I know Betty has a heating pad and I had her set it up last night. It's one of those that isn't adjustable and I have no idea how hot they get. I did tell her to not put the pups directly on the surface of it but to use a towel or something between the pad and pups.
It's so hard to know exactly what's going on when you're not there in person.
Will be checking back for an update....praying things go well in the meantime. |
From my premature litter last August, I had one that dehydrated very fast. I sub-Q'd nothing worked, I lost the pup. It's my guess that with this long drawn out whelp the pup dehydrated during the whelping process. She mentioned a yellowish fluid in it's mouth and the tongue hanging out. From what she described, I don't think the pup was right.
