After Mamma Chihuahua With Massive Belly Goes Into Labor, Baffled Vets Witness a Record

Tiny dogs can do incredible things.

And occasionally, a lot of miraculous packages can come out of one little mama pup.

Coco the Chihuahua was obviously very pregnant and on the verge of delivering some puppies. Owners Dawn and Bill Slater were plenty happy about the situation.

The animal-loving couple have other Chihuahuas, along with a collie terrier and a few cats. They couldn’t wait to add to their family!

But they wanted to make sure Coco’s pregnancy was moving along well, so they took her to the vet for a routine exam.

That’s when the doctor said Dawn and Bill should expect Coco to deliver five pups, and that the mother was in very good health.

Five pups! That sure seemed like plenty, so the owners went home happy and waited for the mom-to-be to start her painful but wonderful delivery.

Well, it began soon but after the fifth puppy came out, the owners realized the vet had been wrong … Coco wasn’t going to give birth to just five babies.

No, a sixth was definitely on the way. And amazingly enough, Coco just didn’t stop. As Bill told MailOnline:

“When we got to the ninth pup he wasn’t well, his bag had burst and we were trying to revive him.

We thought to ourselves, this is just impossible, when on earth is it going to stop, when the tenth came out.”

Ten puppies?! That really doesn’t seem possible, does it?

The biggest concern Dawn and Bill had was that such a difficult birth might give rise to complications. After all, ten babies could prove dangerous for any dog…

But thankfully, Coco seemed to come through the ordeal all right, and each of the ten pups appeared to be in excellent condition.

The new owners then set out to find homes for some of the babies, because they couldn’t possibly care for all ten!

Coco’s amazing feat is now registered in the Guinness Book of World Records, too! The record litter for dogs is 24, but Coco tops the Chihuahua list with 10.

That’s one tired mommy! 😉
