sick newborn pup won't nurse, please help I know this is a yorkie blog, but you all seem so great I thougth i would ask here for help. My Shih Tzu had 3 pups on SAturday, they are all doing well and are 3 days old except the first one who can't suck from the mom, seems to weak, I fed her with a bottle last night and took to vet first thing this morning, I thought vet would try to tube feed but vet said puppy was too sleepy.
Vet says sugar levels in pup are fine but pup has only 50% chance of surviving, she says I must continue to bottle feed every two hrs when I pick up pup. Should she not tube feed the pup? any one ever have this happen and have the puppy live? I've been praying so hard and researching everything I can. How can i save my baby?
Thank you so much 415-999-8720 |
