It is often risky for Chihuahuas to deliver puppies due to their small size. This was the case with Tiffany Rose.
She was bred in December and went into active labor on February 19th, 2014. Her owner called on the morning Tiffany Rose went into labor with concerns because she had been in hard labor for more than five hours but had not yet delivered her puppy.
Tiffany Rose came into the clinic and after examination and an ultrasound to verify that the puppy was alive, the veterinarian and veterinary technicians began to prepare for a Cesarean section. But then, just minutes before Tiffany Rose was to be prepared and sedated for the surgery, she was able to push the pup so that it was within reach.
Now, with some assistance from Dr. Julie and Abby, a technician, the puppy was delivered without surgery. It was fortunate that assistance was immediately available because the puppy became lodged in the birth canal.
There were no other pups to deliver. Tiffany and her pup were able to return home with the owners not long after the delivery. It was a very exciting day for Tiffany Rose's family!
