Yesterday was one of those days that reminds you that anything can happen at any time.
Maggie had went past her due date, had her temperature drop yesterday morning and after all the waiting it out and sleeping beside her, still no puppies or signs of labor fully starting, so I called the vet and they wanted to check on her. She was on day 66. Got her there and determined no stuck puppy though she was fully dilated and mild contractions. After some discussions, and with the weekend coming we decided to give her a shot to try and induce labor, and if no puppies within 2 hours, emergency c section. Turns out she was in labor, was having contractions but for some reason her muscle walls would not 'push' through the contractions. 2 hours later and still no puppy or pushing, into surgery she went. After it was all over, talk about a heavy blow when the vet tells me I am lucky to still have her and puppies and that the puppies made it. She ended up with 9, only 3 were still attached to their placentas and 2 were completely out of their water sacks. Today taught me that if you think something may be wrong, don't wait. These things are definitely little fighters already and very blessed and fortunate to have them all here 🙏🏻💖 and Maggie is slowly becoming more alert and is now spayed. Welcome to the world little babies 🐾
