Sure enough she was diagnosed with eclampsia. They put her on an IV to start calcium and also subcutaniously. I picked her up that night and now I have four 2 week old babies I need to bottle feed. Mom is doing great but she is crying for her puppies.
Can you give her pups back to her? Or did the vet say to take her from them? Did the vet give you advise on how to supplement her? I am not an expert on eclampsia, but am very curious about this. I hope everything sorts itself out for you, good thing you noticed when you did. Keep us posted.
