Shis eating okay. She likes me to feed her. I will just work on putting her on the box often.
My story.
The vet's office was horrible! (Overview: they did not tell us they only accept cash, check up to $800, or credit cards (we do not have/use).)
First, they wanted to give her oxytocin to see if she would deliver her babies. She delivered the first one in the first two hours!! They gave her a second and third dose and the second puppy came next but it did not make it. That was around 4am. They sill gave her 1 more shots of oxytocin. The vet decided at around 6-7am he would need to do a c-section. (They would not begin to do her c-section until I had paid them all the money upfront.) I never left the office but daddy did to get the money $2018- Monday 9am in the morning and they told us as long as one of us stayed there they would begin her c-section and the reason they had still not begun was they were prepping the room. Both the puppies left inside her were alive as they did an ultrasound to ckeck. It took daddy about 2-2 1/2 hours to get back with the cash and I found out while she was gone they would not begin operating until they had all the money. Who walks around with $2,000- cash on hand. At first they said 50% but I gave them a check at their max that they accept checks $800- but that was not good enough! Ugh! They let my poor Trini suffer and the puppies suffer until the money got there and they counted it and the receptionist called the doctor in the back to tell him it was okay to begin the surgery. Is this normal?? Seems to me the vet would have taken the best interest of my Trini and her babies before they thought about the money, which was delivered to them in cash...My poor Trini went through so much.
That is only half the story. We are thinking to call the Humane Society and see what we can do about the way this popular "veterinary hospital" treated us.
They also had to spay Trini. Well, they didn't have to but they said one of her uterine horns was bruised and they said it might heal, like 50%-50% or they could remove it and should would only have one horn or they could "alter" her. After the vet explained the circumstances of my options to me (over the phone, while Trini was on the surgery table) he wanted an answer right away and I decided to try and save it and not spay her. They sent out another doctor who yelled at me, called me irresponsible and other things that were so rude. She told me trini had a mass, could be cancerous or a cyst and I told her what the vet who was in the surgery room had said to me. She yelled to me all the puppies are dead and I was not making a smart descision to breed her. (they were not) And she yeled like 3 times "all the puppies are dead, whats wrong with you." She was ridiculous and then she told me to make my descision but that she needed to be fixed for her health. I told them to fix her come to find out it was just bruising and she did not need to be fixed! Also, that would have all been avoided if they were prompt and did the c-section. One of the puppies from the c-section has fluid in his lungs still and I do not know how to help him besides swing him and that is not working. They did not tell me this. They said he was "stable". I am scared he will not make it.
As I feel sad for what we have lost I am happy for my Trini and the two pups I have here and I will do my best to make them happy and healthy again!
All advice anyone has for me is sooo gretly appreciated and I do not know what I would have done/would do without it.
Thank you so much!
