The pup may have got too much fluid in its lungs or like you said, it was just not developed enough and in that case there was probably not much you could do. We always have Nutri-drops on hand when our pups are delivered and if we have a pup that is struggling we give them 1 drop. Sometimes that will really help.
I do pray your momma and babies do well. |
I suctioned his mouth and nose the best I could, but the bulb suction that I have was not small enough for his nose so I do not know if that did any good. And I did try the swinging method but I do not know if I did it right or if there was just nothing I could do to help him. I feel like there was more I should have done but I am not sure what. I am so upset with the on-call vet right now. He does not answer calls after 10pm but we called him multiple times starting at 8:30 so I just don't understand why he was not answering. I feel that maybe something could have been done even if he was not developed enough if we had gotten him into the vet. I will write down the Nutri-drops for next time, Thank you for all your suggestions.
