Yesterday was another crazy day...We were all "on call" Monday night just in case one of our clients dogs, a Scottish Terrier, went into labor that night. I guess she had a problem in the past and now can only have puppies through c-sections. I got great sleep that night, basically waking up every hour from 2am on, worried that I had missed the call...even though my phone was right next to my head.
I got the call at 5:45am, only about 20 minutes before I wake up anyway, but it still sucked. She had 7 puppies, 5 boys-2 girls, all of them made it and looked pretty healthy! It's scary and exciting to help with c-sections. Getting them going is the nerve racking part, hearing the squeaks is the best part! She is coming in Friday for dewclaw removal, I'll ask if I can take a picture of them so everyone can see. They are so cute!!
The other crazy thing about this breeder, she had another female go into labor 20 minutes after we started on the 1st one. The other female went to CSU and they did a c-section there...she had 7 puppies too, but 5 girls-2 boys!
