eclampsia in dogs is different than humans. in people it is related to blood preasure while the woman is pregnant. In dogs it has to do with the amount of calcium in the dogs system after welping. When the bitch is nursing she puts a lot of the calcium in her body into her milk, if the puppies are taking too much of that calcium out of her system then her system starts to shut down bc muscle need the calcium to function. It can be very, very serious. It can lead to irrithmea and death. It can also be called hypercalcimic.
