premature birth??

[cjfrontlovr]

one of my motoro's birth 3 pups so far this morning..all three are doa..2 obviously are under-developed in the genital/stomach region and one appeared completely normal but lifeless.

i missed the birth by no more than 3 minutes as i had just been hand feeing to make sure they all were eating. turned the lights out, went and cleaned out the feed bowl and came back to 3 pups rolling in the sand..this is momma's second litter with no survivers..

is that premature or bitten by the adult male????

nah, one was still folded from birth and like i said the stomach region is underdeveloped.the largest one, the male was completely normal looking but lifeless..and no bite marks

she just gave birth to another normal but lifeless male, i dont know if she is keeping them inside to long and drowning them or what..i can see her skin flopping where the pups are..they're alive inside but dead when she births them..grrrr..

I wouldnt say premature. As the yolk sacks are kinda small. And You can tell they were alive as there talls are nice and fat. How big is the mom? Maybe something happens when there on the way out???

maybe water quality went bad when she gave birth???
