So sad...I'll never understand people. Working in a vet clinic, I've seen similar things happen. We had one a couple of weeks ago. The owners brought in their little Yorkie mix, who was also 6 years old and had never had puppies before. The vet saw 4 pups on x ray and told them she would most likely be going into labor in the next 24 hours. They ended up bringing her back the next morning after 3 of the poor puppies died. The vet did an ultrasound and saw last pup was in distress, very low heartbeat, and did an emergency c-section. When they left the clinic, Momma and pup were doing okay, but now, who knows. And they had been feeding this girl cat food throughout her pregnancy. SMH.

There was another case a couple of years ago, also a Yorkie, the poor girl had been in labor for several days before they brought her in! Of course the puppies were dead and rotting inside her. The poor girl was so full of infection, she didn't make it.
