I was not able to do x-rays because the day she was schedule to have it done (day 59), she had her puppies. And the reason I did not hear the 5th heartbeat was because he was so small and I was only able to confirm of him after the 4 came out and I checked to make sure she was done (which is wasn't). I'm a nurse so I am pretty experienced with the use of stethoscope and differentiating the sounds that go on in her body.
We went to the vet today and he told me there was no need for the calcium supplement and from what I've read on here, there have been different opinions on giving the mom calcium supplements.
Even though the vet told me she was fine I feel like I can still feel something inside her stomach. I've been told it might be her uterus but I just wanted to know if it was possible to still have an unborn puppy inside her? She was panting last night while nursing but it would come and go. She is doing fine, acting normal but being picky with her food. |
