Just some thoughts in case there is a next time, which I hope you're not faced with again.. I did read that you said her belly was red and litter mate's was pink? Real Red bellies usually mean they're septic. Give 3 or 4 drops which is about 1/10 cc of Amoxi twice a day for 3-5 days will clear that up.. usually within 24 hours but continue for 3-5 days.
Blood in the stool could mean septic or just something wrong with the digestive tract, which can't be helped or over fed, or fed while too cold. They can't digest the milk if their body is chilled. I use a 125 heat bulb with hood and place it 2-3 feet above the babies, depending on how cool the room is and ventilation around the bed and I also place the lamp to one side of the bed to allow them to crawl away from the heat if needed. Put your hand where the puppies would be under the lamp and it should not burn, but be pleasantly warm.
It is really difficult to save a "crier", sometimes there is something wrong that we just can't fix.
I'd be looking for a Vet that cares as much as we do!
Hugs and Good Luck! | Deb good post and again I learn something from you... anne |
