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 time as bad as that sounds - but if a dog can't be a dog and I mean a real dog - then they shouldn't be made to suffer. That is how I feel.

  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.

  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
