Eegee is a good mom. There were dark GR spots on her blanket this am so I am not as concerned regarding placentas. I will be watching for any signs of infection w Eegee. Our vet is swamped & I'm still waiting for a call back. Should I insist on oxycotin shot or should I now just wait & watch for any complications. I used to give oxycotin to my sheep when they were lambing. Do any breeders automatically give it to their bitches after whelping?
For Nutri Drops I saw .01 cc. Does weight of the pups change the dose?
Thanks for the info |
Sorry to be nosey... i would not advice to give oxytocin by your own. Small breeds are very different from larger animals. They can have an uterine rupture due to a poor administered Oxy shot. You do not want to risk that with a young free whelper... or with any dog right. So many complications can arise from it.
By reading your post, i would still go to the vets and have the oxy shot done by them, it will also help with the milk flow a lot. that is what i would do, if my opinion was to be counted. You do what you decide it is in the best interest of your dog.
Blessings.
