I apologize if I am in the wrong section to post this, please forgive...but I need some advise or help PLEASE from a breeder that's been thru this. This is my girls first litter. She had one boy and one girl. I just got back from the vets office with the little girl because she was struggling to breathe. He said she had some pneumonia and gave her amoxicillin. She's laying there with her mouth open and she looks like she is gasping for air. I can't get her to nurse right now...he said that would be the BEST thing for her (to nurse) to get her strength up. PLEASE, somebody...any suggestions on what I can do to help the little thing? My heart is breaking..........Thanks so very much & again I apologize if I'm in the wrong section, but I was hoping someone had been thru this and knew what to do. Thanks again & God bless.
