Just a little update to this.
2 weeks after Diva's delivery, my 13 year old daughter woke up at midnight to use the bathroom and found Diva laying on the floor in the hall shaking, drooling, and stiff legged. She woke me and I knew immediately it was eclampsia. So I called our vet who rushed to meet me at his office and administered IV calcium and fluids. Thank God Diva pulled through and is doing great now, but we almost lost her that night. Now I'm bottle feeding the 3 babies and watching Diva like a hawk as her milk dries up.
I'm telling you from experience that breeding these small fragile dogs, more often than not ends in heart ache.
Its a lot to think about. |
