My 21 days old puppies were dewormed yesterday by the vet. I dont know how necessary it was but i trust my vet and he says its rutine for our country (Dom. Rep). That occured at 3 pm yesterday afternoon. I arrived from work at 5pm and all three puppies looked great, full tummies. At around 9pm my biggest puppy was crying, disoriented, his hind legs seemed paralized and his jaw was shut tight. Also his head would turn to one side and also his eyes. I called my vet and we met at the clinic. He pressumed hypoglycemic attack and proceeded to inject the puppy i think with dextrose and amino acids. We stayed for about an hour and puppy showed slight progress. I was given esbilac to feed this puppy through out the night. At about 4am the girl puppy started to show the same symptoms, i gave her some nutri drops and called the vet. This morning vet visited my home and injected both hypoglicemic puppies and also injected some liquid in order to keep them from dehydrating. I have to make sure they eat.
I apologize for the long post and i hope i make sense. It is now 12:30pm and girl puppy has gotten succion back, the other puppy succioned for a while but slowly lost strengh. He does look better. Vet will home visit again this afternoon
can anyone tell me what they think happened and what i can do in order to save my puppies. Only one puppy is nursing normal at this point. I was so happy i made it to three weeks and now this. please help me |
First of all I don't know what deworming med your vet used. However, a hyperglycemic attack could very well have been brought on by the type product used......causing stress, throwing the pup into a hyperglycemic attack. Not saying this is the case, but it sounds like it with both puppies going down.
I'm surprised your vet administered deworming meds without taking a fecal from mom and pups.
By the way, just some advice. Goat's Milk is the closets thing to mother's milk. Esbilac has mineral traces and can cause shunt.
You will have to be ever so watchful with these two, any changes may cause an episode....so watch when vaccines are administered, take precautions. Yes, there is vaccinosis.....where pups can be lost.
Continue with the NutriDrops and try the calf liver recipe posted as a sticky in this section.....Fading Puppy Recipe.
