I know what you were feeling in there. I've felt that hard lump in there after they are finished whelping but it is not a puppy. And the fact that he was closing at 9 and so he was going to send you off? To me that just stinks. IMO, since Roxy was his patient he should have been committed to seeing her through even if it went past 9. I may be overly sensitive to this bc my last vet did something similar to my girl who needed a section. It was 4:00 and even though he assured me in our previous visits that he was qualified to do a section should she need it, on the day she needed it he informed me he was not doing a c section TODAY. Well I'm so happy that everything went well for Roxy. Good luck with the babies!!!
| In hinds site I actually have to agree with you. At the time, I was convinced there was another puppy in there and because the vet has been trained he should have done an xray sooner. I'm not a big fan of the "closing at 9pm so you have to go to the ER clinic two blocks away", but honestly this is the best vet clinic in our area. Granted the vet that was helping me wasn't my normal vet (he's on vacation) but there are four vets in that office and two apparently agreed that I felt a puppy.
Honestly I'm just glad that Roxy and the puppies are ok. I would have done anything I needed to do to make sure she was ok, but i'm so relieved to know my baby doesn't have to go thru surgery. And this is the last litter I will ever whelp. I don't have the nerves for breeding and honestly the scare of losing my baby became so real to me tonight that I NEVER want to risk it again. She will be getting fixed after she's nursing this litter.
Thank you again for everyone's support and good wishes! I greatly appreciate it. |
