And Jordan provides yet another good reason for people NOT to breed.... LOL

Well, she's been in labour for, oh about 15.5 hours... I made an emergency appt this morning when she was continuing to leak fluid but there were no contractions or pushing, and I couldn't feel the pups move anymore. If progress isn't made, it will likely be a c-section this afternoon. We did an x-ray. Turns out we only have two puppies (I just can't win... LOL atleast we doubled the last litter count!!) and they are GIANTS. They haven't made it into the birth canal yet, which is why Visa isn't having contractions or pushing. They seem happily content waaay up in her abdomen. We can only hear one heartbeat, but that really means nothing, my vet just doesn't have a fetal heart monitor so she can't get a good reading.
I gave Visa some calcium and have been giving her herbal remedies (that may kickstart things a bit more) every 15 minutes. I gave her some Biocalm. I'm tryign to get her outside to run around after her remedy but she is very reluctant. The exercise might help move things along though.
I'm so disappointed about there only being two. I had several amazing breeding homes lined up all over the states. Oh well, what can you do. I just hope the puppies are healthy and happy puppies.

So, another lesson to the person who wants to breed... I have spent almost $3000 on this litter. By this afternoon I may have to spend yet another $1000 on a C-section for this litter. I get two puppies, which is convenient because I want one..and stud fee is a female puppy. There goes ANY money I could have made -- AND -- if there are no females, I still have to pay the $1200 stud fee. Who says breeding makes money??? I sure don't!!!
