Sending lots of prayers for karina and her pup, I have to take Red for a health certificate and have a family coming to pick up Green, but they live here in town, I will check on Karina's update as soon as I come home..
sending gentle hugs for both of you..
hugs,

Thank you for your prayers and compassion.....bless her little heart....I just hate for her to have pain from the surgery....but I am just happy we are not sitting here at 2am on a Saturday night, with a puppy stuck and that leaves us with emergent surgery.....this is elective and we are prepared....I will update as soon as I know everyone is safe and well....

Saying a prayer for Karina and baby. I'm sure all will go well :thumbup:

Is this pup larger than her normal pups because it is only one and, therefore, had more room to grow? That would make sense...just wondering.

:thumbup::thumbup:
That is right...singletons usually come late and are larger because that one baby got all the nourishment and is stretched out, taking full advantage of its "single occupant" status! It is getting ready to get "evicted"!!!

hehe! Well, I for one, will be glad when it gets evicted cuz I can't wait to see pics!!! :D

Thinking of you and Karina this am.

Just checking in

I just got home, Judy, How is Karina doing?
hugs,

We are back from the vet...got home about an hour ago....Karina is doing wonderfully, and we have a 4.6 oz happy, healthy, active little girl! Karina, being the super momma she is, is still groggy from the section, but she is coddling, loving, and cleaning her little girl with all the tenderness and love she always has for her babies....I just adore this little lady! My vet made very small incisions, both entry and in the uterus and has assured me there will be no problems with future breedings....she should be able to carry and whelp without difficulty.....of course, I wont be breeding her for a year, giving that uterus time to heal completely. And when I have a litter due, my vet and her staff are on standby for me...I would like to be able to get a female from Karina that I can keep as a breeder, to take Karinas place when she retires. I dont want to lose her wonderful lineage. So we are settling in, I am going to get Karina some of the pudding we give our new moms, and some Pedialyte to drink.......and I am going to lay by her whelping crate at the side of my bed, and take a nap!! I am exhausted! Thank you everyone, for keeping Karina and myself in your prayers and thoughts....we have a beautiful little baby girl, going to a wonderful home, to absolutely thrilled parents, in the middle of April!

So happy thanks for the update. Have a great nap

AWWW, so happy for Karina, the baby and you.. congratulations, and GLAD, everything is good with her, Pictures when you can... :)
hugs,

Great news! So happy it all went well and Karina and baby girl are well. :)

Judy, so glad to hear that Karina is fine and has a wonderful new little girl. Post some pictures soon.

I'm so glad that Karina and her baby girl are doing well. I know you will take care of both special little girls, but please take care of yourself too.
