No, unfortunately I was advised not to by the vet and spoke with a few other breeders who advised also not to. I did some research and there is a video I watched where a vet is treating a Yorkie with it. This is exactly how my Amelia looked . After watching the video, it looks like the vet was encouraging her to go back to her puppies.

Amelia's calcium level when I took her in was 0.64. When I picked up up that night she was 1.17. The follow up is 200 mg. of regular strength tums given 1/2 tum every 8 hours and follow up with another calcium check in a week.
