For fun here's a follow up to my previous post here- things ended up well for our first and only litter for the time being, despite needing an emergency c-sec/spay for mom due to freakishly giant puppy (thankfully the last in line!). We opted for the spay for mom's sake, she had a high risk of having a damaged uterus, cervix + a high risk for uterine infection as the pup was in there for some time before we could get the operation under way.

Casper had a total of 6 but the giant one had suffocated before surgery was done and one girl was born still despite our best efforts(being a breach pup).

There are only 4, one of which we will keep, not sure which though!






Xray of the giant stuck pup, nose got stuck right at her pelvis. I knew something was wrong as soon as I did and internal exam and felt it. We are lucky she didn't rupture her uterus and bleed out pushing this pup.
