Hopefully the vet will be able to give you a good prognosis. It's amazing how quickly you become attached to them. Penny is at the vet today having the abcess drained from her teat the result of her mastitis. Fingers crossed she will be feeling much better by tonight.

Fordogs. I recall reading online that a problem with the tail can indicate problems with the spine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordogs Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Beautiful babies Cavelblaze, Isn't it amazing how suddenly the little ones catch up and very soon you will have to actually look very hard to pick her out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavalblaze Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Beautiful babies Cavelblaze, Isn't it amazing how suddenly the little ones catch up and very soon you will have to actually look very hard to pick her out. At the moment in the litter she is a bit of a stand out as her sister is 710grm were she is only 386grms. The rest are up in the very high 500- 600 bracket so she does look really tiny amoungst them. But you are right she is hitting her milestones in development and i hope come 6 weeks i won't tell her apart from the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlesrule Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 My little boy was given his wings today, , he also had a deformity of his pelvis. ((((((((Fordogs)))))))) Penny is feeling much better, though the drain they put in didn't even last the night. It was hanging out this morning so took the stitch out, she slept on my bed so fairly certain she didn't pull it out. Pups are weaned, have stopped the Divetlact for the next couple of days and they will just be having mushy dried food to try and clear up their loose stools.

Cavalblaze Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Swear dogs must know it's me coming along in the car. I just rescued a Cavalier off the middle of the road a inch of being hit by passing cars, along with its friend a bouncing a spinger spaniel. Thankfully a lady walking her poodle came along and told me the dogs belong to the house on the corner. All home safe and sound but they better count their lucky stars as it was certainly was a very close call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavalblaze Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Emergancy tonight. Eclampsia or otherwise known as Milk fever. Big litter and a small dog with massive utters so she has a overflow of milk supply. Hopefully caught it early stages so i'm hoping it can be controlled via calcium supplements. But for now i am doing injections overnight, time will tell. I'm home for now, see how she goes with me playing vet nurse but if i see any more down hill signs back in emergancy and have bottle feed pups.

Was about to say she is ok, but not so....back to the vet. She isn't well, poor darling. Injections are working but they don't last if she feed pups. So i am home for now, armed with more injections to give her and she is to not feed her puppies till we get her stablized. Vet saids maybe bring in 1-2 pups tomorrow and see how she goes. At this stage in time i am going to be bottle feeding 6 puppies by myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
