I wish that I had sent Cupcake as well because she now acts very weak. She feels that this all started with the medication that was given to Livi (that shouldn't have been prescribed in the first place)  The problem is, the puppies are having side effects from the pill...causing bloated gassy tummies. The puppies do not have the energy to latch. However, Cadbury is doing better with eating....Cupcake is having such a tough time. So far, Cinnamon seems fine. I am going to keep trying to get Cupcake to latch onto the bottle tonight. Oh,that's another thing....Livi isn't suppose to nurse for 36 hours...just to give the pill time to get out of her system. The vet said that this is probably overkill on the time-frame, but she wants to be safe. Any advice on Livi's milk since she can't nurse....are we going to lose it now? Oh, and guess what....not only should they never have given Livi that medication, but the vet tonight said that the dosage was also high (it was 250mg for the day....so Livi's pill this morning was 125). *sigh*
Anyone want to place a bet on whether or not I will ever breed again?  |
Aww poor baby, my Stella was just on Flagyl for 10 days for a diarrhea issue, and she was given 1/4 of a 125 mg pill twice a day...so seems like Livi might've been getting too much medication-maybe that could've made her feel like not eating too, I know even with the amount Stella was on she didn't feel like eating. I hope she's feeling better and the pups continue to grow and stay healthy for you!
