| I just want to comment that as a breeder I occasional will see a temperature spike after a momma has pups. I also monitor the temperature closely. I have learned to keep amoxicillin on hand and if a mommas temperature goes over 102.5 I immediately give the amoxicillin. In every case since I have started doing this the temperature will fall back to normal. The amoxicillin will also help if the momma starts getting a little mastitis. One thing that concerns me is the vet put the momma on Clavamox and Rimadyl. What I have read is that they should not be given to nursing mommas. Hopefully the pups are being bottle fed since the mom is on medication. My vet always recommends amoxicillin since it does not effect nursing pups.

| Her temp is down to 101.6 today and there seems to be less blood/mucus coming out. Today is day 4 and I do not remember her having much discharge before, however, I know some can last a while. I have not noticed an odor and she does not seem to be panting as much. Still breathing a little more shallow than I would like. She is also eating and drinking. Pups are doing great. I am still concerned that she could have a possible infection. Something was on the xray and I never did see a placenta or any contractions from the shot. Wonder if it could be fluid/infection. The pups get their tails clipped on Monday, so if she continues to improve I will wait and bring her in then. Thank u so much for asking. She is so precious and my two daughters and I love raising yorkie puppies, but we definitely do not want to lose her. I am keeping a close eye on her. Thanks for checking! If anyone else has any input I would love to hear. |

| I am so glad the the momma is doing better. It is a very good sign that she is eating and drinking well. I am not sure what the side effects of those drugs are on the pups. It would not hurt to ask the vet. If mom is running a normal temperature I would not think she would still need any pain medicine. I would keep her on an antibiotic but ask the vet if he feels it is okay to let the pups nurse. If the pups are gaining and content then perhaps it will be okay. Please keep us posted on how she is doing.

| Normal temp, eating well...no foul odor to the discharge...I think she will be fine...just watch her. Xray are tricky things...and they are only as accurate as the person reading them..and I am not good at it..my daughter had a chest xray as a child..I saw a big, round dark area and freaked out...Dr said it was her heart. |

| Thank you to all who replied over the weekend. This was my first time to post on YorkieTalk and I am so happy to report that my Bella is doing great! She no longer has any fever and seems very healthy. I did take her back in on Monday just to have her checked and the vet said she looked great. Also did an ultrasound...looked fine. Thank you God! Her puppies are so fat and healthy and now have had their tails docked. I guess my lesson to all who care to know is to go ahead and take them in for the clean out shot.As soon as possible! I do believe it helped, although I never did notice anything pass, like a retained placenta, but there definitely was fluid, which is still draining. Thankfully no odor and it seems to be drying up. Anyway, thanks so much to all who kept in touch with me, as I was very concerned, and as always, encountered an emergency after hours and on the weekend. Just remember too, you can always call the emergency number and they can help you decide when to load up your baby and head to the ER. Anyway, thanks again! Jennifer |
