Make sure you keep her on puppyfood, soak it in milk if need be, and make it available to her around the clock. The one night that I didn't leave food for Roxie was the morn she got up with Eclampsia. These large litters sure take their toll. Good luck, pm me if you need to talk. |
It was very scary. You are always afraid this will happen and I thought she was going to die before I could get to the vet. I am glad she picked today to do it instead of tomorrow while I was at work even though is cost more today. I dont know what would have happened it I wasnt there and I dont know how long she was convulsing before I noticed it.
I usually feed her before I go to bed and give her lots of Esbilac but she was doing so good that I didnt do it last night and this was the price she had to pay for my laziness. The vet had me get some calcium and I got one of those pill crushers and crushed it and put it in her Esbilac and syringed it in her. She is making me crazy with being to dang picky. She hasnt touched her dog food for two weeks now. I bought all 3 flavors of the Natural Balance in the roll and all of the different kinds of soft dog food Natural Balance has and she wont eat any of eat. I even tried chicken and steak. I syringed some Pet AD down her a while ago and she didnt like that one bit either.
