Kas, you're literally playing with the life of your girl. As Mardelin said, her responding to calcium shows she's pre-eclamptic. She should have been at the vet's for assessment and to have a blood test to check her blood calcium, at the least.
For your information, Bailey is not ok. She merely responded positively to calcium, which, in itself, shows a problem exists. She will be prone to tiring out during whelp and having uterine inertia, which is absolutely life threatening to both her and the pups.
You mentioned not being able to drive yourself to the vet. I don't know your situation, but you best have someone available from here on out to take you to the vet with her at a moment's notice. Actually, though it's now after-hours, she should be seen by a vet now. You need to know her exact condition as I doubt this pregnancy will progress normally.
An experienced breeder would have already been at the vet's and would not take a wait-and-see attitude. With your obvious lack of experience, how can you justify what you are doing? You are in no position to assess distress in your girl and further distress is likely as you have already seen things are not going normally.
You are in over your head and have already been given good advice. It's your choice to heed it or not. Bailey's well-being and that of her pups is 100% your responsibility and your actions, or inaction, will determine the outcome. |
