Saffie has had 6 puppies, 3 dogs, 3 bitches. They were born 31st Aug/1st Sept. She had her first puppy at about 10.15pm and then a few hours later she had the next 3. She then went another couple of hours before having the fifth.
The last one got stuck, and so after a long and stressful night with no sleep, we took her to the vet at about 5.30am. We were really worried that she would need a c-section as we had already examined Saffie and could feel the puppies feet and tail, but could not get a grip. Saffie had stopped pushing and the puppies sac had broken over an hour ago. We were sure the puppy had died. The vet gave Saffie a jab and within 15mins the puppy was out, and unbelievably it was alive.
All 6 puppies are now feeding well and seem very healthy happy pups. Saffie is being a very attentive and gentle mum as she was with her first litter.
