Merry doesn’t seem the worse for wear but I am. We were at the ER all night.. Got home at 8 am after the vet there gave her shots to deliver three puppies. One was dead two are fine. This took us from 7pm thru about 2:30 am. But then she did a final xray and saw yet one more. Shots didn’t work. But rather than c section, we came home hoping Merry could finally deliver it. No. So at noon we went to. My regular vet who decided to try one more shot since it had been awhile. It worked but we lost that puppy. Still i prefer this to a c section especially for one dead puppy. All home.. Merry eating, drinking, nursing. I am going to sleep. Final count is 8. Five boys, three girls…

Wow! What a night for you all. I’m sorry about the two lost puppies. There are some very tough decisions to face. I’m sure you did what was best for Merry. C-section is always a last resort, but it still stinks to lose any babies when you work so hard. Hope you’re getting some much needed rest! take care

You guys must be worn out. Very very sad bout the little ones that didn’t make it but I’m very happy that Merry and the rest of the litter are all fine. Give Merry a hug and a cookie for me.

I am so glad that it is over for both of you. Sorry about the loss of the puppies but glad that Merry is home and doing well. And, rest if you can. So many little ones to watch over.

Happy all is well with sweet Merry but never easy to loose puppies:((. I know Merry is in excellent hands so now time for you to try and get some rest.
