I have deleted all my posts in this thread.
There was no conclusion as to the cause of the stiff pups, yet despite that, the conclusion of the thread was "hypoglycaemia".
This thread does not prove these pups had hypoglycaemia - in fact, it proves the opposite. Although some pups probably died of hypoglycaemia, most did not.
I will not be involved with anything incorrect, or leading to incorrect conclusions. Acccordingly I have deleted all my posts in the thread.
Shame really, as there are some good ideas in the thread.
This is what a vet said
"In my experience with this, most of the pups that go rigid, stop breathing and then revived, tend to die soon after. extensive research has been done into the stiffness phenomenon, but no conclusions have been made about it. It remains a mystery in the vet world."
I don't believe that posters should be allowed to pin another poster's thread, particularly without their permission. JMHO
