All, yesterday my 5.5 lb girl starting having contractions, water sac
presented but no progress, took her to my vet who performed a c
section. We came home with 3 out of 4 babies, but Mom didnt survive;
she went into shock or something during the night, I found her dead around
12:45, she was alive at 10:30 but still hadnt eaten 14 hours after the surgery. I am so, so sad about losing her however there is good new.

All three pups are doing good (knock on wood) and eating Nutural C with
colostrum every three hours, peeing and pooping when stimulated and
seem very strong to have never had one drop of Mom's milk. If I can get
them past the first five days I will then be able to take a good long nap!
