nikrhithokaylin Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Swayed, thank you, I know, I ordered one from you but it came a day too late (not your fault, ordered it monday we got it wednesday) . We lost him, he developed pneamonia, which I am sure came from inhaled milk when we were trying to feed him with a syringe, and went down hill extremlly quickly.RIP Gizmo Yes that is often what happens with weak puppies; they are not strong enough to suckle properly from mouth to gut. Next time (hopefully never, touch wood ) if you have a puppy that is not gaining weight, give them ABs so they have something to fight with Their weakend system cannot fight anything on its own, hence ABs to either contend with an underlying infrection or prevent a new infection taking hold. Hi Sorry, I just realised that I hadn't come back to say that we had had him to the vet and he had had an ab shot and was on oral ab for an infection on his ear, that we think was cause from the other puppies sucking on it!!! Another lesson learnt, I just wonder if we will ever not get so emotional over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretel Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Sometimes you do everything you can and the pup just doesn't make it :D I tubed one little one for well over a week and took her everywhere with me but she just did not grow at all. I was getting plenty into her but it didn't help. Broke my heart to face up to it and have her PTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
