Whelping: A Puppy Born with Intestines on the Outside of the Body

Caution: Graphic Pictures

From a breeder who wished to share his experience

"The last female was born with her intestines coming out. I rushed her to the vet. The vet said they usually survive for a few days, then infection always sets in, so best to euthanize the puppy. I am VERY sad. I wanted to try and save her. She looked healthy otherwise. Sigh..."
