5 day old pup has pneumonia and gasping for air! HELP PLEASE!!

[Susan123]

I have heard about using a vaporizer and lightly thmping their chest, to loosen it up. I agree with Mary, sub qing would be best. In your case, I'd see a different vet, maybe they'd provide more help.

[red98vett]

Sorry, I can't offer any help other than the previous replies in this thread. Since it's already 5 A.M. where you are, I hope you are able to get into the vet's first thing. Are you talking about a newborn pup? I wouldn't worry about getting her to eat for a few hours until the vet can see her. You wouldn't want her to aspirate. Just try keeping her warm and draft-free and patting her back to help break loose the congestion until you can get her to a vet.

Best of luck and I hope your baby recovers.

I'm so very sorry to hear she didn't make it. Rest In Peace, Little One.

There's so little we can do for the very young ones. It's heartbreaking to not be able to help them. Know that you did your best....no one can do more. Are there other pups? How are they doing? Hope all is well with them.

This HAS to be a bad joke. Could anyone be this stupid/cruel in reality?

You need to leave these pups with a vet, not your mother.

You can't let your dog 'accidentally' get pregnant and then leave for a week when things aren't going so good. These pups are YOUR responsibility and it's your responsibility to keep them ALIVE.

Hopefully, you have figured out you are not cut out for breeding and will have your females spayed.

I am sorry you lost the pups.
