Beatrix Potter Litter

The Beatrix Potter litter has been planned for some time. Unfortunately we have had a lot of misses and G hasn't been able to get pregnant since her litter in 2016 :(

This time we have had a little more luck (although not a lot). G has been scanned and she is, indeed, pregnant, but the vet could only see 1 puppy. I am holding thumbs that she can hold onto this little one, and also that there are maybe 1 or 2 more hiding (although the vet is not hopeful). The fact that there is only 1 puppy means that there may be a problem at the time of delivery (if she can carry it to term). If her uterus can't contract properly when the time comes, she will need a caesar.

The next step is an x-ray on day 60 to check that the pup is fully formed, and to see if there are any more. I could do another scan during the pregnancy, but I feel that will just stress her out even more, and increase the chances of her reabsorbing the pup.
So we have 28 days to go....
