Sorry to hear you are having problems, not all births go as planned.
Sometimes it takes mom awhile to come around and take to the pups after a C-Section.
Take care and watch her until she come fully out from under of the anesthetic effects.
Done the mom have milk ?
If she does you may need to hold her still to allow the pup to nurse.
Also try to get your female to lick the pup by rubbing the pups bottom against her nose.
Just be careful that she doesn’t try to bit the pup.
Also to get her to lick the pup use just a drop of warm water or spit on the pups bottom area ( know it sound gross but it will cause the mom to lick) you can also use a drop of warm water or spit on the teat to get the pup to nurse.
If she doesn’t take to the pup you may have to hand feed the pup.
Keep the pup warm at all times and never feed a chilled pup.
Feed the pup in a natural position (belly down) with a bottle and make sure the hole is not to big to choke or aspirate the pup.
Best to use 1/2 goat milk to ½ distilled water.
Every 2 hours until the belly is plump but not so engorged that the pup may aspirate.
You may also need to use nutria drops if the pup is sluggish or to boost energy to nurse.
Good luck to you !! |
