3 day old puppy and anxious mom my dog just had a baby 3 days ago through a c-section. The first day, she didn't even care for the baby. It almost seemed like she hated it. The next day, yesterday, she got more curious about it and by the end of the day was nursing him, cleaning him, and sleeping with him. Very protective. She is a 2 year old teacup yorkie and this is her first litter. She only had a one baby. Today she was even more in love this puppy. She wouldnt leave it side and watched its every move...still nursing and still cleaning. However, tonight she started acting very restless and panting a lot. I gave her water and she drank a lot and i turned off the heating pad but she still is panting and still seems restless.....anyone have any ideas why? thank you :) |
she might be low on calcium, are you giving her whelping puding? do you have any calcium suplements at home? she should be getting half a tab of a calcium supplement, about 5 small meals a day, a snack of a scrambled egg. you need to prevent eclamsia, is a calcium deficiency when moms are nursing and is very bad.. if you have any questions ask.. eclamsia is something you don't hesitate to prevent. hugs, |

A Teacup? how big is she? |
My female had 7 puppies 4 weeks ago. she had the same symptoms you have described She began panting and then collapsed we called the vet immediantly and he seen her right away thank the lord she is okay The vet put her on a calcium tablet twice a day and a antibiotic These little mothers are so fragile You need to make sure she is eating well I give lexi scrambled eggs and cottage cheese she loves it. I hope your girl and her little one are doing well and congratulations....... |
