Re: Animal lovers...from Pam...to all!

[Guest guest]

Thank you all for your prayers and words of advice. I might try the

glove thing Cricket, it just might work! I have had the pups and mom

at the vet twice now. $250 later...mom got fluids, and a shot of

oxytocin to try to get her milk to start, and to possibly push out

something they felt was inside of her. I never saw anything come

out, but my daughter was feeding them at 3am and noticed blood around

her mouth. She may have had an undeveloped pup in there?? She acted

crazy and kept trying to nest everywhere in the house frantically.

She's much better now that I moved her and her box to a spare bedroom

out of the way of house traffic.

She refuses to eat her dog food. She will eat cooked chicken and

drinks some of the puppy formula. She will not drink water at all!

I've tried everything the vet told me and then some.

If we could just get her milk to come in all the way, everything

would be fine. She has some, but the 3 bigger pups take all 6

nipples and leave the tiny one to nothing. She's the one that gets

the most formula. I'm going to try to feed the bigger ones formula

and get her on her momma.

shew...i'm wiped out............

love you all!
