I woke up and went down stairs to let the dogs out and Bailey just continued to lay on the bed so I left her there with John. I fed the dogs and made Bailey's breakfast and took it upstairs so she could eat without the other dogs trying to steal her food. I couldnt find her and when I called her she came crawling towards me and couldn't hardly walk. I picked her up and her whole body was convulsing. I called the vet because I knew it had to be eclampsia and she was going to need a calcium drip fast. I was scared to death. She has been so picky and wont eat hardly anything sinced she had her babies and the 5 of them are just sucking it out of her. She wont eat yorgurt, cottage cheese, goats milk or anything else that has calcium in it and spits the Tums out of the braunswieger. I have been feeding her Esbilac with the food that I can get her to eat but her body just said no more. I think the vet said the calicum level should be an 8 or so and hers was barely 4. He put her on a drip and shortly after she ripped the catheter out. Guess she wasnt having any of that. She seems ok now but I will have to start feeding the pups myself for a couple days and then we will see if she can continue to feed them or not. I am having a heck of a time trying to get them to nurse off of a baby bottle or syringe. I dont want to tube them unless I have to. Let me know if you have any suggestions. I cant find a premie nipple anywhere.
