Our little guests have arrived!! #puppies #mastiffs

Wow,  was all I could say for today. Got woken up by Rhea around 3am. She was a bit out of sorts. By 5am to my extreme surprise.... She delivered a pup!   7am and another!  Then, it all stopped.  Will explain after you watch video.
Considering today was supposed to be her c-section day!!

 

So third puppy didn't come along and 3 hours past.  Mark ( our amazing vet at Rossmore Animal Hospital ) said she should have some Oxitocin to try and get her contracting with this time passing.  So... in we went.   With it and some Calcium IV she gave birth to baby #3. But...........  nothing after for quite some time.

We decided to do xrays, and to our surprise 2 more pups were in there.  He was certain that a c-section was going to be needed after all but decided to try one more shot of meds.  Well, it worked.  By 3pm  we had 5 pups and a healthy mom!! 

Long day, we got home. Everyone settled and this Grandma took a nap LOL.
