Bad day

[rcr]

Another one of those breeding sad stories.

I noticed one of my chins, a white v/c carrier, in labor at about 9am this morning. After about an hour of watching her with no progression, I decided to check her and noticed the very tip of a white tail protruding. Took her out of the cage and tried to help tugging gently with the contractions. It didn't budge. Then worked a pinky up there to see if I could get a hold of the back legs and couldn't so off we rushed to the vet (who is thankfully only 10 minutes away) The vet worked on her for an hour including giving a shot of pitocin. She pulled hard enough to detach the tail and the baby didn't budge. The vet said her pelvic opening is a good size and that the kit was breach and upside down which could be the problem. So now I'm waiting for them to do a C-section and I told them to spay her too. She is such a beautiful white girl. I'm so sad I'll never get to see any kits out of her. (this was her first litter). :tissue:

 

[Sandi]

Very sorry about the kit, I hope your chin recovers well after her surgery. Good luck!

 

[MyFuzzies]

I'm sorry to hear the sad news...I hope Mommy heals quickly!!

 

[Silverrose]

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. Hope your girl makes ok through surgery.

 

[addictedtochins]

Oh, I'm sorry for the loss of your kit, I'm glad you were able to get help for mom quickly. That certainly saved her life.

Thanks everyone!:hugs:

The C-section is going to $600+. :wacko: But I'm so glad I found a good vet who can do c-sections on chins before I ever ran into this problem.

 

[MegFarris]

good luck on the c-section. I hope she pulls through well! Keep us updated.

 

[starleomach]

I have my fingers crossed for you and her

Hope mom pulls thru the surgery. Keep us inform.

 

[Dolyphinm]

Any updates on mom? You are lucky to have a good vet.

 

[Parkerspetchins]

I hope your girl is OK, sending good thoughts for you.

 

[chinchildren]

Back from the vet, post surgery. Lacey is resting comfortably and even nibbling on some hay. The breech kit weighed in at 61 grams, plus there were 2 mummified kits in the process of re-absorbing. She's on pain meds and SMZ. On the bright side she will never have to go through another horrific birthing experience and once healed she can be with her mate again. They are a very bonded pair and I would have hated to separate them permanently.

 

[6Dusters]

Gosh I'm really sorry that happened to you. Well wishes to your little chin girl.

 

[rcr]

This is how they usually sleep.

 

[Essentia]

Aww, very cute snuggles.

I am very sorry you had to go through this, but I'm glad to hear everything turned out good for mom.

 

[Parkerspetchins]

Glad she came through surgery well, I hope she heals quickly! She and her mate are adorable together!

 

[addictedtochins]

How's she doing?

 

[Cinder and Me]

My gosh, I'm sorry you both had to go through that.
I hope she is healing quickly and can soon be back with her mate.
The picture of the two of them is so precious!
