Had 3 heartbreaks with one perfect ending last year.
1. Our Priscilla was 2 weeks to her due date and started to spot! It was a case of Metritis (inflammation of the endometrium (lining) of the uterus due to a bacterial infection, usually occurring within a week after a dog has given birth. It can also develop after a natural or medical abortion, miscarriage, or after a non-sterile artificial insemination. The bacteria that are most often responsible for infection of the uterus are gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia coli, which often spreads into the blood, causing a blood infection. The infection may lead to sterility, and if left untreated, septic shock, a lethal condition, may follow.)
We could have lost her! But we got her to a specialist 55 miles away in the middle of the night and just as we arrived she dropped a fetus. We had her fixed and after 3 days in the hospital she came home happy and healthy!
2. Lola only had 1 puppy in her first litter, A "Lit" , He was perfect and beautiful. 6 weeks later he had to put down because of a under developed respiratory condition. I stayed awake 24 hours straight to feed him drops of pedialite and water. It was a second heartbreak.
3. Lola's second litter. TRIPLETS! They were beautiful! But we lost the two smaller ones a boy and a girl hours after they came home! Our surviving baby was the first one out , bigger and healthy! She is almost 1 year and lives a great life very close to us. We see her a lot! Roxy is her name!
So that's the 3 heartbreaks and a perfect ending!
