Yesterday we found out that there was an older dog who had, surprisingly, delivered a single pup. This pup was breech and the mother was confused. In trying to help the delivery along, she inadvertently injured the pups hind feet. After the delivery she wanted nothing to do with the puppy, as I sad previously, she was confused. Paws and Prayers was contacted to help. The timing could not have been better and boy, were we in the right place at the right time! We introduced C.J. to the new puppy and she sniffed and licked, and then she let the puppy nurse! She accepted him right from the beginning, without hesitation. It is now the day after and NUBBINS made it through the night. He has a lot of catching up to do, but hopefully he will make a great recovery and those toeless feet of his won't be too much bother. I think C.J. has her paws full but she has been the best trooper! She now has an even eight pups, 4 girls and 4 boys!
