I just wanted to update everyone on Katie and pups. We went to the vet yesterday for dew claws and tails. They did great except that they were very whiney for the rest of the day. Katie did not like that one bit. She was so nervous and jumpy and the only way I could get her to stay with them was to stay in the bedroom petting her. She kept looking at me when they whined like I was supposed to do something. LOL she really is spoiled bad. Everything was going fine until about 2 a.m. and then she started moving them again.......in the box out of the box.....wanting out every hour or so...I finally put them back in the bed with me at 5 a.m. because I had to have some sleep! The vet said that she was starting to get mastitis in her upper teats cuz we can't get the pups to nurse on those and her sugar level was a little low. Calcium level was fine. She tested all this to see if maybe some of that could be causing her behavior. We are giving her extra vitamins and nutrical and trying to get her to eat more but she just won't. I have tried and tried and can not get any of them to latch on to those upper teats. I just don't know what to do. The vet milked them while we were there and it took 3 of them to hold her to do it. She is just so stressed, and hates going to the vet anyway, although I love my vet and she is great with her! Finally after hours of trying to get puppies on, I milked them a little and left her alone. I guess we will be going back to the vet today? Sorry this is so long but I just had to vent a little. I haven't had much sleep for the past 4 days! I think it is even harder than us having babies! LOL |
