also just so you know these pups never cried or anything no bloating either very large pups

Sorry for your friends, this is a terrible thing to have happen... did your friend ask for necropsies to be done on the pups?? That might tell him something.... You mentioned the room temp but not the box... to me, 85-90 is very hot.. I usually keep the box around 75 degrees with no drafts and put in the warming discs.. Having puppies too hot is not good either... I have seen whole litters wiped out by coccidia.. hope they are testing for that as well because that sucker stays a round for a long time Just curious, do you know when the mother was most recently vaccinated and for what? I hope they find something.....
