Shelob Gave Birth!

Posted by Borgy On November - 10 - 2009

Shelob, my Boston Terrier, gave birth to six puppies at 1AM today. She’s a small dog and her puppies are big so she had to undergo cesarean procedure. Early this year, Arwen gave birth to two big puppies via normal delivery and both puppies died. So since then, we never risk having any of our toy dogs give birth normally.

Look at Shelob. She’s the only dog I know who can’t put her entire tongue inside her mouth. So when she closes her mouth, the tip of her tongue sticks outside. I’ve always thought it looked funny. :D

It was past midnight and Shelob was considered an emergency case in the clinic. The vet and the helpers had to be woken up so there’s an extra fee for that hassle. I paid a relatively big amount for the service and medicines but it’s still nothing compared to the price of one puppy that may die if she did a normal delivery.

And here are the cute puppies. They’re five girls and one boy. Sadly, the boy puppy has cleft palate and Kuya TJ said it’s not a good thing. Most puppies in such case die because the milk they suck goes to their lungs through their deformed snout. I felt sad about it but I’m hopeful he will survive so I can keep him as a pet.

BTW, the puppies are for sale. In two months I’ll start advertising them after they get their papers and shots.
