I am so so sorry that you lost your little angel. I feel at a loss for words. I pray that you will have peace of mind that you tried to get help for her but there just wasn't time. God be with you.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I cried too. This just tears me up. It is of the utmost importance that moms get plenty of calcium while they are nursing puppies. For future references you should always have a product called Cal-sorb on hand....that simple tube of fast acting calcium would have saved your babies life. I am so so sorry. I pray the puppies will be okay.

There are two girls and two boys. They are very strong. Once I am able to control the blubbering....I will let my vet know what has happened. I guess that I will need some sort of formula? I tried to let them eat thined out canned puppy food just yesterday. It didn't go to well....but they were cute playing in it.

My Gracci was on a Rx called Osteoform. I will not ever do the puppy thing again. However, I will continue to have my furbabies. Is that Cal-sorb anything that I would need for the babies?

No the puppies do not need the Cal-sorb it is just a fast acting calcium that breeders use during the delivery of the pups and for emergencies if the mom starts showing signs of eclampsia. How much of the Osteoform were you giving her. I always use Doc Roy's Health Bones and I give 1/2 tab in morning and 1/2 tab at bedtime. I always make sure the mom eat a nice meal right before bedtime also. I know you feel terrible about what happened but I know these things can happen. The first Yorkie litter we had about 10 1/2 years ago, the mom got eclampsia and luckily we got her to the vet in time. Since, I have had a couple of episodes with it but I always give them the Cal-sorb and they would pull right out of it. The last couple of years I have had no problems since I have started making sure they eat 3 good meals a day and take their calcium.

For your puppies. You need to get a milk replacement right away. They are old enough where, with a little encouragement, they should start licking out of a bowl. What dry food are you feeding? You need a good quality dry puppy food like Chicken Soup or Solid Gold Wee Bits. Take the dry food, put it in a blender and grind it until it is like corn meal. You can leave a small bowl of this out for the puppies to starting eating. They will start out by just licking up a little of it. Usually I start that when my pups are 4 weeks but if yours are up and walking around then they will find it. You will need to feed the pups the milk formula every 4 or 5 hours, depending on how much they drink at one setting. They will let you know when they are hungry. Once they are eating the dry food you can take a little canned Pedigree Lamb and Rice puppy food and mix a little with some the ground up dry food twice a day.

I also need to mention that it will be important to watch the babies for constipation. A little karo syrup in water will usually keep them from getting constipated. It would be good too if you need help with the puppies to start a new thread under 'Breeder Talk'. I know this is so hard on you but you can do this, your little babies are depending on you now. Be strong. I will be praying for you and those little ones.
