@RUNuts mama is still in labor!?! I don't know what's normal for dogs, but I imagine the poor thing is exhausted after over 24 hours!

Whew, it's been a while! How's the balut?

Whew, it's been a while! How's the balut?

Last week's balut eggs were DOA.
This Thursday's eggs are going to be good...I just know it.

Yes. Squirmy #6 at 3 AM. Complications. She went to vet this AM.
3 cockerels, 3 pullets & 3 stillborn.
Normal labor 24-48 hours. We think she is empty. Waiting to confirm. Depending on when we think she started, she passed the 48 hour mark yesterday.

Sorry for the downer so early.
6 little squirmies. Happy thoughts & puppy breath.

6 is a good number.

@RUNuts 9 is a BIG litter. Glad number 6 is ok after such a long labor. Hopefully mama is on the road to recovery now. You are doing a good thing for all of them.

@RUNuts congrats on the puppies, and sorry about the stillborns, I hope the mom and pups are ok!
@KikisGirls Is this the third try with balut? Hoping it turns out & thanks for the update

@RUNuts -- The puppies are adorable. I'm really hoping Mom is OK. That labor had to be exhausting on her. Is she still at the vet?
