Thank you Pat!!!!!!! Another poster suggested letting her wear a shirt too and I was hoping you would say it's ok! I jsut got home and on the way I stopped by a consignment shop near my house and bought her some onesies. I'm going to cut a whole in the bottom for her tail and hope it works. I DO plan on having her fixed asap! There is no way I could be a breeder. It's too hard on the heart when something happens.
I'm getting ready to feed the pups. The vet gave me ESBILAC to feed the pups and said to do so every 4 to 6 hours. Would goats milk be better? They gave Bitsy some calcium tablets to give to her every 8 hours for ten days. WHat can I feed her that would be rich in calcium. Is it possible to overdose her on Calcium? Should I give Bitsy goats milk too and cottage cheese?
What would be a sign of relapse? I'd like to let her nurse a couple at a time and then again I don't want to chance it either. It scared me so bad. I may try it later today but I need to know what a relapse looks like when it starts.
When I picked her up they said her calcium level was normal now. She panted some on the way home. She's tired and seems depressed, or maybe it's just me. Her eyes are matted from tears. We've never left her for that long before and she's never stayed away from home since we got her.
I honestly don't have any friends or family close by that can help. I'm hoping my husband will help out when he can.
Thank you all for your advice, thoughts, encouragement and prayers! I cannot express how much it means to me!! |
