German Shepherd gives birth to 8 puppies but pup number four is green

- Canton, North Carolina, USA -

On Friday, January 10, a white German Shepherd named Gypsy finally had her puppies in her Canton family home.

Gypsy’s mom, Shana Stamey knew her furbaby was going to deliver her first litter of puppies, but the delivery unfolded an unexpected event.

Puppy number four came out lime green.

Ms. Suzanne Cianciulli, veterinarian technician at the Junaluska Animal Hospital, explained that:

“The sack that they're in when they're in their mom, there can be meconium in there and that tends to stain them.” Meconium is an infant mammal's earliest stool inside the uterus.

Given the pup’s color, the family came up with a few fun names, Gremlin, Pistachio, Pikachu, but at the end they chose to name the pooch Hulk.

Mom and babies are doing fine.

Shana said Gypsy had her babies in three hours and she is a really good mom.

Shana said when the puppies are old enough they will be adopted.
