Hope your sitting comfortably!!
My Lab had a c-section on Monday morning, she had given birth to a pup on Sunday night which was tiny, and after an Oxytocin jab, there was no movement for the rest so vet decided to operate.
Anyway..............I have 2 surviving puppies, the first one that she delivered herself and another from the resulting c-section.
They are still alive, but when I opened the door to let the dog out this morning, she waited till my back was turned and took the tiny one out and put her in a whole she had dug previously.
The question is................Does she think its going to die? as its not as strong as the other and I've been occasionally supplementing its milk.
I'm now watching like a hawk incase she picks it up and hides it in the house.
What do you think? Am I fighting a losing battle with the little one and let it "do or die" which is not me, or does she not want iy after her c-section?
Any comments gratefully received!!!
