I wish we had tried the antibiotic before the expensive blood tests etc, but loosing a litter and/or a mom isn't worth waiting on. |
Great,... problem solved...what antibiotic did the vet put her on....surely, the vet is clear on what antibiotics can be given during pregnancy.....what was the diagnosis based on, since everything came back normal??? I get real queesy throwing antibiotics at pregnant dogs, based solely on a guess....
Glad baby momma is feeling better....
As far as lack of responses....perhaps no one felt really comfortable "treading into those waters", by trying to second guess what may be happening with a pregnant Yorkie. No harm done, no foul....they may have wanted to be sure you went to the vet with this pregnant momma, rather than settle for guesses about illness made over the internet, on a pregnant dog. And it looks like maybe you would have settled for guesses, and throwing antibiotics at an unknown, definite diagnosis, to avoid "expensive blood tests", only following up if no improvmnt was seen.......that is too great a risk to take on a pregnant dog. Chalk it up to the cost of doing business.
