So many things to watch for.....hormonal imbalances....eclampsia, mastitis.....
My Go-Go on her last litter went down on me when the pups were a week old.....Ran her ER.....they diagnosed eclampsia.....administered IV fluids and Calcium....next day vomiting.....ran her to Vet's, everything normal with her blood count......normal temp, etc. but, dehydrated, and slightly anemic....kept her and administered IV fluids, all day long.. during the day she developed a foul odor......more blood, sonogram, you name it they did it.....administered mega doses of antibiotics....after 3 days finally stabilized her.....I asked for a spay at that time, they had run a coagulation test and her count was low, so she would have bled to death on the table. Brought her home with a month supply of mega doses of antibiotics... 2 months later when she went in for her spay (5 yrs old and last litter) they found that her horn was ripped........sonogram or x-rays couldn't reveal it.
