October 3, 2015 - Five puppies born normally, then one stuck puppy was held up in what seemed like a blockade and would not come out. Â We rushed to the emergency vet's office and ultimately had to have a c-section, in which seven other healthy puppies were born. Â Overall, Sprinkle had 12 puppies, but two did not survive the birth. Â Sprinkle is doing exceptionally well considering, but we found out through the surgery that Sprinkle has a small more closed in pocket in one of her uterine horns and will not be able to have further puppies without having a c-section. Â This is a huge health risk for Sprinkle and we simply cannot put her through that a second time. Â Therefore, this is Sprinkle's first and only litter of American Alsatian puppies. Â Congratulations, Sprinkle, for your new beautiful babies and thank you for your courage and bravery. Â You are a special momma, and we love you to pieces!
October 17, 2015Â - Sprinkle's fever broke and she is now back down to 100.5, a normal temperature for a dog. Â She is still weak and will still require time to recover, but there is some hope now. Â The puppies are getting used to the new routine and are beginning to drink water and use the bathroom on their own. Â They eat a LOT every 4 hours and are healthy and growing fast. Â
October 16, 2015Â - Not everyone can be a dog breeder. Â This litter is a testament to that. Â If ever there was an emotional and physically challenging litter, this is it. Â As you know, we had to rush to an emergency c-section due to a constricted uterine horn and a large pup. Â We lost two pups during birth, both males. Â Sprinkle recovered well with amoxicillin and her genuine love for her babies and all the puppies have been growing well with lots of milk production and a warm body into which they could snuggle up.
However, in her movements about five days ago, Sprinkle accidentally stepped hard on a puppy's front leg causing a dislocation of the pup's right elbow, which also took us to the vet. Â The elbow was reset, and the pup is doing marvelously well now, but the initial pain and trauma was real and so difficult to endure at the time. Â
Now, over the last few days, Sprinkle has developed severe and life-threatening mastitis, which is an infection in one of her mammary glands.  It has become swollen and bruised causing her to have an extremely high 106-degree temperature, potentially causing organ failure.  Once again, she was rushed to the emergency vet's office where they gave her Rimadyl, an anti-inflammatory non-steroidal drug to reduce the effect of the infection, in order to save her life.  Unfortunately, this is such a potent drug that she will no longer be able to nurse her puppies.  Thus, the puppies have begun drinking milk replacer and eating ground chicken and beef.  It is a big job taking over a mom dog's duties!  The puppies are doing extremely well, considering.  Sprinkle remains in critical condition at this time with a temperature remaining at 104 degrees.  She will continue to rest and receive life-saving medication and care in the vet hospital until her mastitis ruptures, draining the infection and hopefully reducing her fever to a more reasonable level. Â
If that wasn't enough, we learned that a nerve in Sprinkle's back was damaged at some point during the pregnancy or the birthing process and so she is having a difficult time using her back two legs. Â She wobbles while walking and must sit to urinate as she cannot hold her back up. Â The veterinarian states that this nerve will take time to regenerate and revitalize. Â However, she may never be able to walk as well as she did before she had her puppies. Â
No one could have predicted these things would occur to Sprinkle. Â She was hip/elbow x-rayed, checked for heart and all her blood work was all normal. Â She did not give birth until she was 2 years old. Â She has the best temperament and is so loving and sweet to all. Â Everything that could have been done to make sure that she was ready for motherhood was done before she even bred. Â Sprinkle just happened to have the worst time ever giving birth and raising her young. Â It is extremely difficult to see her in this much pain and we hope and pray that she recovers soon. Â
No, it's not easy being a dog breeder.  It's not that this sort of thing happens all of the time, but it's just the fact that it CAN happen... to even the most conscientious breeders. Â
