Huge Litter

They are here! 16 pups were born 11/1/20 starting at 3am at home with no c-section.  Some assistance was needed occasionally, but over all Astraea was incredible. There was a 4 hour stall after pup 14, and we had to administer oxytocin, but the final two and largest pups of the litter came minutes after that.  Astraea was so in love that she kept trying to rub her face all over them constantly like she couldn’t get enough snuggles! We lost one pup the first full night, but the rest are starting to gain and look like they will all make it. We would appreciate prayer as we care for the rest of this huge litter. The pups are all reserved, but deposits will open in January for those who haven’t found a pup yet.

Astraea is enjoying her whelping box
