Fiona is a great mother. She cleaned her babies and nursed them and refused to leave them for anything. This morning I woke up to the sound of one of the babies crying. Fiona was still nursing the puppies, but she was shaking. I waited about 30 mins until she was done nursing and she didnt' stop so I called the vet. I rushed her to emerencry vet and they tested her her calcium levels and it's too low. If everything goes well they say I amy be able to pick her up tonight around 11 pm.

Should i ask them to keep her longer?

I just got done bottle feeding one of the babies and I got him to pee. the other three wont take to the bottle what can do to get them to start sucking from the bottle? I am planning on taking the babie to the emergency vet when I pick fiona up. But If i can't get them to eat I might take them sooner.

Do I have to worry about the babies not surviving, I'm so scared. They're very healthing looking and fat.

I dont know exactly what I"m suppose to be doing, I dont know what the right question to ask are. Please just give me any advice you can for me to be able to raise these babies.
