What a long day it has been for Gambit and me. After 5 puppies she was exhausted and needed a break. She had a big sleep, a potty break and some water and a light meal and then decided she was finished. After about a 6 hour break she started to have some very light contractions but was not pushing at all. I decided that an oxytocin shot was in order. After the shot she had puppy 6 and 7 in 10 minutes. I am not sure if she is finished yet or not but I will give her another shot in about a hour to see if there are any more pups. I will be very happy when this birthing is finished. I think it took her so long because the puppies were very big but any way we are both exhausted.
