I had a Boxer several years ago. We went in for a C section. Vet took out 5 puppies. No girls. I told him I needed a girl and she had 7 puppies last time, so to keep digging. He said everything is out , sorry no girls. I went home. Bitch would not eat or drink or settle down. For a couple of days. She started nesting again. I told the vet she was in labor and had to come back in. He said now Judi I know you wanted a girl but it just wont happen. I took her in anyway and demanded an xray. Guess what! 2 huge puppies. Lucky for him , they were both boys and both white.But still alive. Back in we went. I said spay her , I don't want to go through this again. Still no eating or drinking. This time very lethargic. Dropping pools of blood at a time.Vet said bleeding is natural. I screamed, I KNOW WHAT IS NATURAL!!! She is in trouble. Blood count was dangerously low. Back in we went. She had tried to grow a new uterus by attaching the uturen stump to the intestine. She had a mass the size of a soft ball. I made the vet tube feed her puppies for several day. My bitch lived to be 13. I guess I had the only bitch in the world to survive, two C sections and two spays in less than two weeks.
