Puppy. Milk aspiration & pneumonia

[@rosiesaintsable]

Unfortunately some of the videos that I have seen regarding aspiration is that many don’t give a good prognosis. One of my puppies is currently on antibiotics and other videos basically say your dog is going to die.😧 I wish there were more videos on how the process of getting them better.

[@staceyfletcher9317]

James, you are genius! I was just trying to figure a way to help my momma wean her babies but is still producing gobs of milk! What a genius idea to use a syringe! And I have had personal experience with losing a baby to aspiration pneumonia bc I was time feeding and separating mum! Mum was miserable and her milk was overflowing and puppies were overly hungry! This litter, I bought your heating system and installed pig rails and left mum with her babies! She was so happy, calm and a wonderful mum! Her babies never had another instance of milk nose! I’m so happy I stumbled onto you You Tube page and want to thank you for all your advice! Genius! ~Stacey Fletcher😘

[@terryrodriguez9686]

I'm going through this problem currently . my pups are 3 days old. they have short muzzles so I stand them up straight and don't let them feed side ways and also make sure mom's skin doesn't smother there noses . I set a stopwatch and watch them feed and look at feel there bellies for a stopping point. it seems to help so far .

[@KikiG75ThatBritishWoman]

First litter and aspirating issues. I've just listened to the pups lungs and they are clear thanks to your video on this subject and the aspirating bulb. Keep the advise coming

[@straighthustlebullyz5315]

I just lost a puppy yesterday to respiratory problems from milk in the lungs 🫁

[@tankin_9955]

Thank you for everything, Can you make a video of the first feeding after c-section ?

[@Storm_quiet]

Another good tip I dont hear people talk about much is to use a 50 watt infrared heat lamp about 2 ft over the pups. My temp gun says it is 88 degrees. It keeps their environment nice and dry and helps with drying out fluids on the lungs. I lost all 5 of my pups in two weeks on my last litter due to pneumonia 6 months ago. But my new litter is doing awesome.

[@LoveMyPups]

I not a fan of heat lamps. Cooks mum. Are patented whelp heater is a much better solution

[@JayRealubit]

I just lost my one week old today due to this… 😢 second one also have it and he’s getting weaker by the hour..

[@LoveMyPups]

Oxygen incubator amoxicillin tube feed is the protocol

[@kidwrangler5]

This was SO informative and helpful. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome information. We ended up with a stray dog that had 10 puppies!! One puppy had the crackling sound. We were able to help her!

[@Bonjourdoodles]

Very good advice James! Have dealt with this situation and saved one of my puppies by tube feeding and zythromax after clavamox failed to treat the aspiration pneumonia!

[@mayaostler9827]

I have tried the "breast pump" but find that it is far more effective and comfortable for mom to just hand express each teat into a cup. I then draw the milk into 3ml syringes and freeze them for future use... Liquid Gold! In fact, any time I have a mom over producing I take this opportunity to bolster up my storage of frozen breast milk. It has never gone to waste. I also purchased a used oxygen concentrator from local online classified ad and place any pup that has crackles in lungs, high respiratory rate (over 40 breaths per minute) or increased work of breathing' into James' incubator care unit and run oxygen tube into it. I attached a bubble bottle to concentrator to humidify the air. If puppy is severe I place a clear bowl over puppy in the unit and place the tubing under the bowl to create a more concentrated oxygen chamber. Purchasing these items are far less expensive than 1 puppy ER visit and less that the price of one pup. I bought both items a year before I ever needed to use them and was grateful to have on hand in the critical moments.

My girl is due her first litter in two days and this is my first time breeding. We're expecting definite 7 seen on Xray, very likely 8. Got the timing right with the progesterone testing. I did not know much about milk aspiration until watching your video. I'll try to get the tools that I don't have from my friend who is a vet tomorrow. Your video may have saved her pups. Thanks so much

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Mine just had 8 and the other 12! Lost one pup from each litter (one massive hernia the other mom had puppies a week early and I discovered them the next morning. She did great but I suspect the littlest pup didn't get a chance to nurse soon enough and went downhill within 6 hrs despite incubatoring and nursing on mom and bottle. Down to 18 and its been a week both moms are feeding great, even mom with 11 pups 😄. So no fear. But a bottle and formula on hand is always a good idea!

The dog rejected the baby’s 4 died so I took her away I think she has the parasite that makes the poop smell metallic Coccidia she has diarrhea and Now she sounds crackly from bottle feeding she is going to the vet in the morning I’m trying my best here IDK anymore if she will make it. She is 8 days old but she was a premie and her Mother is way too young at 10 months her owners let her get pregnant by mistake I will make sure she gets amoxicillin and a smear test to check for coccidia I’m almost 100% positive she has it I asked the owners if the 3 big dogs have bloody poop and he actually said “that’s not normal” Im dealing with people who are not the brightest here and I feel like they essentially let the other puppies die so Im glad I took her I just don’t like it one bit her being away from her Mother now all there dogs probably have to be treated and Im worried about my dog My Yorkie I have been keeping him far away from the baby especially the poop. He hates her anyways he won’t even look at her and he is so jealous he has been hiding under the couch crying upset that Im giving somthing else attention. Should I have my Dog treated Just in case?

[@CrazyDogLadySky]

I wish I had found your videos b4 my German Shepherd had her pups. She had 6 puppies but only 3 are still alive (they are 6 days old.) One was born with her intestines outside her body (vet said a hernia could have burst), one was still born and 1 passed last night (I tried so hard to keep him alive. He was the runt. Vet doesn't know what happen.) I have been to the ER vet 5 times this week from different reasons. Today I went cuz 1 pup had blood in her poop so I got parvo tests done. No parvo but momma is on Amoxicillon for mastitis so the puppies have had diarrhea from that. They think that's why there is blood. So I am now bottle feeding. But I really want to tube feed. I dont want anymore babies to die. I have everything for tube feeding. Anyway, that was a rant lol. Thank you for your info!!

[@michellemackenzie1466]

I'm so happy iv seen this today, iv 4 pug puppys and mum has mastitis also have had pup with milk coming from nose, I no flat nose pups are worse for this but have been in such a panic over it. I'm going to try this on mum to see if I can get some of milk out teet, she is on pain meds and antibiotics so hopefully I can help her.

My mum doesn't know them because of the c section so she smells them then tries to nip them so I've been advised get a muzzle and introduce them to mum whilst calming her down over the space of a few days she is supposed to get used to them because the chemicals in her body that hasn't been released during natural birth start releasing and she starts getting used to being a mum. I've a muzzle arriving today so going to give it a go and see how it goes

Been feeding them every 3 to 4 hours 2 hours for the first 3 days they are 6 days old now, every time we feed them they get ahead of themselves from time to time it dosn't happen every single time we feed but they end up eating to fast and get milk down the wrong tube, we immediately stop feeding hold it slighty downwards and rock it slighty and pat its back with a finger. So far i dont see any runny noses or labored breathing trying to keep milk warm all throughout feeding they have strong suckers and are gaining weight, dont have a scale capable of weighing that low but they are about twice the size they where when first born.....seems to be going good but man oh man am i scared and stressed about sickness and aspiration.
