skeleton crew and could not help us.  The man suggested other emergency vet clinics.  Very upset and distraught, I had no choice but to call the next closest emergency vet clinic (which was 45 mins to and hour away from us), they couldn't believe what I was told and told me to come right down.  We got there at 12:30am, and sadly the office staff was very cold and uncaring but we had no choice to be there, so they took Dixie back to evaluate her.  After doing an  x-ray they discovered the last puppy was in a folded position with the front paw coming out the vaginal cavity, very obvious the puppy was deceased at this point.  Their options were to amputate the arm to get it out of the way to pull the puppy out, or try pushing the puppy back far enough to get the head to come down and pull out the puppy. To do these options it of course was not free and wanted money upfront, this was $500 just to TRY!  In addition telling me they needed a signed DNR on Dixie if things should go bad. In tears, they made me feel I had no choices.  So they sent us home to care for the puppies.  We returned back at the clinic at about 3:00am, for them to tell us they couldn't do anything , nothing worked.  So then as they so coldly explained the next options we had, we were feeling like there was no hope and no survival for our precious Dixie.  So the options were C-section at their cost of $6500 or send her home on antibiotics and go to our primary vet Monday, remember it is Sunday morning at now 4:00am.  Who has $6500 laying around or even have that kind of limit on a credit card? So again feeling defeated we came home with antibiotics and monitored her all day Sunday, June 20,2021 (Fathers Day). We got home at 5:30am (which now I have been up for over 24 hours) and Dixie was so excited to see her babies because she is such an amazing momma.  So I took a 2 hour nap, which I had to do for all our sakes.  Now I get up and sit with Dixie and she still continues to push because the baby is still in the birth canal and she is still considered in active labor.  As the day progresses and with me feeling helpless in watching her go down hill more and more.  I knew she couldn't hold out until Monday, I called the original emergency vet clinic I got turned away from in hopes I would get a different crew.  Thankfully I did get a new crew.  I explained to them the situation and what had happened in getting turned away the night before, they were in shock that I should have never been treated that way.  They quoted me between $2500-2900 for the emergency C-section.  I went straight down, this is now 3:00pm Sunday, June 20,2021.  I get there and they take Dixie right back, and as they are evaluating her the office manager comes out to speak to me about how I was treated, they also found my file in the system and saw I had been there an extreme numerous amount of times in the past and couldn't apologize enough. She also stated she would listen to the calls from that night to see what was said.  So I signed off on the quote and they sent me home as it will be awhile to prep her for surgery. They also stated that they wanted her coherent when I picked her up.  They also discussed keeping her intact which was first option, they called once they had her in surgery and unfortunately her uterus had a sever infection from the time the puppy has been left and suggested to spay her so I agreed and they proceeded with surgery.  I got the call at 8:00pm that she was out of surgery and doing well, they wanted to monitor her for a few hours and I could pick her up at 12:00am.  When I got there to pick her up they went over the charges and to my surprise the surgery cost was $2000, a lot better than the rip off of $6500 from the other horrible emergency vet clinic.  They brought her out to me and she was so happy to see me, she looked like her normal self.  She was so happy again to be back with her babies and she was doing much
