Well the black one is twice the size of the white one! Difference is
huge. I was worried but she seems to be thriving well. Even nurses
really well. Thanks all.
Yes Im pretty dissapointed in the vet on call. I will speak to my
vet-the owner when i take the pups in for shots.

(still born), then 3 hrs and no pushing or pups. Went to vet, who
took an X-ray and suggested Csection-not really based on size, just
her lack of progression. OR Pitocin and wait. I did the pitocin, we
waited at the vets office. She had some hard labor, but didnt
progress. I was signing the papers for the Csection as she was
looking tired. Then as we are discussing the payment, she breaks
some water and starts delivering! Second pup is born, a girl, small
and white. Then another 45 minutes later delivers a not fully formed
stillborn pup :( Then another 1 hr and the last and biggest pup was
born, twice the size of the other living pup. The black one you see
in the pics, lil miss fatty made her way into the world. Labor
started at 730am, and we went to vets after a few hours, and then we
werent home until 3am. When I helped the pups latch on, showered and
went to bed.
> I have a question for you all. During all this fiasco, which I
didnt of course have 1500.00 for a C/S lying around. I was amazed
they didnt want to set up any payments. I have been going to this
vet a long time. I had the vet (not my usual vet-one on call) tell
me they needed 700-800 down and would only consider payments if I
was declined on some vet credit they offer. But they were not so
much worried about my dog, infact willing to turn her away over
money. the vet even went so far as to tell me I could sign over my
dog to her and then she could do the surgery. I was stunned. I of
course was willing/able to put down 500.00 and pay it off in 2
months. While Im sure they are concerened people wont pay, the
williness to send her out, knowing she could die asstounded me.
Luckily my dog decided to finish the deliver then and there as I was
signing the forms, and making other arraigements to pay.
> Initially, of course I didnt want a C/S due to it being hard on
her, and I didnt like they immediately went to that. I had been into
see my vet that day, who thought that my mother would do fine with
the babies she had. He didnt expect a C/S which is why I took her
in. Any way, it all went well. Well, so to speak. We only have 2
pups, but she is a fantastic mother! See links to pups, mom and dad
below.
> Oh, I forgot to mention, I cant say when the last time I cried so
hard, and dry heaved so badly over being so distraught. Its amazing
what these dogs bring to your family, and how attached and worried
one can get. I know I did.
