Thanks, George, for the thought-provoking essay on the merits of goldfish. You've about got me convinced. I'll admit that being up with almost no sleep for three nights running may be coloring my logic just a bit. Jazzy is still in periodic labor, contractions evident. No puppies yet. Most of the current project is fighting dehydration. At the moment she gets 6 laps of water/pedialyte mix every 15 minutes. No more. Left to her own devices she will drink approximately three quarts at once, wait long enough to get back in the middle of her whelping bed, and do projectile vomiting of all three quarts. Wash bedding, dry, repeat. Hey George, I'd add one more important factor to the list of Goldfish benefits: they are flushable. Though I wouldn't want to bet against the idea that Jazzy may be thinking the same thing about me right now. Neither of us is enjoying this much.

Hi all,
ReplyDeleteIt is 10:56am on Saturday and Julie just called me. She is taking Jazzy to the emergency vet clinic in Greenville for an emergency C-section. Dr. Malphrus determined that the time was right for more invasive measures.
Please keep Jazzy and puppies in your thoughts and prayers. As Julie has time and news, she'll let me know and I'll post comments. If she can get an Internet connection at the clinic, she will post more, too.

Afternoon Pupdate:
ReplyDeleteJazzy delivered 10 puppies by C-section. Mom and babies are doing well. They will be released later today to go home. Being in familiar surroundings is much less stressful than staying in the hospital.
Puppy breakdown is 9 boys and 1 girl! Julie can provide more details on color, size, etc. Photos will also follow!
This is the "M" litter. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
