My female Labrador Retriever was taken in to Newton Animal Emergency for an emergency C section after whelping one live pup at home. The next pup was obviously stuck and without haste, we took her to this clinic as my regular vet was on vacation and it was a weekend as well.

I am a breeder and this was a valuable b***h bred to an amer/can Ch stud dog.

Not only did they make us wait several hours - all the while my b***h in agony with contractions trying to pass a huge, breech puppy, but they also would not allow me to assist in reviving pups, as is normal practice with any other vet I have used for sections over the years.
Many hours later, in the waiting room, I was presented with the news that all 9 of my pups were dead, but were however, initiallyborn with heartbeats.

This is NOT normal, unless something goes very wrong at the vets.

I later learned that the incorrect anesthetic was used in an excess amount.

My girl took over 6 hours to wake up, she should have been up in one hour.

I just want to let everyone know about this so that maybe it can be avoided for someone else.

The clinic has been trying to sue me for "payment for their services" now since the incident. I have refused to pay to date.

I would have loved to counter sue, however fianances do not allow me to do so.

In losing this litter, I essentially lost over $9,000 in what the puppies would have sold for.

I also lost the use of my b***h, as her uterus was so damaged that she could never get pregnant again. She was young, healthy and this was only her 2nd litter.

Pay up.

Sorry, but I have no sympathy for breeders for whom their "bitches" are nothing more than a source of income. You'd better pay the bill now because you'll end up paying the bill, plus interest, plus the clinic's attorney's fees if they sue. You're charged for services rendered and that doesn't guarantee the dogs will live.

Jen's filed report is untrue and inaccurate. Jen decided on her own to give an oxytocin injection at home prior to bringing her pet to the hospital. This injection is contraindicted with a puppy stuck in the birth canal due to the fact that it can cause damage and even rupture to the uterus.After bringing her pet to the hospital for the dystocia, she did not allow or staff to take an x-ray or perform pre-operative bloodwork on the mother. The attending doctor used isoflourane anesthesia (ideal for a C-section surgery) at the correct level. Prior to removing the puppies from the uterus, the 2 doctors performing the surgery noted free fluid in the abdomen (abnormal) and damage to the wall of the uterus.These changes correlate with the improper use of oxytocin by the owner.The puppies were not breathing when removed from the uterus and were unable to be revived. Only the skill of the 2 doctors saved the mother from a potentially lethal ruptured uterus. Than You, The Staff Of The Newton Veterinary Hospital.
