As usual, they had to carry her to the back room for her x-rays because Daisy just is not willing to leave me. However, she is happy to be carted in some one's arms. :+)
Although Daisy has been bred before, this was my little Thaddeus' first mating at just over a year of age. I guess he is one potent boy! We only bred once but it certainly was enough!

Looks like I can take a few more applications for this litter! Now, we all wait for her to deliver this huge brood. My vet and I did discuss a possible c-section for so many pups. However, I truly prefer a natural delivery as Daisy's last litter was ten and they were all born in 2 & 1/2 hours!! Keeping my fingers crossed she will repeat it. If there should be any symptom of a problem, I will promptly take her in for a C-section. I always err on the side of safety for all.
Typically, large litters come a bit early, so maybe Daisy and I will be welcoming in the New Year together. :+)
Wow Joyce!!! Huge litter! What is YOUR ETA?
ReplyDeleteProbably New Year's Eve. Could be earlier. I hope it is earlier!
ReplyDeleteI bet Daisy hopes it is earlier too!
ReplyDeleteThat’s a remarkable number of pups!
ReplyDeleteSending good wishes to sweet Daisy and to you, too :)
Yes it is! Both Daisy and I will need lots of wishes that all goes well. Thanks for your thoughts as always. :+)
ReplyDeleteSending positive thoughts that all goes well with the whelp.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate that, Deb!
ReplyDeleteAnd you thought you'd be "safe" not breeding Daisy to Wyatt again! Can wait to see them. <3
ReplyDeleteCan you believe it? Boy, was I wrong on that thought. Ms. Fertile Myrtle had other ideas.
