I have had it twice in my girls..Pinkie 1 and then Peach.
Both had litters after and did not get it again...but I supplimented the pups with extra feedings. Peaches temp was 107 when she had it..the vet put her in cold water when we got there...the look they get on their faces is beyond panic..the month is pulled back and they are panting for air..a very tight grimace. They can not stand, they fall over..then the vet gives an injection of calcuim and suddenly it is like it never happened.
Of all the things that can go wrong in breeding dogs..
esclampsia is the worst experience for the breeder IMO and the simplest to correct for the dog. By the time they get home from the vet they are back to normal and the breeder needs medical care. If I had a bad heart I could not do this...
