| My little girl Roxy got eclampsia when her pups were 13 days old, they gave her icalcium injections and told me NOT to let her nurse anymore. That was really hard, she became sooo engorged quickly and whined to let the pups nurse. I had a hard time getting Diesel to feed off of a bottle so I let him only nurse on her for 2 min a time twice a day. It helped him and helped relieve Roxy and let her slowly dry up instead of all at once. I fed them either by syringe or bottle every 2-3 hrs. It was very tiring but worth it in the end. I bought every nipple out there possible and finally ended up with the Gerber newborn nipple that was their favorite. I used Just Born formula in the powder form so it was easy for in the middle of the night feedings. I hope this helps a bit. Good luck with everything!! |

| Update on Bailey She kept me up half the night wanting to get in the playpen and nurse her puppies. I let her in for about 15 minutes to satisfy her and would take her back out. She still doesnt want to eat anything so I might go and get some Cesears today and give that a try. I am running out of ideas. She ate some cheese this morning and I crushed up her calcium tablet and put it in the Esbilac to syringe her with but she would only take about 10 mls of it. The vet told me to try and let her rest from feeding the pups for a couple days but to go ahead and let her feed a little so she doesnt get mastitis. I let her feed them for 15 minutes and then take them off. They are so fat now I dont think it will hurt them a bit In 2 1/2 weeks my 2 oz guy now weighes 9 5/8 oz and the rest are between 12 and 13 7/8. They are little piggies. I stayed home from work today to be able to feed them all day and give her a break. Maybe I will find time to take pics since I havent done it since they were a day old. |

| I'm so sorry you are having to go through this... My prayers are with you and your baby. I hope it all works out. I'll be checking back periodically to see if you find something that works. This site is tops for learning things and I love all the way everyone jumps in with great suggestions.

| I am so sorry that Bailey is having such a tough time, but I am impressed by how wonderfully caring you are. I am also glad that the pups are doing so well. Looking forward to any photos you have time to take. It seems like you have your hands full.

| I dont know if this helps but you can give her goats milk and a little dish of chicken with cheese sprinkled on it. Thats what I did as Roxy wouldnt eat anything but that. I feel for you and your girl. 15 monutes at a time to nurse might really be too long for her.. She can easily have a relapse. |

| When my Bailey gets like this, the only thing I can get him to eat is the Gerber Chicken Sticks. He'll eat those even if he won't eat chicken. Have you tried Rebound? Its a liquid supplement for dogs recovering from surgery or just dogs who won't eat and need nutrition. This is the other thing that works as a last resort for my Bailey. He really loves it and it worked wonders for Lily. I get it at the vet's office. I hope you find something that works.

| What about that AI canned food from the vet? If you shake it it will become sort a runny, you can suck it up into a syringe and feed it if you have to. I got canned salmon for my new frenchie mom and mixed it in . ( she wasn't eating) she loved it! |

| No one told me anything about Calcium.... Barb - Sorry to hear Bailey is having such a hard time. Twinkles finally had her pups yesterday.... and isn't the least bit interested in eating, and no one (her vet) said anything about eclampsia, calcium, tums or anything, except that she is to eat puppy food. I have been standing on my head trying to get her to eat. This is my first litter (I am a "virgin"). I thought eclampsia only happened during pregancy - not after. Now I am worried because she won't eat. I don't mean to take away from Bailey's problem, but when I read this, it freaked me out and I realize how little I know..... again! She will eat vanilla ice cream and I will go in and give her some when I finish this post. I am already having feeding problems with one of the pups..... Where can I find more information about the signs of eclampsia? Thanks. I hope Bailey is back to good healt ASAP! Lynn, Twinkles, Olllie and the 3 new little ladies |
