I am so glad the puppies are doing better. Steve, I am an experienced breeder (somewhat0 and I just two weeks ago went thru this and ended up losing two of my five. You should not feel bad at all. You have done everything you knew to do andd asked for help. Maybe you can get some sleep now while Deb has the puppies. They are in good hands. I went three days without ever taking my clothes off or showering or anything with mine. I was syringe feeding every hour. Now, two weeks later, the remaining three are a success story. They are eating well and gaining fast. I think these are the biggest puppies I have ever had, but it has taken time to get there and I almost lost my mama dog twice the day of her C-section from sseizures and the days right before it, she couldn't even get up or walk. Just laid and rattled in her breathing. I had to finally take her in and get the babies out. Mine are about a week behind in development but the way they are gaining, they will bee just fine. You are an amazing person and it has been a pleasure to help you. Keep us updated. |
