| OP said there are other dogS in the house though, could have been one of them. That's one crappy vet to "see" puppies on an xray and be mistaken

| If the female wasn't confined for whelping, which should have been done, there is a possibility of she or another dog could have ate them.....More likely another dog.... The other possibility is her body could have absorbed them.....In this case she needs to be treated with antibiotics.

| Oh gosh; I hope you found them. This post is very disturbing and reminds me, yet again, of why I would never want to breed Lucy. Hoping you find the Pup or that it was a false pregnancy.

| Ok...we have raised beagles for years and I know for a fact this happens I am sure that yorkies are probaby the same....it's gross and graffic so please excuse....don't read if you have a weak stomach please!!!!! When the momma dog is whelping sometimes for some reason or the other she may have trouble cutting the cord. Sometimes while she is doing the chewing and pulling she may pull to hard and rip the cord out of the pups belly, in turn ripping open the stomach. The momma dog may not realize that she is now consuming the intestins! Some momma dogs will push the pup away once she realizes something is wrong but others may just go ahead and consume the pup. This is the reason why all the pups that we have whelped (after I witnessed this) "I" cut the cord for her! Just safer. You have to be present the WHOLE time during the whelping. They can have a pup quicker than anything and have it cleaned up before you know it. Be looking at the momma, turn your back, turn back and there is a pup all cleaned up! Hope you find answers soon! |

| I have seen it happen with several pups! I don't know if she was just a bad momma or just stupid? I don't know, but the dog that this happened with ended up having 8 total pups, two she had and pulled the stomach out before I could grab them (and ate! she shoved them into the corner of the whelping box and covered them with her paws while she did it and snap at anyone trying to get the pup away) One pup got his cord pulled out a tad to much and had a huge bulge there for awhile. Another pup the momma kept messing with, licking it, pushing it away, dragging it back on and on and on. She totally laid on one. I am certain that if I wouldn't have been there, she would have killed them all and done something with them! She ended up raising 4 out of the litter and it was pure murder trying to keep her taking care of all the pups. Just like people, some females just should NEVER have babies!!! |

| [QUOTE=Mardelin;3508277] The other possibility is her body could have absorbed themQUOTE] She could absorb puppies that far along?? Wow. Or maybe that just seems very far into a pregnancy for me? I didn't know a dog could absorb her litter after the first week or so. This is why I would NEVER breed, and Ihave so much respect for those who do it right and do it well. What a nightmare it can turn into. Sure hope OP finds some pups alive and well.

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | I am really concerned for this OP... I cant imagine what she is going through right now!! This is why anyone who is considering breeding should prepare themselves for anything and everything. But something like this ... Who could have imagined this happening? It's so hard to consider the fact that the poor puppies could have been eaten.
