You might have a pup breathing and it's very weak, can't nurse, and will die like a day later or something but breathing and then die right away seems strange to me. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone or anything it's just not the norm in my experiences. |
A POP shot should never be given during the whelping of the first pup, it will cause premature placentia seperation. I have had my vet give an additional shot. But the amount given was minimal and only on a bitch that had delivered 3 and 2 more were there. But, he only waited 5 minutes for the contractions to begin again...they didn't and he went in to get the other 2. Timing is very important when administering Oxcy.
The other thing about Revolution. I don't give my dams anything, beginning from just before they begin their Season until the pups are 2 weeks old, then I begin their heartworm meds again (Intercepter without the other poison for fleas). Great for deworming pups too, through mothers milk.
