 hypocalcemia-low calcium
Does anyone have any experiences with this. My little girl had her first litter on 6/3, 3 pups, mom is 5 pounds. Great pregnancy and delivery. Had her on lots of good food per vet recommendations and the breeder I bought her from. Two weeks into nursing she became hypocalcemic. No seizures, but vet said it was close. he put her on calcium pills and said let her continue to nurse. I did and pups were fully weaned 3 weeks ago, but she became hypocalcemic again 5 days ago. She almost died. It was terrifying. She finally started to improve Sat. Vet said it is highly unusual for her to become hypocalcemic following weaning-but he has seen it before. All other blood work is good and no permanent damage was noted by vet. I think I will get her spayed though. Has anyone had this experience? I would greatly appreciate any feedback. |
