Hi Everyone,
Just want to share this experience with everyone.
I hope it's helpful to those out there that want to breed.

About 5:00 PM Sept. 29th Lily Belle started acting uncomfortable
After only 20 minutes of hard labor, a puppy presented her head only about 6:00PM.
After 30 mins she went back into the birth canal,6:30. Lily's labor stopped.
I stayed calm for about 2hrs, okay that was enough.
I called my Vet, we meet at the office at 10:00PM. Still no more contractions.
He looked at Lily, said she is in distress, Her color was bad and she was slightly dehydrated. He put an IV in her, then told me she needed a C-Section, one of the pups seemed stuck and Lily stopped labor. Lily and the pups will not survive if we let her try normally.
At 11:30PM the C-Section started. Two pups were in distress. The 1st one was difficult for the Vet, Her head was stuck in the canal, but he got her.
Her tongue was blue grey with a slight pink, after 1 hr she was revived.
The 2nd pup need stimulation after 1/2 hr he was okay. The 3rd (Moose) was fine.

I have always was been prepared for this, and this was the 1st C-Section for my Yorkies.
Just to let everyone out there know. It doesn't hurt to read, read, read about ALL the PROBLEMS that may happen during Whelping.
All is fine and doing well.
Girl 4.9oz, 1st Boy 5.9oz, 2nd Boy 5.5oz
Enjoy the pics

They are beautiful. Sorry your baby had to go through all of that. But it is most definitely worth it. congrats.

Glad all went well. Congratulations!!!!

One more pic to share Lily Belle and her Puppies
( still learning about pic size )

OMGosh, they are darling...I can't get over how tiny they are at birth. I just love 'em.

Aww They are adorable and im so happy mommy and babies are all doing good. Was wondering why it took so long for the vet to start the c-section? from 6:00-11:30 is a long time.

Glad to hear that all is doing well. I don't know how these dogs do it...the ones that have to have a c-section and then nurse where they're the sorest! Such troopers. Thank you for posting this. It's something that all people must consider if they want to start breeding!

congratulations on the litter. they are beautiful! sorry your Lily Belle had to go through that, but she looks like a good mommy!

As I wrote she stopped contraction about 6:30, and that's not common.
We didn't get nervous until about 8:00, that's when I called the Vet.
Maybe I should have called earlier, but then again she wasn't having regular hard Labor either. Infact she never yelp or nothing.
I didn't get to the office until 10 and 1 1/2 hrs later, after examing and evaluting he started. Now it took about 30 mins to prepare her. I thought everything went smoothly and as quick as he possibly can.

Congrats!
