13 puppies, at what, $500 each? And she wouldn’t even put out the cost of a visit to the vet. Sick!
Triple that easily if there are papers with both sire and dam coming from a good line.
$500?
Even backyard breeders get $1000 a pup.
That’s 13 grand.
She can just buy another bitch and keep on going.
This crap happens all the time with WV greeders who pump out Bulldog [and other Brachycephalic breed] pups who are rarely born *without* C-sections.
Although vets tend to be greedy, money-first jerks nowadays and do refuse service to people without a fortune in their pocket, very few if any will turn away a whelping dog in distress.
You’d have to really hunt to find one *that* cold blooded.
A dog with ‘stuck’ pups is in less danger than the stuck pups are, especially in a dog of that size.
I would bet she had time to get to a vet if the bitch was her great concern.
If the dog was breeching, you would think she’d have noticed distress long before the point she starting gutting the poor thing.
A stuck pup isn’t near as dire as a breeched calf or foal.
Gone are the days when vets cared for animals above all else.
My gramma had the vet come out in the middle of the night to deliver calves and he always told her to pay him the next time she saw him.
The heart has gone out of that profession.
