Cole my little poodle is'nt doing well. He only had one more stool and it wasn't bloody but he has doesn't move and will vomit anything that comes near his mouth. He does have a good urine output so he's not dehydrated. We're going to continue fluids at home and pray for the best. One of my best friends is a vet tech at our vets office and is staying with us. If we left him at the vets he'd be alone for almost 12 hours since it's easter. If he dies it won't be alone. Right now he's wrapped in. potty pad sleeping on my chest.
To add to our fun Izzy, who weighs all of 3 pounds, was coming down the stairs off of the sofa and fell off the 2nd step and landed in such a way and broke her foot. Right now it's splinted and she's on pain meds. We go see the orthopedic vet tomorro to find out if she needs surgery.
Usually we have very healthy dogs. I don't know what is happening around here.

I would rather bring the pup home than leave him unattended in a crate at the vets for up to 12 hours. It has been easter and I can't find any vet who'll quarantee the animals will have 24 hour staffing on a holiday weekend. I 'v e been caring for1-2pound babies for the last 28 years.I can certainly handle a 2 pound puppy. The physical care is the easy part. I's the emotional that is hard.

I honestly don't know how many dogs you have .. I can only go by what you have posted which to me sounds overwhelming. I care for multiples, so trust me I know the physical and emotional part of it all. I consider myself very good at taking care of multiple pups ... but I can tell you that I would not be able to care for three litters of sick pups with everyone vomiting and pooping diarrhea all over and dying. They would be in a 24 hour hospital! You say there are no vets that promise 24 hour care. Surely there is a 24 hour hospital somewhere. To just watch a puppy die wrapped up in a potty pad is horrific. He is sick! He needs to be hospitalized!! I would drive for hours on end until I found a hospital....I cannot comprehend this. I really cannot. :(

As to what is happening there....you are overwhelmed and have bitten off more than you can chew. Three litters of puppies is a handful...and on top of it you are dealing with a deadly illness! I get it...I really do. One thing I have learned in rescue is that I cannot save them all. Yes, I have watched pups die in shelters that I had no room for and could not find a rescue to take; but to take in more than I can physically, financially and emotionally care for is not doing anyone any favors.

Please, please get that puppy to someone who can help him. Either that, or take him to a vet and euthanize him...to hold him while he suffers and then dies is just not fair. :(
