| Eclampsia My proud momma of six adorable puppies almost died Saturday.... the vet says she has eclampsia and that we can only let the pups nurse once a day and only for a short period then or it will kill momma.... so we are helping her out by bottle feeding.... the puppies are slow to take to the bottle... at least a couple of them are... any suggestions? |

| I have no suggestions but you may want to post this in the breeder section. They should have more info about taking care of mama and babies. Good luck and wishing you the best.

| I had the same thing happen about two years ago, we hand fed three puppies and put three on the mom for about 5 minutes, every two hours we exchanged the pups, it was a hard thing to do but we saved all 6 pups. I had the mom spayed. She had a calcium i.v. and special tablets. sorry to hear you had this happen.
