Hi, I am new here I am desperate looking for an answer I wii tell the story.
I have a 2 and half year old yorkie. She was mated on the 18 of April for the first time and on the 21st April second time.
She was having a normal pregnancy but suddenly yesterday 52 days pregnant counting from first mating she started having contractions about 9.30 pm her water brakes she had a dead puppy at 1 am. After that she kept licking the puppie trying make him/her ( I don't know) to survive but she couldn't so she stayed in her bed all night looking after her dead puppy. And no more puppies came out.
In the morning I took her to the vet who examined her and told me that she was fine her temperature was fine she was eating and drinking ok and she scanned her to see if she had anymore puppies and yes she said she could see a puppy with heartbeat so she told me that the best option was leave her and she how she goes if she can keep that puppie for some more days so it can maybe survive when it's born.
Now she looks ok she rested all day in her bed eat some boiled chicken and keeps resting
Now my question is have someone ever heard of this ? A premature birth of one dead puppie and the rest goes full term ?
Please help me I am worrying so much about my girl I want her to have a Heath puppy but at the same time I don't want nothing to happen to her and if it is her or puppies I want her safe.
Do u think it is safe to wait ?
