Sick 3 1/2 Week Old Puppy! Ok, what do you all think??!! We have our litter of four puppies at 3 1/2 weeks of age. One little girl is foaming (trying to throw up) and will not nurse even when I take just her and put the mothers teat right up to her face. The puppy is shaking like she is cold and that is ON their heating pad. All other puppies seem 100% and are playing. What do you think? I have a call in the emergency vet, but it takes a while for them to call back after hours. Give your thoughts PLEASE! |
I'm sorry to hear about your baby :( breaks my heart that she is not feeling well. I don't know about puppies that small, but is it safe to give her nutrical to make sure she doesn't crash? I'm sure someone else has bettter advice. Please keep us posted. I will keep your baby in my thoughts. |
sick pup The vet is your best friend right now. Did you look at her palate for a cleft? Foam puzzles me..they do that with an upset stomach....please let us know what is going on..best wishes. |
Ok, well two out of four are trying to throw up now. The vet called us back and stated that we really should NOT bring them in to her. She said that the Mother may have ate something and that is upsetting the puppies little tummies. No outside dogs have came over and the Mother has nothing wrong with her teats so this could very well be the problem. She said that to drive them to her and back home tonight could actually be worse on them than just leaving them alone. So... we are to keep them on their heating pad and watch them. Only if they get worse are we to then to bring them in. She said not to try to feed them anything as this may upset the tummies even more. So at least we know that much even though that will not help relieve my mind! I will be up off and on all night! The joys of breeding...you really have to love it to make it all worth it and I do!! :love: |
[QUOTE=YorkieRose]The vet is your best friend right now. Did you look at her palate for a cleft?QUOTE] Yes, we checked when they were born and they were also all vet checked when they got tails docked/dew claws removed. Thank you for your help! |
did you feed your mom anything different you hadnet fed her before? did you perhaps bathe her or use any different in their bed or on her...?? |

Im so sorry that you little pup is not feeling well. I will have you in my prayers. Please keep us posted. |
I had a 3 week old pup that got sick on me. In fact, she almost died. I gave her just a bit of nutrical to hold her over till I could get her to a vet. He gave her a shot to rehydrate her and told me to give her pedialyte every 4 hours to rehydrate her. I hope that she pulls through. Keep us updated. :( |
pedialyte is more for diarrhea but will help with dehydration if you syringe feed it, I would make sure use a bit of nutra drops on the one foaming I would think that is due to stress or heat...so hard to guess tho I would get them to the vet in the am if this continues keep us posted |
So Sad Sorry to hear about this incident. Iam sure with all the care and love you provide for your pups they willbe just fine and hopefully this is onlya false alarm. Best of wishes and luck. :wavey: :littleang |
This AM everyone is doing very well. So far so good! They are all trying to play so that is a good sign. I will keep checking them though :D |
i have no idea what to tell you but i hope your babies are doing better soon. i will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. let us know how they are doing in a little while! edit:I am SO glad they are doing better!!!! just keep an eye on them! |
pups Good to hear they are better...sounds like a tummy upset..I have crushed TUMS and put a wee dab on the tongue of pups with colic. |
I\'m glad they are better today I would try to see if mamma is pottying them well. If they get backed up they might get a belly ache. |
