Things didn’t look good when a Labrador mix was admitted to the Hixson-Lied Small Animal Hospital. In fact, her condition was dire. She had been in labor for 24 hours, was unable to stand and had a puppy stuck in her birth canal. But thanks to the dedicated emergency and critical care staff, Ruthie is doing just fine these days.
