Breathing difficulty in puppies
I have 2 week old puppies and the last three were born 8 & 9 hours after the others. They were all three males and I have alredy lost two of them and now the other is sick. I live in a small country town and when the first one began to have breathing difficulties we asked the local vet here what to do and he said there wasn't anything that could be done because this was her first litter and she had 7 puppies and that was a lot for a first time mother to take care of. So we tried everything we could and used everything we could think of to try to help him breathe. I have a son that when he gets sick gets a real bad cough and he has a albuterol breathing machine so I even used that to see if it would help. I found a post on here by emberz that sounds exactly like what my puppies are doing but I have yet to find any answers or anything that we can do to help this third puppy stay alive. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Oh and as soon as we noticed a breathing problem with each of the three puppies within an hour the mother rejected them.
