There has to be. Tina , the little pale coloured papillon has had her three pups but there had to be a Caesarian section performed on her and I've had a busy day trying to help them to latch on and suck and persuade Tina that they actually belong to her . I think they have all been affected by the anaesthetic...I'm feeling a bit like that myself after spending all last night watching her as she went into labour and with not so much as a short nap today and the prospect of another night on the living room floor next to the "nursery" it looks like I might take longer to recover than expected. The trouble seems to have been caused by the pups being big. Now don't laugh, you owners of bigger breeds of dogs, but these 3 pups each weighed almost 8 ozs., and that is a fair size for a papillon!
See you soon...with photos.

Good luck with your latest editions. Those were huge pups. The poor Mom.
I bet you're shattered. I hope they do ok.
Oh, my goodness, those are big babies! I hope mom is okay and the babies too...and you.
Size is definitely relative when it comes to babies.
Hope you, mom and the pups can all get rested up.
Huge pups! Twice the size they should have been. No wonder Tina was uncomfortable towards the end, it must have been like carrying six in there.
Hope all goes well and you get some sleep soon.
Fingers crossed all goes smoothly from now on. Well done Tina.
Huge Pups - poor Tina, but also well done! Best wishes to new family and good luck to you in trying to get some rest. Hazel Malcolm
