I suctioned and suctions, i swung, I rubbed over and over, and I did mouth to mouth. I did this repeatedly for over an hour and I lost her.
What am I missing? What could I have done different?
I had 1 pup get stuck by her head and I finally had to go in and rotate her. And got her out. she was gasping and I did the same on her but she came out of it.
I had another come gasping too. This was the last one born (all were breech but 1) breech with lots of fluids. I got her to come around too. But I had to work on them for a bit.
What could I have done different? what causes the gasping?
I never had them gasp like this so I'm hoping someone can give me some insight and possibly tell me what I can do if this happens again.
Thanks for reading. |
Breny,
There is a couple of things: I don't know if your vet will prescribe it but it's Dopram V......great from bringing them around. The one thing I do when they're born is administer a small drop of NutriDrops on my finger and rub it on their gums. It's absorbed quickly and somehow gives them the extra ump to help them. But the Dopram V I highly recommend
