nursing chihuahua mom shaking and foaming

(PARIS TX)

MY CHIHUAUA HAD A LITTER.3 WEEKS AGO. LAST NIGHT SHE STARTED SHAKING AND FOAMING AROUND HER MOUTH.

SHE TRIES TO WALK AND FALLS OVER. SHE LAYS DOWN WITH HER HEAD UP AND LEGS ARE STRAIGHT. SHE'S REAL HOT AND THE PULSE ON HER HEAD IS BEATING VERY FAST.

SHE WON'T EAT BUT STANDS UP. HER BREATHING IS FAST AND WEEZY.





Hi Terry
This is a situation that needs veterinary attention immediately. The symptoms that your dog is experiencing could indicate several things, but they are very serious and she needs professional help.

Please don't wait, get her to a vet right away. I wish you the best of luck and hope your little girl makes a full recovery.

Eclampsia
by: Anonymous

Sounds like your puppy got eclampsia, we had the same thing happen with our chihuahua (she had a litter of 5 pups) we took her in to the vet she was put on high doses of calcuim. She needs to go to the vet immediately or she will die. Next look forward to raising the pups since she will no longer be able too and the vet recomments not ever letter them breed after that since it will likely happen with another litter.
