Glad to hear he made it through the night. Did the vet give you any advice on the sub-q amount? I've never sub-q'ed anything other than a very young one. Generally, with a pup old enough to be weaned, it's more a matter of getting food in them rather than treating them for dehydration, unless they're showing obvious signs of it. If your litter has 4 or more pups, you may want to separate them into 2 x-pens. You could put the more aggressive eaters in one pen and the slower eaters in the other. This will help ensure that all the pups have a chance to get their fill. Also, doing it this way, it's easier to keep an eye on each individual pup. I would still feed the one that had the episode separately (and supplement with Nutri-Cal) for a few days and keep a close eye on him until he has well recovered. Best of luck. This can be a vulnerable time for pups. |
