Wow, I've never seen any patients experiencing dystocia, but I have heard horror stories about cases with the puppies getting stuck in the canal, not being able to breathe, and dying. I know what you mean about eating as if you've seen nothing, though.

We've got another tumor today (labrador retriever) but we're waiting for another Dr. to help remove it. This one is pretty big. He also has the laser with him, so we can't do the spay/neuter declaws we have either, until he gets here with the machine. I'll post pics of the tumor when we're done.
