Cause for concern

As I mentioned in a previous post the boy puppies are not as quick to stand as the girls. I had hoped that this was just one of those things but as the puppies get older and we handle them more we have found cause for concern with Masamora. It appears that his chest is flatter than the others and sort of feels possibly deformed. This could explain why his legs are more at his side than under him like the other puppies. We knew going into this breeding that things could happen and at this point , though we have not seen a vet since their initial check up when all looked good, I fear that this poor puppy may not make it. I realize that he is just a puppy and that many people are facing many more difficult circumstances, but maybe if you could spare a prayer or two. My heart is breaking over this . I guess I am not cut out to breed dogs and am now thinking that we will never attempt this again. Thank you for your prayers
