| Wow, this has got to be driving her absolutely crazy trying to figure this all out...is this her first litter? If not, has she ever had any problems like this before. Her pups sounds very small for their age...if the mom wasn't tiny herself. Wishing a miracle turnaround for her babies!!! |

| This sounds just like what happened to my puppies!! I lost three in total!! Please please have them checked for giardia and coccidea...take multi fecal samples in and they will mix them all together and test it. If it comes up negative - I would get a second opinion. We had our pups die from this and the vet checked and checked...had bad snap tests and told us some puppies are just meant to die and there was nothing we could do. They had this for a month before I read up on everything and went for a second opinion!! Please tell her to get this checked or go to a diff vet!!! Give puppies kyro syrup in the water and in their mouths several times a day - every few hours if needed. If it's a really bad case of coccidea it will lower the blood sugar so fast that the nutrical can't even help. Giardia causes them to stop eating. We force fed one of ours for two months until we could get her to eat on her own. When ours were really bad like it sounds like hers are now we had to tube feed ever few hours and give the kryo syrup. Kryo syrup is not something I would usually rather use over nutrical, but in this case you need to. Don't let the vet tell you that the pups are too small like ours did- there should never be a litter all go down just because they are small. Let me know and feel free to PM me if you have any questions!! We got this from bringing a dog into our home (the test were bad at our vet) so they were allowed in with our dogs. Our puppies never go outside, but really the parents can get this from just going outside OR it even can be brought inside on your feet!

| I tried this mix with my puppies to try to get them to start eating solid food (weaning) crushed up puppyfood, First Born replacement milk, with a dash of Nutrical....they loved it! I know they are already weaned, but this mix is super nutricious and might be appealing to them. Wishing you good luck!!

| I forgot to say that sometimes these won't show up and needs to be retested. When one of ours went to the ER vet and actually died - everything was negative. If they go down too far they don't drop.

I will tell her all this. Thanks a million as I don't know if they checked the stool or not. I know she said she might try the tube feeding on the one as the others she said seem to be doing better. | |

| Update...... This morning she said the two are doing great and the little girl has picked up slightly but not enough. She is going back to the vet today to see if they will check for giardia and was told by Wreene4. Lets hope they figure something out. As I can only imagine getting up every 2 or 3 hours to feed them has to be exhausting. |

| I wanted to update everyone and thank all for their advise. But she lost the little girl this morning. The two boys are doing great and eating more and more on their own. I guess it just wasn't meant to be for the little girl. Please keep my friend in your prayers and pray the others make it ok. THANKS |

| Wanted to tell everyone thanks for all the advise and prayers. The two boys are thriving and doing great and I hope and pray they keep doing great. She is certainly heart broken over loosing the little girl and the vets sent the body off for tests. I hope they find a reason because a reason is better than not knowing anything. |
