We have had a busy 48 hours! Jynx started her prelabor on 11/30. We have been anxiously watching and waiting for her to deliver. We had a vet visit 36 hours after her temperature drop on 12/1 and our vet examined her and did some progesterone testing to see where she was at and how soon we needed to get really worried. We gave her until morning to produce a puppy. She finally had her first at 10:45pm. Oh was he ever a big boy at 1.12lbs- no wonder it took so long. Then she produced a pup every 20 min like clockwork. . . and halfway through she had a rest for a couple hours. She then had a longer pause and after 4 1/2 hours produced another large boy. then 20 min later another boy. Then she had another pause. Our poor girl was also exhausted. After calling the vet (second time that day), the vet had us bring her in.

From the first set of xrays we knew that we had 1-4 more pups and an exhausted mama. We took her in to the vet and an Xray showed us one more large pup, high up. This means it would be hours more and the chances of the pup not making it were high. We opted for a C-section. We had one more large boy. Mama was so much better after. She then could focus on her litter.

We had lots of ideas about naming litters but decided we'd let them reveal their own personality. And this one did. We have one little girl- 200 grams smaller than the biggest boy- and about 30-40g smaller than the average sized ones.
