Not congested BUT is working hard to breath. I asked why, she said maybe mama jumped on her and bruised her. She said not to keep her on a heating pad maybe she was to hot. Said antibiotics may hurt more than help since she could get them in her lungs. She also said something about fading puppy syndrome but said our baby doesnt fit the classic bill since she is not crying.
She said to watch her but as long as she does eat she can't help much. Said if she stoped eating all we can do is bottle feed her.
I feel very helpless right now. She seems so still. I keep checking and I am so very afraid I might check and she won't be with me any more.

I am so sorry that your little one is going through this. It is so hard for you to see her going through this. Did your vet check her throat to see if there is nothing blocking the airway? Did the vet try to suction some of the liquid/discharge from her nose thinking that may be part of the breathing issue?

How were the pup's heart sounds? I know you are feeling helpless at this point. I will keep your little one in my thoughts.
