timmy k 590 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Last year my digging buddy put his dog over his bitch and she got a womb infection, nearly killed her. He put the same pair together this year she had 2 pups, one died at birth the other 2 days later, neither pup looked that healthy and maybe it was due to a inhospitable womb, but just to edge are bets we put his dog to my bitch (the mother to his bitch). Theirs 4 weeks to go so fingers crossed all goes well. Had your bitch whelped before? If so it might work in your favour, I think sometimes some bitches are not good brood bitches and never will be, but good luck with future stock, it's one thing we should always do strive to improve are stock, not just for ourselves but for the future of the working terrier. 2 Quote Link to post
marshman 7,757 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'd doubt that there'd be anymore pups left mate , but you never know. Also if it where me I'd give her another try next time. A proper sickener though ! 1 Quote Link to post
jayjay 264 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 sorry to hear that bob, strange one that......... I suppose if you wanted to be certain there are no more pups there, you could get her scanned, but i'm no expert......, but would have thought that once a cycle had started (as in going into labour and having contractions) I would have thought that everything that was there waiting to come out, would have come in time......just my thoughts, hope the bitch is ok, all the best, jay.
