Sorry, I didn\'t post earlier. Emergency C-section this morning. She was pushing, but nothing, pups heart rates were slowing down, so C-section was only option. Everyone is doing good, though. 4 girls, 1 boy. Mama\'s not too sure, yet. She\'s starting to bond with them, as long as they come to her. She doesn\'t want to go in the whelping box at all, but if I put them on my bed with her, she will take care of them. Vet said bonding is sometimes an issue with C-section pups, so it\'s going slow. I have been up since 6am yesterday. At some point I\'m going to crash, I know. Have to set alarm to get up every 3 hours to make sure pups nurse. Wish I had something to put around my bed so they wouldn\'t fall off, I\'d sleep on the floor, but they are strong little things, and do travel.
