Got 5 new babies today
The puppies are 10 days old today, the owner called me today and said that the mom was acting funny and shivering/twitching, and that she had vomited twice.
I asked if maybe she had gotten into anything poisonous, she said no.
I told her to not let the puppies nurse until she found out what was going on, after no signs of improvement this morning, I told her to take the dog to the emergency clinic. There she was diagnosed with eclampsia & calcium deficiency, which was causing her to have heart arrythmias.
Needless to say, no more nursing for her. The dogs owner asked if I would care for the puppies, I said yes because one is to be mine, and I did trust their care to anyone else. So now I am caring for 5 puppies, and my cousins dog who has been with me a month already, but he goes home Wed. lol
Anywho, here are some pics

very cute puppies but i do not envy you at all. having to wake up every coule hours to feed them is a pain the arse. we had to hand raise a few litters when i was growing up and those 6 to 8 weeks really took a tole on us...
good luck

Re: Got 5 new babies today
SOO cute!! Lol but they're not quite so adorable when you're getting up throughout the night to feed them huh.  Last summer I hand-raised 2-day-old kittens whose mother rejected them. Not exactly a small responsibility hah.
Good luck with them! Keep us updated with pics!!

lol Adam, tell me about it! But the vet said that if I fed them 6 times during the day they will be fine during the night, and the whole stimulation during and after feedings  so I have lots of pee towels & baby wipes on hand.
