rogue 9 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 My jack russel went into labour on saturday afternoon and things just went bad from there! she gave birth to the first pup with out much trouble but unfortunatly it as dead. she then went on trying with the second wich is were it all went bad! she just could not get it out and was trying for a while at which point i thought i needed to help a little and managed to pull it free and this 1 was still alive but was realy struggeling and it passed away about 15 mins later (GUTTED). A this point her contractions just came to a hult after nearly 1hour i rang the vets which told me they could give her an injection which would help her start contracting again. so off i go to the vets and the dog has the needle and i take her home hoping things would start going a bit better. I was wrong!. 2 hours later i was back up the vets and the dog had to have a sersarion (not sure if thats how you spell it) We ended up with 1 pup as the other was deformed. then came the other good news!!! an £800 pound bill but at least the dog came out of it with no problems. weve decided to name the new pup CASH considering he cost us so much of it.

My Jack Russell (12 years old) had cancer of the kidneys (few years ago now) had treatment and operations for three months at a cost of £400. You ought to name your remaining pup "Highwayman" seeing as you have been subjected to Highway robbery Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've worked for a few vets and that price is outrageous. Glad all was well in the end tho. And I think Cash is a perfect name! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
