Bridget whelped this morning. She had a male that was just huge. He is the size of a 3 week old already! I waited around a couple hours and when she continued to push with no results, I checked her. She had a puppy that was trying to come down and she wasn't able to make progress. I took her in and we did a c-section. Another healthy female but much to my surprise, that was it. Just 2 HUGE puppies took up enough room for 6! Bridget is in pain, but is doing pretty well. The puppies are latching and are strong. After losing Libby's puppies, I really hoped for extra puppies. We'll make plans to save the next upcoming litters for those already waiting. At this point we're at nature's mercy. So we're hoping and waiting for strong healthy puppies and some nice litter sizes.
