Dear Friends, Last night was one of those nights that breeders all fear but eventually we all have. A night that you hope does not happen to you. So I share a bit of insight and information that I hope you all can benefit from.
London went into labor at about 8:00 PM and was having contractions somewhat regularly. At 8:45 I saw her water bag. Wasn't sure it was broken but should have assumed so since I saw it. After that Labor slowed down and was intermittent. She seemed clam and unconcerned she would have contractions and then go to sleep for awhile. This continued all night. At 4:00 AM I was concerned. Thought my Vet would be in at 6 AM so waited to go to see him as she was not in any distress and no unusual discharge. Got to the Vet and found out he would not be in until 8 AM. Called another Repro Vet for an emergency C-Section and he met us immediately. Did a C-section and saved one of the 2 boys. Heartbreaking to say the least. Mom (a singleton herself) is now the mom of a Little singleton. They are both doing fine.
My Vets advise to all if you did not know is, If you see the bag of water and you do not have a puppy in 2 hours go to the Vet immediately. Also, small litters of one or two is a red flag for this possibility. Be prepared with a small litter to have a C-section.
But one Happy Note, "La Coquette The One and Only", aka "Sinatra" has arrived! Versace and London are very proud.
