LOL Sylvan, I wished I knew this sooner. Maybe that's why he thinks she's got Pancreatitis, that's all she would eat. Maybe it was starting something.

I will call another vet and see if I can get in. Vets are like drs and all have different experiences so maybe another will know what's going on.

I don't think she has a uterine infection he ran a blood panel and did a fecal test and yes, he pushed and proded her all over the place. Yes, she's urinating ok and reasonably often for the shape she's in.

She's still not eating but I am force feeding her with the syringe. She does drink water but I think the babies are hungry even tho they are nursing. I don't think she's got much milk left. She is not listless or as weak as you might expect. I have the babies in a shallow tote and she hops in and out without a problem.

Everyone: do you think I should take the babies away from her and just feed them formula? Do you think it would help or would it distress her too much? She doesn't mind me messing around with them. I haven't even docked their tails or done their dewclaws to keep from distressing her more.

There's a breeders board a little ways down here, you should ask your last question there for more responses. They're awesome here, and should be able to help you. Prayers continuing for your Mama doggie and her babes

Just wanted to see how momma and babies are doing today. Is momma eating yet? Please keep us posted. My little Willow says that sometimes she likes baby chicken food put on her food and that gets her appetite going. Sometimes we give her nutri-cal so she doesn't get hypoglycemic. Good luck.

Lady is not doing very well at all. Amber had her babies today and took Lady's babies with no problem.

Lady went to the vet and the vet said he's never seen this happen. Her belly was concave and now bloated. He drew some fluid and says it looks pussy. He thinks she has a rupture of her colon or her uterus. She is going in for an operation tomorrow. I don't know if he will have to remove her uterus or not. I wasn't able to go, I was delivering puppies. My husband took her in so there are questions still to be asked. He drew some blood and they said her temp was 103.

I am still forcing food, water and medicine. I don't care if they take out her uterus but I'm so worried about her.

OMG I hope all works out I will keep her in my prayers. Please keep us updated when you can looks like you are very busy.

Oh, I am so sorry Lady is not doing well and has to have surgery. You do have your hands full right now. Keep us posted. My prayers are with you and your family.

Thank you, I appreciate your prayers. I have seen what internet prayers can do. Sylvia

Lady of Yorkies · 12-29-2006, 12:36 AM

I know I am repeating some of what I already said but I am trying to make sure I gave all the information. LOL

Lady went back to the vet today. Yesterday her abdomen started to swell. The vet doesn't know what this is but suspects she might have a ruptured colon or uterus. He drew some fluid from her abdomen and said it looked pussy. He sent her home so I could take care of her tonight. They don't have anyone staying over night. Tomorrow she goes in for an operation to see if he can find out what is causing the problems. I am still forcing her to eat and take the medicine but she drinks water on her own.

Amber had babies today, a girl and 2 boys. I took Lady's boys and put them in with Amber's babies, she accepted them readily. They lost weight back to their birth weights and so are only an ounce bigger than Amber's babies. Lady's babies are 8 days old and even tho they have lost weight rather than gaining they are healthy and strong. They are so strong I am concerned about the new borns getting their milk so I will be watching their weights carefully. The vet suggested I put them with Amber's babies before he knew I did it, he tried to express milk from each of Lady's breasts and got none.

Sorry, I don't know what happened. Could a moderator remove the last 3 messages from me? Including this one? Thanks, Sylvia

OMG, how is she doing? What surgery did they have to perform? I pray she is going to be ok. Please let us know. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

LunasMomma · 12-29-2006, 04:35 PM

Oh my gosh

I hope that Lady will be okay, thank goodness her pups have their foster Mom.

You must be a wreck

Prayers going up for all of you!

Lady of Yorkies · 12-29-2006, 07:05 PM

Ok, we have been busy today but Lady is home. They did laser surgery and had to remove her uterus. She had a rupture down near her vagina. She seems to be in pain, she doesn't move much. They said to keep giving her the antibiotics for the full 14 days and if it isn't enough they will get her some more. They said to give her food and water but that she probably won't eat tonight and if she doesn't eat tomorrow to call them.

LunasMomma · 12-29-2006, 07:08 PM

I wish Lady a speedy recovery

You're a good Mommy, you got her to the doctor and saved her life!

Keep us posted when you can, whew, you've been busy

Your family continues to be in my prayers and Lady for a speedy recovery!
