This
litter's "Story":
Ja'Dore surprised us a little by having her pups a little before we were
expecting them, and she had some complications because of the size of her
litter. She had one puppy on Thursday night (10/21) at 11pm and then
didn't have anything more at all, we knew there were lots of pups in there
because when listening for heartbeats we heard a herd of elephants going!
Well, at 8am on Friday, we took her to the vet and he did an x-ray to see what
was left, we counted 6 more at that point... We opted to go ahead with a
c-section because the positioning of the pups was not conducive to a normal
delivery. Our very capable and experienced vet delivered the remaining 7
puppies (note, the x-ray only showed 6!) and fortunately we were able to save
them all. Three on one side of the uterus were already starting to separate
and were starting to fade. A little dopram to get them going and a lot of vigorous
rubbing was all they needed! Long story short, here is what she gave me:
2 blue
girls |
2 blue boys |
2 bi-black girls |
1 tricolor girl |
1 bi-black boy |
Unfortunately, we lost 1 of the
bi-black girls and one of the blue girls due to problems beyond our
control... We did everything we could to save them but sometimes that just
isn't enough.
