Her calcium level instead of being 7.9 was 2.9, I left her overnight and she seems fine now.
My problem now is that my normal vet says that after this treatment that she should be fine and be able to continue nursing. The emergency vet told me not to even have them in the same house together because he doesn't mom's milk to let down. I DON"T KNOW WHAT TO DO????
I don't want to hand feed 6 puppies....I work full time but I don't want to lose my dog either. Anybody ever dealt with this issue and have any advise??
She is on calcium pills and puppy food.
Thanks,

The only advise I have is don't breed her no more. I know your life is busy and you don't want to feed these puppies but at the same time it was a risk you knew you were taking after the trouble from the last pregnacies. I'm not trying to be mean I just don't see where you have any other choice than to just take over the responsibility
