When I have a pup here that is fading, or weak. I make the call per pup per circumstance. It's not always the same call. I may wait 24 hours to tube feed them. I may go straight to tubing. I may have to give one oxygen also. This is a very good article one I've read many times.
I've lost one (one day old), and I'll probably lose more. But since then, I too have decided to be as prepared as possible to help these puppies by studying and being as ready as I can. There are some that are not going to make it and we all know that as breeders. And they leave us wondering why? What could I have done? But they wouldn't have made it anyways because it just wasn't meant to be. |
