Onestop just passed a preemie. Still much of the egg yoke visable. Very weak and half as small as her siblings.
She also has an exposed lower GI tract. She will have to be euthenized.
Poor little scrub didn't have a chance.
*update.
Working with another just deliverd. Appeared stillborn and fully developed. Looks like it's unable to take a breath. Tried some recued breaths for it but I'm not sure it will make it.

Poor thing. Seems like I get one of those with every northwestern litter. Not sure why.

[BLUESIRTALIS]

Sorry for your losses.

The one that was having trouble breathing is doing much better.
When it first gasped for breath, the inside of it's mouth was bright white.
It's now has some color inside the mouth. Also doing some tongue flicking and movement on its own.
This one will need some TLC for awhile.
Onespot still looks like she's has babies to deliver.
