Sad about Jessie's puppies

Oh Judy that is just awful that Jessie's pups are sick! I'm like you, I wouldn't want to go over there either. Just too sad! Bless their little hearts. I remember you telling us about what happened to Oreo, Jessie must be just devastated over all of this. I will keep her in my prayers Judy. I know she must be going through alot.

Are the puppies nursing? Is Jessie supplementing? How is the mother of the puppies, plenty of milk? I know lots of questions....

There is something called DoPram V (Doxapram) that I think you can get at a Vet to help fading babies. Also....Nutidrops on their gums can sometimes help.

I did go over to Jessie's house after all. I went to my writers' luncheon, and then drove over there. I told her I just came to give her an hug. She was so glad! I saw the healthy puppies. They are too cute, eyes open, and just beginning to walk at 3 weeks.

Then I went to see the sick little pups. Two of them now look good. Jessie said that they had all gained weight today, and 2 of them had red tongues, and were plumping out. One little white one is still thin, with a pink tongue, and the other is improving. Jess said that you can tell by the color of their tongues. Red is good. I am praying for the little white one. They are all nursing, which they weren't strong enough to do before. She is also supplementing with an eye dropper.

Thanks for the advice Janet. I will tell her.

So sad. I hope the puppies make it. Sounds like Jessie is trying very hard.
I have never heard of this before.. is it a common thing with litters?

I know nothing about having puppies - but I know I would have a really hard time with struggling puppies - I'm a big weenie with suffering animals.

I'm glad you went over there, but gladder the pups were doing better!!!

There is nothing like a hug from your mother to make a girl feel better! I'm glad you went to see her, and I'm so glad some of the puppies are doing better.

I'm glad the puppies are doing better. They must have a strong will to survive.
