Well I am back from the vet. Everyone at the vet thought she felt really worm. So they took her temp twice and she was normal. He took an x-ray of her and did not see anything but some pockets of air. He did not really give me a diagnosis. He is just gonna treat her for everything it could be is what he said. He gave me an anti-biotic, she got a shot of pain releaver, gave me 4days worth of pain meds and told me to give her a tum a day. I got back a while ago. But when I got back the pups were really cold. We almost lost the littlest one. She was pretty much lifeless. She was barley moving, not crying and very very cold. I think she is gonna be fine now. It took me a long time before I could get her to latch on. I think she was just to weak to even eat. I eventually forced it in her mouth. So between mothers warm milk and mother body heat brought her back. How long is it for this critical stage? When can I relax and know the puppies will be alive the next morning? I am just so stressed. I am trying my hardest to keep them all healthy. Thank you everyone for responding and caring about Amber. I am sooo glad I went to the vet hopefully my little girl will feel better soon. |
The first 72 hours are the most critical.
It's good to hear that her Calcium levels were ok. Did he give her a POP shot? Do the pudding thing at least once a day for the next week. I actually gave it to my Go-Go till she weaned the puppies. Amber whelped a large litter, so, I'm sure you're going to be watching her like a hawk. If you see her legs start to stiffen as she walks and get wobbly, along with the panting, fever, etc. These are things you watch for. Next time take the puppies with you.
