Puppy # 3

Sad news about Puppy # 3. After a very long and tiring labor, we needed to visit the vet for a couple of shots of Oxytocin. This wasn't as effective as we had hoped it would be and the third puppy didn't make it. This last puppy was a very small tawny female with black masking. My vet tried everything to get her back, but nothing worked. We are sad here at Channahon about the loss of the little girl, but grateful to have the two healthy pups we do have. They are nursing very well and should do fine.

Early Labor?

Jade lost her mucous plug yesterday morning and since this morning, she's been going through intermittent periods of rest, panting, pacing, whining, licking and nesting. It does appear that she's in the early stages of labor, but when she's asleep at my feet like she is right now, I second guess myself. We're hoping for the puppies to arrive sometime tonight or tomorrow. Check back, I will post all the details and some photos here as the pups arrive.
