So sorry to hear the puppies all died.
If you can get a copy of the current issue of The Yorkshire terrier Magazine, you will see a very informative article about puppies, whelping, preparing the mom to breed and so on. ALL puppies are considered premature according to the author because of their characteristics at birth. I have forgotten the details about this c-section and so on, but the owner should have been the one to calculate the date the puppies were due. I am not saying she is to blame and thatmight have sounded that way. I am saying that we need to educate ourselves and even if an OOPS! litter occurs and the date that happened is known, we still can guesstimate the due date. I hope the little Maltese puppy will help heal her heart and when the time is right, she will have her baby spayed/neutered and will have a lifetime companion. Losing our kids is so painful.. |
