My mom took her the vet Thurs to have her progesterone level checked. Her level had dropped to a 1.5 so we kept our Fri morning appt for the c-section. Cadence went into early labor Fri morning at 4am. She'd been monitoring her temp and it never dropped. THIS IS WHY YOU NEVER WANT YOUR BULLDOG TO GIVE BIRTH NATURALLY!!!!!
We lost 1 puppy in the birth canal. They tried to save her, but Cadence had been trying to birth the pup for over an hour. They called the Dr at home and he rushed in and Cadence went in for an emergency c-section. Charlie (female) was a healthy 12ounces. Beautiful markings. Delta (female) came out next. She's the littlest of the litter at 8 oz. She is all white with some patches of color on her face. Echo (male) is the heartbreaker. He weighed in at 9.5 ounces BUT he was born with his intestines on the outside. The Dr was able to fix him, but he said his intestines suffered some blood loss. They were grey in color, so the next two days are critical for Echo. If he makes it thru the next 2 days, he has a fighting chance. Foxtrot (female) was the puppy pulled from the birthing canal. They worked on her for awhile but were unable to get a heartbeat. If Delta had been 1st to want to see the world, Cadence probably would have had no problem delivering her. If little Echo survives, my mom and stepdad are gonna keep him!
