OneeyedJohn Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 We have a beautiful 5 kilo thai dog that we mated with another poodle looking thai dog and the result was 3 pups that are irresistible. That was March 12 and now the mother is is suffering from Calcium exhaustion and had the vet not come and put her on a drip I doubt she would survive the night. This post is only to help and inform of possible problems, we will separate the pups and mother immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambinA Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) milk fever cause - hypocalcemia (low blood calcium) and/or hypoglycemia(low blood glucose) in post partum basically we wont add calcium for bitch while pregnant , coz it can be mal-formation in puppy .. we will start to add calcium tab. for the bitch after labour ( 1000 mg /day) while lactation till wean the sign of milk fever > high fever , seizer ,hypernea,coma and shock Tx - intravenous by calcium gluconate +Glucose (slowly iv ) ..(if fast ,it will be induced the dog to be vomitted) Edited April 16, 2006 by BambinA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneeyedJohn Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 Thanks bambina you are spot on, I'm sure thats wot the Vet was saying albeit in Thai..only joking. My wife had the same problem wiv sow shortly after birth and she just bought a lot of glucose tablets and stuffed them into the pig..saved her life..the pigs' I mean of course.

bina Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 add some dairy to her diet (as yougurt not milk) or proper lactation food for dogs.... common in goats too.... give the liquid equivalent to the calcium and glucose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
