It's puppy time!! Help! - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

It went ok, he said she seems to be fine despite the long night of contractions and he didn't have many guesses as to why the puppy wouldn't take a breath at birth. He said the placenta could have abrupted from the uterine horn before the pup was born, but I don't know about that, since I could feel him kicking just minutes before his birth.

And there wasn't any green/black discharge until after he was born. I guess I'll never know. Is there any truth to the statement that first time litters have a lower survival rate than subsequent litters? That is what my vet told me but I don't see how or why that would be..

I just read this and I'm so sorry. I lost a puppy on August 2nd. She lived for three days and then she died. I was heartbroken and I still wonder if there was something more I could have done. I hope Roxie is doing better today. I read your other thread and you think she has a fever. Good luck. I hope everything works out ok for you.
