Sorry to hear that,but good that they are eating and can get along without her milk. Her body just could not level off and keep up with the calcium.And she is small with pups too much of a drain on her.My 5 pounder had eclampsia also ,with 2 babies.We brought home calcium and had to inject it under the skin for a day before she leveld off and could handle it.(with not letting them nurse much either I think it was 4 times a day and not for very long).Do not inject anything though unless by your vets advise for they can die from too many calcium injections,even under the skin my vet said.
They are adorable pups!

This is very serious, for her to go down a second time means see was still nursing too long and hadnt bounced back. Most vets advise to NOT NURSE at all for the health of your mom.

I hope this helps

Gracie had eclampsia once and it's something I'll never forget. I had to get up every 4 hours round the clock to feed the babies. Luckily, since I live just a couple of blocks from where I work, my boss is very understanding and let me go home for feedings through out the day.

I let Gracie nurse twice a day and kept her bandaged and out of the ex pen the rest of the time. I not only fed the pups, but I peed/pooped them as well.

Rox is feeling so much better and acting like her self again. When I was out feeding horses yesterday one of the kids let her in with the babies, and she did feed them, but she was so engorged that I figured it couldn't hurt. Now she hasn't filled up near as much, I'm sure she's more comfortable.

The puppies are starting to become really playful. And attack everything. Titan (daddy) is really liking it. He comes in and lets the puppies attack him and play on him. I'm surprised how good he is with them. Here is a pic of one of them biting Titan's leg
