So some bad news. Everything was going great until 3a.m. last night, the mother started shaking and couldn't stand up so I immediately knew it was probably something to do with her calcium levels so I rushed her to the emergency vet, come to find out, it was eclampsia.
I have never been so worried! I will never make her go through this again, I vowed to her last night that she would never have to be a mother again!
I was told by the vet that the puppies will no longer be able to nurse that I will have to bottle feed them 4 to 6 ML every 2 hours for the first 2 weeks and then every 4 hours after that. Is this information correct?
I went to Petco and purchased bottles and replacement milk today but the puppies don't seem to want to suck from the bottle.
Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated. |
