Possibly the freakiest story I have of being a vet nurse so far
A whelping bitch, bully staffy type mix I believe, rather large, came into my work. She had given birth to some puppies at home, eaten them, and then ceased producing pups. Not common for dogs to eat their own young, but it does happen, often with bitches that are inexperienced. Some people aren't meant to be mothers - some dogs aren't either.
A quick xray showed us the 5 puppies still in her uterus.
It also showed us the 3 dead puppies in her stomach. Literally inches away from each other.
She had a caesarian and was not allowed anywhere near those puppies.
Seriously wish I had thought to sneakily get a copy of that xray.
