Shyanne of Stonehaven

 

Auction Dog #47 WR016204/03 Date of Birth: December 21, 2000 Microchip #034-078-038 Special Seller's Commentary: First litter had 10 raised 9, good mother -- free whelper, champion pedigree Seller: Julie Metz, Tunas, MO 65764

 

SPECIAL NOTE: Monday, October 6, 2003, OEMTF wrote the American Kennel Club to advise the AKC Certified Pedigree for this bitch, and this bitch's dam, are incorrect. There is NO brindle in the dam's pedigree for 5 generations, therefore, the pedigree is false.

 

OEMTF apologizes for the nature of these graphic pictures. Shyanne does, however, deserve for you to see these pictures. They were taken when she was spayed. Found inside her was a badly ruptured uterus, the result of prolonged, unproductive **hard** labor. In other words Shyanne labored with no veterinarian intervention, there was a serious problem and she was not helped in any way. That Shyanne lived through this ordeal is incredible, such a situation usually results in the death of the dam. The photos show dead and decaying puppies, remnants of bone, cartilege, skulls, fur, tissue, etc. found loose in her peritoneal cavity. This scenario (above) is as good a description of a dog farmer/puppy miller as you will ever hear. Shyanne was obviously not a good producer - poor baby.

 

When questioned, the veterinarian who performed the spay on Shyanne, gave his considered opinion of what might have happened to Shyanne:

1. What does he think happened to cause uterine rupture? Answer: Terribly unusual occurrence. He thinks the uterus contracted down (during whelping) and actually pushed that puppy (or possibly two) through a hole in the weakened uterine wall. Then the momentum "plugged up the hole" in the uterus and "walled off" the bones/fur/substance, which adhered to the lower abdominal wall, basically in scar tissue.

2. Could Shania REALLY have whelped a live litter on July 26, 2003? Answer: Maybe, she could have. This puppy (or puppies if there were 2, he could not be certain) would have been the last one(s) to come down the uterine "horn", as the hole was just past the left ovary. He said he did not count up all the bones exactly to see if indeed they "added" up to just one puppy, or maybe two. But not more than two for sure.

3. Wouldn't the post-whelp veterinarian examination catch this? Answer: Yes, the vet "should" have felt a lump in the lower belly, and it would/should have shown up on an xray - if an xray was taken. But if Shyanne was totally relaxed and showing no visible problems, maybe the vet didn't even check that carefully. IF they had done xrays pre-delivery to count the pups, then that would have also been indicative of a problem, since she would not have delivered the total # of pups. Even though xrays are not as exact as an ultrasound for a puppy count, it would have been a guideline for a puppy count.

This is only the 2nd such "ruptured uterus" (the veterinarian)seen in his lifetime of practice, and he's in his 50's - has seen thousands of deliveries over the years.
