It would have been worse had my girl not made it.
I learned my lesson and my dogs are getting fixed. Anything can go wrong, and to me, its not worth it. |
People often think there is nothing to this...dogs breed, female gets pregnant, puppies are born, little family all does great, babies are sold to new homes, and a great time was had by all! Unfortunately, it does NOT always work out that way.....and Yorkies, as are most toy breeds, are notorious about having whelping issues. You said it perfectly....heart felt words, from first hand experience, a really tough lesson to live through. Thank goodness you didnt loose your girl, which quite often, DOES happen! I would hope the OP can manage to convience her friend to TRY to learn from the YT people, that probably know more about this than she does! It is a kind thing the OP does, but if her friend wont even go to a forum where she can read posts....doesnt even have to write anything, JUST READ!!!.....I dont think she will learn anything from the OP. I am sorry you lost your puppy....but I am so thankful momma survived....it could have been so much worse for you.
