I just read you thread and agree with your comments and I sincerely hope your pup makes a full recovery. I know only too well the heartbreak that can be involved when breeding a litter. I nursed one pup for 11 days from my last (2nd) litter, I hand fed him several times a day as he was sometimes too weak to suckle. I had taken him to the vet so many times convinced there was something wrong with him and he was diagnosed with constipation, then they weren't sure what was wrong, one day he was fine, the next day he could barely hold up his head and his body swelled. At 11 days I had to say enough was enough as he was so far behind the other 7 pups in growth. I had him pts and a post mortem revealed he had a hole in his bladder so he would never have made it anyway. How I sobbed over that poor little mite. Apart from the cost of having a c-section, as the pups were 3 days overdue, I had the bitch scanned twice a day over those 3 days to check the pups heartbeats, she was on various medication, I also had the added expense of this poor pup to cover. Needless to say, I was out of pocket rather than making a fast buck as some people seem to think is the case. The irony is that the pup I kept has decided to hold onto his testicles, people make similar remarks to me, why would they think I would re-home him just because he can't be shown, he is a beautiful pup and I am proud to have bred him.
