Not good

[gregmonsta]

I just don't know, she's not very responsive to touch at all right now. The last time I handled her was 9 days ago and she was fine then.
I don't know if I could cope with doing an emergency caesarian.
Doing a post mortem on Xena was bad enough.

If there's any chance at babies still being alive it may come to that Buddy but it's your call. You're there and she's your girl. You do what you think you should do.

That's why I called myself a cynical *******. I know I'd be capable of doing it simply on the grounds that the math makes sense.

[bkhuff1s]

Yeah I'd have a hard time doing it myself...

[gregmonsta]

I've got no other option than to leave it to the rp vet tomorrow. I'll post up as soon as I get back.

Good luck!

[prattypus]

godspeed.

I really hate to bring this up, but I am a cynical *******: If it really starts looking like she's minutes away from death, I'd consider an emergency caesarian section to salvage what I could.

I agree^^^ If all the 'salvage' dies, nothing is lost. If you don't try to salvage, there's nothing to gain. IF only one 'salvage' neonate lives, there is nothing but gain.

Still, a purely personal choice by the only available 'surgeon'.

Too damp; too cool; poor air circulation; anything that might have contributed?
