I am happy that your girl managed to deliver the babies without any complications but I think the issue with the PDSA is something you should look into. The PDSA are there for people who cannot afford vet care or are recieving some sort of benefit, I find it very unfair that they pick and choose what kind of care animals receive.
Good luck with the babies and please post pictures of them and mommy when you get a chance. |
what i have noticed in the past, is that unless you know how the pdsa works, no a lot about the species you are taking in, and can tell them almost exactly whats wrong, they do tend to try and pan you off... i'm not pdsa bashing, they are a great organisation, but when i took my friends rottie with Severe mastitis, they sent her and her owner home 3 times to get different paperwork (she took her to the er vet 1st because she panicked. after being transfered to the pdsa clinic, she was sent home to get the paperwork to prove she qualified, and forgot 1 letter, was sent home to get it, left the otheres there because they had aslready been checked, but was then sent back Again to get the 1st lot!) in this amount of time they wouldnt treat the dog, and even though she isnt a vocal dog, you could see the pain in her eyes- and she was away from her 9 pups.
she also got a lecture for 'breeding' her dog as so many are in shelters; she was rehomed from a shelter - pregnant!
there was also some bad and a little concerning advise given, so when possible, always double check with your usual vet.
so glad momma and babies are fine; i bet they are all adorable! pictures would be awesome!
