Thalia expected two puppies for Caesar's [likely] last litter ever. This sable boy came pretty fast, but his brother took some time. We finally saw some progress, but when brother came into the world it was clear he was not breathing. We are pretty sure he died in the canal. He was fully developed, still pink, but stiff and full of fluid. He was not born in the sac, even though we opened her vulva and saw him in the sac. She continued pushing for a bit but we think the sac got broken during a push and he aspirated. I did CPR for almost an hour but no heartbeat 😭
