Saffron's last pup would not come so after 4 plus hours we took her to Vet Emerg. They ae doing a c-section on her. Pups has a heartbeat but the pup was in a U shape so couldn't come. Our local vet was at a talk so she was unavailable so they suggested vet emerg.
The cost of 3 puppies to do a c-section. they also did blood tests, calcium test etc. Everything was fine. They also had hidden in the bill a c-section. We caught it. If she had one it would have interfered with her milk production. Cute.
We can't afford this but we are figuring it out.
I had to take the pups home and at first Cinnamon and Ella were feeding them but Cinnamon's nipples are too large so Ella ended up feeding them all. I will have to do that till this evening when hopefully Saffron will feed them. Poor thing...
I will never go to Vet Emerg again. It is clinical. They wouldn't let us see them or the pups and then told us to get the pups out of there and they will call us. Bring money...
I have not slept. Nathan is sleeping now. So we await what gender and colour the pup is, how Saffron is doing and if the pup makes it. Stay tuned... sigh
I am beyond tired and upset.
Photos etc coming.
Both Moms trying to feed Saffron's pups/ Cinnamon's milk stations are too large.
Saffron's pups being fed by Ella - all 4.
The four after feeding. We will have them feed on Ella in 2 hours. Ella's milk production will increase and hopefully by tonight Saffron can feed her 5. Time will tell. She will certainly be under the influence from anesthesia and very sore.
Here is the gallery of the 4. We will add the 5th if all goes well tonight.
