My girl had to have a C-section this morning. The two pups tried to present at the same time. The vet managed to get them aligned and jump started labor again (it had stalled) but ended up doing a c-section. One pup only lived a short time after birth. The surviving pup is doing well. She's big at 5.3 oz.
They've only been home about 2 hours. Mom is somewhat bonding with her baby but, unfortunately, she doesnt have ANY milk and we're supplementing. The emergency vet didnt think her milk would come in at all, but the pup is still trying to nurse and mom is letting her. Mom is drinking water but doesnt want to try anything else yet. |
