My friend had a doodle whose leg was broken. When she brought him back to be recasted, he died of cardiac arrest during the procedure. Just like people...sometimes there are unforseeable complications. Sorry for your loss.

        above and beyond for me. He knew if I took that puppy home, I would get attached more and even if she never stood up, I would have hand fed her and just taken care of her. I really do not have the... more

  I am sorry you are going through this. It is hard on so many levels. We went through this with our first litter. I am still on edge all day until I get the call that our babies are ok.

- so sorry- there is so much heartache at times with this job — Kendra~ Noble Vestal Labradoodle, Wed May 16 10:14
  
  but remembering that helps us not take for granted all of the healthy puppies we produce. Aw- no words will soften this heartache
- Do you ever do preanesthetic bloodwork — Joyce of Annabelle Doodles, Wed May 16 10:01
  
  when you spay your pups? Many times, this will alert the vet that something is not right with the pup. So sorry to hear of this heartache. :+(
- - from past experience puppy bloodwork — Barbie, Wed May 16 11:03
    
    is all over the place - it means nothing. It's not the same as adult dogs.
  - - We did the pre-surgery bloodwork and later — Jacque, Gabby Jack Ranch, Thu May 17 03:17
      
      discovered that this vet never got the results prior to surgery! (A vet tech who used to work there gave me all of the truth about this vet...there is more. *sigh*)
    - I have to agree on that with regards to puppy — joy shadymaple, Wed May 16 23:55
