I am just begining to think her body cant even handle one puppy right now. They are out of the office today, although I did leave a message with my vet to call me asap. The er here has odd hours as well this weekend.
I think she ( Bridget) is ok, she is not showing the signs she did the last two times she seriously crashed, but the jitters I think is the first thing to notice.
The babies look great they are eating well and gaining, I am feeding every 2.5- 3 hours now, as they demand it.  I on the other hand am hardly sleeping at all. I was hoping Bridget would pull through, but I don't think so. So odd to she did great her first litter, but they said with her onset being this bad, she is very likely to do this in the future, so I will be spaying her as soon as this is finished. Really sad to her babies are some of the prettest here by far, and have great features. One was sent to live in Russia last time with my brothers mother in law ( she flew here to get him) OMG!!! I wish I had kept him for show, he is so amazing! Great top line and everything. I am so sad, but do not want to risk her health, had I known this would have happened I do not think I would have breed her again. |
I am sorry you are still having problems. If you don't have a onesie you can also cut off part of a nylon stocking and put it over the mom's tummy to help prevent nursing. That was she can still diaper them and be with them.
I can't wait to see pictures of your pups. It sounds like she is a really nice dam. Too bad she is having such problems. I know you must be exhausted. Is there anyone there to help you?
