How long after Calsorb does it take for a tummy to settle? Poor baby, it has made her sick as a dog.

You guys aren't going to believe this one. Remi had her third pup at 1:40 and took a break. She delivered the placenta from the last pup at 5:00 and a water bubble presented. She licked it and broke the water. At 6:00 we still had no puppy so I checked to see if I could feel any part of the pup. I didn't feel the pup in the birth canal but I could feel him moving. I started calling the vet at 6:30 and left a message every half hour. I called everyone I knew and couldn't get ahold of anyone. I gave her 2.5 ml of Calsorb at 6:30 with no results and repeated it at 7:00. At 7:45 I called the emergency clinic which is a good 1 1/2 away. I packed up Remi and the pups and got ready for the long drive. At 8:00 we were at the door and I noticed that she was pushing. I had the hubby watch her while I grabbed last minute items and he yelled that we had a pup. She popped out a 5.2 oz. baby boy. He's a bit sluggish but is trying to nurse. He was covered with yuck but we got him all cleaned up. Remi has been throwing up since about 7:15 and isn't feeling her best but I'm sure she's glad that she's done. After being up all night and being so stressed thinking that I'd lost this puppy I can say, "Thank God that we are done and everyone is safe" Thanks for all your prayers, they worked!

Congrats Tami....glad it all worked out and no trip to the vet.
We have given them Karo to help control the vomiting from the Calsorb, it seems to really help, we stick some Karo in their water for the first week or so too. This helps them have a good appetite, settle their tummies and keep their energy up! Hope she is feeling better!

:bravo: on a job well done Remi & Tami

I got up @ 9 and U should see the bag under my left eye. Big one, that will take a few weeks to cure lol. & I must of slept on a crease in my pillow for I've got a big crease on my right cheek, Justin ask who I'd been fightin' all night. :)
I hope her tummy gets to feeling better for you. :)

Is anyone else having trouble with diahrrea in their mom since giving birth?

Ruby's puppies are a week old tomorrow and she still has very loose stools. The only thing I've added to her diet is Chicken Soup wet food. I'm afraid to give Kopectate as it has aspirin in it, and 4 of the puppies still have to have their tails docked.

What do you suggest, pumpkin?

Sometimes the stress of having pups will cause the mom to have an outbreak of coccidia if she is a carrier of it or if she ate many afterbirths that could cause stomach upsets. To be safe you might want to have her stool checked. The canned pumpkin mixed with a little karo syrup certainly could not hurt.

Sorry I disappeared on you this morning. I fell asleep with Remi for a little while and AOL kicked me off. I got back on just about the time that you left. Thank you so much for keeping vigil with me last night, I really enjoyed your company. I was so worried this morning I almost ran out of here without my teeth brushed and with my hair sticking out all over the place. I still look rough but my teeth are brushed. ;)

If that is the case, some Albon wouldn't hurt, would it? I don't believe it's dangerous to nursing pups. I love Albon...I always keep it on hand.
