Day two was a rough day. Three of the puppies were not latching on and were clearly deteriorating. They were brought to the vet and it was discovered they all had cleft palates. They all had to be euthanized. It was a big shock to all of us and was extremely upsetting.
Hops seems unfazed by the missing pups and is a top notch mama to the two that are left - who are thriving! So we now have one male and one female.
I am now an overly concerned dog Grandma, watch the puppy cam all the time and alert the breeder anytime the pups are missing, under Hops' leg or otherwise look compromised!
