It's been a long day, which actually started late Friday night with Monet not eating her dinner. Then around 11:00 she started being a bit restless and doing nesting activities. So I stayed up with her and dozed next to her whelping box. She ended up sleeping too until 4 AM when the panting and digging started again, then resting at 7 AM until 9 AM.
The first little boy arrived at 12:30, the second boy at 1:05, the third boy at 2:35. On the phone with my vet when the forth hadn't come and it had been a couple of hours. Monet wasn't in any distress and this can happen without resulting in any problems. I was able to listen to the heart beat with my stethoscope and all looked well. The end result was a very sad one. He was stillborn at 5:45. I buried him outside where he will be with the spring flowers. Monet and I did everything we could and he never came around. The three boys are just gorgeous, they are all white. One has very dark skin on his ears. Here are some pictures of them. I'm going to eat some dinner and go to bed!
