I put her back with the boys and treated her like "normal" as advised

A week later I tipped her upside down to just check her out and saw a pup move, even though she had put on NO weight at all !

On Saturday day 60 she was very restless so I kept a close eye on her

She really started to get going Sunday morning, and delivered a beautiful black and tan girl at 6.15 Sunday evening on day 61 weighing 8oz

We have had a rough two days, first Katey wouldn't acknowledge the pup although she would let her feed, then her bottom two teats were getting very heavy. Didn't sleep Sunday night at all and spent all day yesterday milking her bottom two teats as pup had a hard job latching on, and toileting her while trying to comfort Katey

Today we have turned a corner, pup can now latch onto bottom teats and Katey has decided that she is now ready to be a Mum

Anyway here she is
Just goes to show even the best laid plans don't always work
Sorry to hear you've been through such a time, but pleased to hear
that mum & pup are now bonding
Lets hope they go from strength to strength, good luck Rach
