Poor Milli has lost her babies. Probably due to their only being the two of them the pups had grown quite large. The first pup made it's way to the vulva hind feet first, about half of puppies are born this way but it makes it more complicated when it's the first pup as the widest part of the pup is not pioneering the way. Basically the puppy got stuck and sadly died before he could be helped successfully.Due to these difficulties Milli was taken to the vets, a scan reveled that there were no further heartbeats, and sadly Milli had to have a cesarean to remove the dead puppy. Luckily there was no damage to her uterus and she did not have to be spayed. In my opinion the second puppy would probably have died because of the complications with the first birth, but of course we will never really know.
I'm so very very upset, and not afraid to admit I cried at the sadness of the situation. Obviously her owners grief is tenfold ... I feel for her from the bottom of my heart. What a rollercoster ride of emotions it's been, especially for Milli and her owner. All we can do now is wish Milli a quick and successful recovery and mourn the death of the little ones who were too special for this world.
