We had a scary day yesterday.
Isabella who is a mommy to a litter of 4 ,3 week old pups ,started showing the signs of eclampsia.Luckily I was home with her and noticed almost immediatly the tell tale signs of trembling ,panting something was different you could tell right away.After giving her some tums,puppy cal and food every 15 minutes within the hour she was fine .A call to the vet assured me she was stable but the minute symptoms return bring her in .It sure did scare me though and I am wrestling with the idea of weaning the pups now.They have not fed from mom from almost 24 hours now.
They have been doing great with puppy milk and puppy food gruel every four hours since yesterday.
Any breeders have a case like this and if so did you end up weaning the pups right away?
