Thanks you guys, I mean it from the bottom of my heart!!!! We just finished about thirty minutes ago feeding the pups again. I let Bitsy stay in there this time and she was more calm. She had on her onesie and I let her lick their privates and she was good about it. She seemed content to help. She couldn't stand it in the kitchen with the door shut because she could hear them crying. They are starting to be more eager to get milk from the bottles. We did use the premies this time. We are going to wiegh and tag them somehow before the next feeding. This has all come on so fast. Bitsy is still panting and I'm just now getting ready to take her temp...first time doing that.
ttreatsyorkie:::what do you mean if she hears the pups cry she will get sicker??? Do you mean Bitsy? I don't want to make her sicker! Do you mean it will stress her? She's already panting today. Hasn't gotten much rest either. The pups are quiet now. I'm going to take her temp and lay down with her. she's eaten well today! Still labored breathing though. Could she have a relapse this fast??? Her calcium level was normal they said this morning. |
