On June 5, 2026,  a 10 year old female tri-colored Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix.  She was referred to us by Allied Emergency Hospital for emergency surgery.  She had delivered 3 live puppies at home but her labor had stalled.  X-rays performed at Allied showed she had 3 more puppies stuck inside her.  She was only exhibiting weak contractions.  Allied’s doctors attempted medical treatment with Oxytocin to see if could get her labor to progress.  It was not successful. The owners could not afford surgery.  Allied recommended transferring to Northwood Animal Hospital for relinquishment for emergency surgery, in hopes of saving momma dog and the remaining puppies. The owners made the difficult decision to relinquish her for care. 

Taco and Tamale the only two of Tequila’s surviving puppies have started their puppy vaccine series.   They will be neutered soon and available for adoption.
