IV Calcium is very dangerous. I found that out recently when with my last litter in October my girl went down a week after her whelp. And wouldn't you know on a Sunday evening. I ran her to emergency and they ran blood tests and found she was a bit dehydrated, calcium levels a bit low and anemic. So, the emergency vet diagnosed her with Eclampsia and administered the IV. She had a very allergic reaction to it. Since she wasn't much better in the morning I took her to the vets, she wasn't eclamptic. What was revealed at the time of her spay was that her horn had ripped during whelping.
