Puppy Watch has started!!! We have been at the vets all morning, they did an xray and she said their are 5 puppies, from what she can tell She'za should be able to whelp BUT her cervex is wide open and she should be pushing on her own by now and she's not. So they are keeping here there and giveing her Calcium and IV ocitocin ( sp) to help her along, and if that doesnt work then they are going to do a c section. They are suppossed to call me if she starts pushing, or if they have to go in to get them either way so that I can be there with her. Im such a nervous wreak right now and Im so worried about my baby!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Sidenote: I couldnt find anything on Pugorkies, but I did find a bunch of links for Pugshire puppies. I know either way they are just a mixed breed "mutts" but I think they are ganna be adorable!!!

Good luck with the impending whelping. Please continue to keep us posted.

good luck

Glad she is at the vets. Good luck.

I've heard the name Pugshire too. The female I heard of was a pug, who bred to a yorkie. She had 7 puppies and all but the runt looked like pugs. I understand her labor was long, but she eventually had all of them on her own.

Wishing you the best!!! Keep us posted!!!

It is with the heavest of hearts that I make this post, She'za gave birth via C-Section at 6:15 this evening to 6 beautiful babies. 4 girls and 2 boys all were jet black. Unfortunately Edward,Jacob,Bella,Esme,Hope and Izzy did not make it. They were premature, oviously I had my date wrong and she did not get bred with the first time. She was fully dialated, but even with the help of the drugs she would not contract enough to have them on her own. The vet said she just didnt think her little body could handle the pregnancy and that is what caused the early labor. She'za is doing ok, they were ganna let me bring her home tonight, but the vet called a few minutes ago and said that she was very aggitated and in pain so they gave her some pain meds and a mild sedative and the vet is takeing her home with her tonight so she can give her more medication if she needs it through the night. My family is heartbroken! I was able to be there with her during the csection and to spend some time with the puppies before they passed over the rainbow bridge. I did ask the vet to spay her while she was there, I never want my baby to have to go thru that again and honestly I never want to have to do it again either. I truely feel like I have lost a baby myself, I know how it must feel to She'za. Thank you all for your advice and well wishes, please keep us all in your prayers exspecialy my little She'za as we cope with this very heartbreaking loss.

I'm really sorry to hear this. You did everything right. What a wonderful vet you have to make sure your girl has the best care.

I am so sorry for the loss of the babies. You and the vet did what was necessary. I pray the momma makes a speedy recovery. Hugs.

That is so heartbreaking. I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope your little girl will have a speedy recovery. Yorkie hugs to both of you.

~You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. It is very sad the puppies didn't make it, but thankful the mommy did.
God Bless!

I am so so sorry.

Awww...I am very sorry to hear about the loss of the pups. :( You did exactly what you should have done by getting her to the vet to deliver the puppies. I hope mom has a speedy recovery. Glad you have such a great vet who is willing to take her home and care for her overnight.:thumbup:

Thank you all so much for your thoughts! It has been a very hard few days on all of us! She\'za is home now, she has meds to take for a while but she is great about takeing them!!! She truely is the BEST dog I have ever had!!! I am so grateful that she came thru everything alright I dont know what I would have done if I\'d lost her as well!!! She seems to be doing well, not quite herself yet, seems sad and just wants Mommy! But overall she is well. Thank you all again for all you kind words and advice thru this difficult time!!!

I am so sorry for the loss of your litter....how heart-breaking that must be for everyone. I\'m happy to hear that She\'za is home with you now; the two of you can comfort each other during this difficult period. Hugs to both of you.
