Gizmo's Mom, This was Lady's first litter. She didn't make the typical noises I was expecting when she started labor. THIS PART IS VERY GRAPHIC!!!!! She had the little boy first and I guess she didn't know when to stop eating the placenta and afterbirth, she ate his little legs and tail. I am assuming he breathed because I could see the stumps were a good red color.
Autumn was jumping all over my husband and woke us up, I went to the bathroom and saw the pup in the bed I got for all of them to use. When I checked him I thot he was deformed and that was why he didn't make it. Lady ran under the bed and started making noises and my husband had to pull the bed away from the wall to get to her and the puppy. I think she had Matty and left her. When we got up and started looking around she went to protect this little whatever it was that came from her body. Matty was ice cold and was having trouble breathing so I started swinging her trying to get the liquid out of her lungs and rubbing her to make her yelp. All I got were pitiful little sounds so we dressed in a hurry and grabbed mom and ran to the vet. I don't know what they did in the back room but they brought her back warm and breathing better. She will be 3 weeks tomorrow, so far so good. I'll post more pics after I weigh her tomorrow. Sylvia |
