Sad about Jessie's puppies

judy · 11-22-2009, 03:17 PM

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.

How heartbreaking for Jessie. Of course she needed a hug from her Mother!!! I'm glad to hear that some of the pups are doing better. Hopefully the last one will start feeding better. Give Jessie a hug from me too!!

Thanks for your good wishes! The puppies are doing better!!! The vet said at 3 weeks, if they survive, they should be fine. I think they have a few days to go.

Janet, she is supplementing with goat's milk by dropper. The vet told her she can't give them nutrical, or even glucose water yet. I don't know why, but the goat's milk is protein and that's what they need right now he said. She said thanks for the suggestions!

So, hopefully, they will get stronger and thrive well!
