while the mother whelped, one of her kids let another adult female in the room. My friend said the female was no threat. The next pup was extremely tiny, when it was born, it came out with the long cord and placenta attached in one piece..suddenly the "no threat" female picked it up and swallowed it..honestly, this sounds so unbelievable, but I opened her mouth an only saw a blob of afterbirth..so I pulled it out, along came the cord and the pup attached to the end of it..she didn't chew it, only swallowed it whole..I think she thought it was food..
