OUR DOG PORSCHE !! Well i had a interesting week tuesday nite just gone, my lovely dog Porsche went into labour. Being she was a second hand dog and was given to us with a million lies from the person giving her away, just to get rid of her. We were looking for a companion dog for our Bundy who is a brindle purebred staffordshire bullterrior. We heard of a 2 year old female that was a give away , we never had any intentions of breeding her ( i didnt think HE would succeed lol). Anyway, we have had her since january 2007 and they had told us she was fully vaccinated and has had a litter of puppies, I didnt think anything of it until i rang her previous vet clinic and asked for her file to be sent to my vet clinic and the lady said "Oh she has never been vaccinated !" I almost died .
Then when she came into season and porsche and bundy did their thing. we noticed her scoffing her food and getting fatter, we took her to the vet and he said yes she is pregnant and she has 5 puppies inside of her.
That was all good on tuesday nite she started acting funny and i went to get a bottle of milk out of the freezer in the garage and looked down and saw she was bleeding, i yelled to my sister and as she walked in i saw a little black puppy in her bed with her, I thought to my self "ABOUT DAMN TIME " i had been a nervous expectant grand mother to be and was ready for it to be over with , i thought 4 more to go!.
It took her a hour and a half to push the next pup out it was BIG, we let her do her thing and we picked it up and rubbed it with a towel and unfortunately it was dead.
with in 3 minutes of her having that one she pushed another out, and so on for the next 4 she was sooo tired after that 6 but she was still contracting like she had another in her, we felt her body and we were sure she had one stuck but the vet said only 5. we thought we would leave her with her 5 live puppies 2 boys and 3 girls and let her get some rest she mite pop the other one out soon if we leave her alone.
i awoke extreemely early the next morning and went to check on my darling, but was still contracting and pushing at count there were still only 5.
I wasnt sure if it was natural for her to still be doing this as i have never owned a female dog before. so i rang my sister at hehehehehe 5am and said what do i do?
she said not much till the vet opens.
so we took her and her puppies to the vet and suzanna said yes she has one still inside her. she said leave her here and we will give her a calcium shot and a oxytocion shot to contract her cervix, see if that helps her push it out .
10am came and suzanna rang and said sorry we have to do a ceasar, to get the pup out. i said ok do it!
she rang me again at 12 noon and said i suggest desexing her at the same time as when i was taking the puppy out i noticed she had previously had a ceasar and her insides are a mess. " i said do what ever you need to do !"
in the end the puppy was dead another boy , if they all had of lived we would have had 4boys and 3 girls. but thats just natures way i guess. so babies are well and getting fat, 6days old and never get off the tit lol. mother is doing well with her belly full of stitches that looks like a very badly made quilt lol. will post pictures asap.
On friday i managed to get my first row of my sisters browns turning twenty quilt, i soon realised all along that i wasnt actually doing a turning twenty lol it is actually a pattern called yellow brick road ! my mistake ! so i hope to have that together by the end of the week lol. thats all for now.
