Mosby 355 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I bred an older bitch a few weeks ago. I had to leave town for work for a week and I left the dogs with my dad. Seeing as she was kenneled with another dog and rough coated my dad could not tell that she was not eating her food and he didn't have a clue she was ill. I got home and felt her and she was bony as heck and dehydrated.I gave her antibiotics that are safe for a pregnancy and had to syringe liquids down her for a night. Her temp was just one or two below normal. I got her eating raw meat for the past week and she's just starting on dry food again. She seems to have pulled through fine but I am worried abut whether the litter will survive. She was thick and muscled before i left but greatly deteriated by the time i was home. What are the odds the litter is fine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mosby 355 Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Thought I'd update. Strong healthy pups were born 7 weeks or so back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
