Bjh - thank you for your prayers and kind words. And I know I was warned she would probably need a Csection, but unfortunately due to how far along she was an emergency spay was not an option, so I followed the specialist's advice and followed through with it, expecting a Csection. As far as me saying I hadnt spayed her because i was hoping to breed her eventually, I stated in one of my last replies that the keywords are "hoping" and "eventually" (if/when she gained more weight). However now that this has happened, I do not plan on breeding her in the future, and will have her spayed very soon. The first night we had to feed the pups ourselves until momma started the oxytocin spray and realized they were her babies, but now she's nursing great. Thank you for all the great info.

OwnedByJezebel - I wasn't upset that people didn't give me enough advice - I was upset because (1) many of them were rudely written, and repetitive of what was already said and understood, (2) many just ignored the situation I was in, and simply stated their opinions rudely, and that was it, rather than following their comments with help and support for the present situation, instead of just yelling about the past, and MOST OF ALL (3) after they all told me to get advice from a professional and I had posted what I was told, some people got even more stubborn and opinionated and rude, even though I had followed their suggestion and gotten advice from 2 different professionals (a vet, and a specialist). So you can't blame me for being blown away at how many of you act. For the most part you seem fine, but it was still rude to call me a failure and say it was no accident. Because not only did I make sure they were kept apart nearly the whole day, but I also made sure she always had a diaper on, which I now understand isn't the best way to avoid pregnancy, but it certainly helped during every single other heat, until this one when the boy slipped out of the room at 4am when I got up for work, and paired up with her in the middle of the night after her diaper somehow had fallen off. So I'm tired of those who say it was no accident, or that I didn't take precautions, because I did. Accidents do happen people - get over it, move on, and perhaps stop feeding the drama by focusing on the past, and instead, start helping with the present and future.
