Bitsy had a relapse:( - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Bentley&BitsysMom · 04-22-2005, 03:52 AM

I feel so bad! Bitsy had a relapse last night. I had to take her back to the ER. I thank God that I fell asleep on the couch with her and when I woke up at 12:30 her heart rate was up and she wouldn't eat and she didn't look right. She started going downhill fast!!! She did a little different this time. Her heart was beating so hard and so fast I thought she would have a heart attack. I think she was having convulsions or seizures or something. We've been so tired and she suffers quietly and if I had not been on the couch with the TV on and woke up we may have slept through it and she would have died. I thought things were going so well just feeding the pups every six hours. I feel so bad and responsible. I'm in a rush now to feed the pups and I'm starting them on puppy food this morning because, thank goodness, they are three weeks old! Then I'm going to pick Bitsy up. I asked the doctor last night about a shot to dry up her milk but he said he had never heard of such a thing. I'm taking her to her regular vet today too and will ask him about it. I hope and pray she doesn't have heart damage! She has had such a hard time. As hard as it will be I won't let her nurse anymore. Thankfully the puppy food should help the pups because I worried before that they weren't getting enough milk. I want to post a picture today of the pups. They are starting to walk on all fours now and seeing better and they actually look at me now. So precious! I keep looking back at the other thread at all the posts for references in all the advice you all have given me. Your support through this is indescribable! I wish Bitsy knew how much she is loved and cared about by so many!

I'll post again after lunch and let you know how she is doing. My mom had planned on coming over this morning to take me out to lunch and I'm going to get her to help me with the feedings. It takes so long to feed six of them.

I am so sorry to hear that

. It is so hard to worry about your baby and worry about her babies. I am glad that your pups are 3 weeks. Mine are only 12days and I worry that their not eating enough too. Lots of sleepless nights and wrinkles but it is all worth it. There is a shot that will dry up her milk, it is just a matter of finding a vet who uses it. Please let us know. OUr prayers and thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry to hear that. I have been thinking every day about you and the pups. I just can't imagine having to go through it, you are holding up much better than I think I would. Hopefully her own vet will have some insight. I will be thinking about you all. Hope to see everything went well in your post after the visit to the vet.

Oh my heavens Michelle, my heart just goes out to you. I'm so glad you've had the wisdom of this forum for support through all this. I've had nothing to contribute except prayers but that's important too. I'll pray for all of you today. Hopefully the worst is behind you. Can't wait to see pictures of those precious pups and another one of Bitsy, Yorkie Mom of the Year!! God bless!

BITSY!!

Oh My Dear God, I am so sorry to hear about Bitsy. I hope she is doing real well soon and i hope you can get some rest. You have been a amazing Mom and Grandma. I haven't been on in a little while now because of me working night shift. But, i remember seeing those precious pic's and let me tell you what a gorgeous girl you have. I had no clue as to what was happening. But, i will pray for the best for you and Bitsy and her babies!!!

Best Wishes for Bitsey..she will be okay with the pups off her now...they will be eating on their own soon..a big relief I know.
I am so glad you were there...it is always wise to get up during the night to check on a mom and pups..6 to 8 hrs unchecked is too long for me.
