EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

During my gyps first litter she did amazing up untill the pups got teeth at 4 weeks or so , now on her second litter there 18 days and its like she dosent want to feed and her tits are rock hard we layed her down and let the pups nurse to get some milk out and keep for her getting infected or uncomfertable . Aany ideas input or suggestions ????? To me it lloks like where the pups are pusshing with there paws its makin um raw from sharp lil claws just my thoughts but any tricks tips or suggestions are helpful, just need her comfertable for the next week pups all already look like hercules at 18 days lol

Take a hot towel and massage her tits....sounds like mastitis to me...that should give her relief and the heat may dissolve the clumps!

Its mastitis.....  Go buy calcium gluconate at TSC or feed store.  Give her 10-20cc orally and about 3cc of peniccillin.  Do this twice a day for 2-3 days.  Should clear right up. Dont take the pups away from her.  They will help in milking the infection out of her. The milk quality will not be very good but you want to get it out of her. You can massage her bag some to help break it up and speed the process up some but the pen/calcium is the ticket to getting her well.

you can clear it up with some pen  , but the recomended treatment is clavamox from the vet . cheap enough even with office visit .

Alright thanks can't get to vet till thurs gonna try some pen and the cal glu tom and wed till I can get her in I been puttin pups on her layin her down and it seems to be softin them up some gettin some milk out

X's 2, this is what my vet gave me when my lab got mastisis, she was back to normal in 3-4 days.

I just had 2 gyps with it at the same time.  I transfered it from one to the other so keep your hands clean.  I mix 3 cc's of pen. And 7 cc's of calcium glusonate in seringe and inject in neck skin twice a day.  Worked faster than anything else I've done.  Good luck

She's headin to vet at 445 thanks for yalls help

Got gyp to the vet got her on clavamox and a dog pain killer and with one dose she's back layin with her pups letting them nurse which is great thanks for y'all help I really appriciate it we will see how next couple days go so thanks agin , half breed I will say this it wasn't cheap !! 40$ exam 80$ for clav and 12$ for pain meds , at least that's here in fl but its worth every penny for a great hunting friend and family member

calcium/pen is the cheapest way to go and works in 24-48 hrs. But Im glad she is better.

Thanks randy i m gonna pick up the cal glu before I ever have another litter and have on hand couldn't get my hands on it today so hit the vet money don't matter when it comes to my family and my dogs are not just a tool like some I provide feed make sure there health is good. And work countless hours to make sure there to the standard just as I would with my children so there part of the family thanks again boys

damn craker find a new vet lol my whole expirience was only  60.00  .   but you got her the best med for the job .

geez yes cracker your vet screwed you on the clavamox . i just double checked and it is still about 2.00 a pill for a 250mg tablet , unles you got a whole bunch of tablets ..  i'd find a new vet and then let the old one know what i thought . but find you a new one first cause you never know . i know it takes less than ten tabs to straighten a gyp out , twice a day for five days

theres 28 375mg tabs 

ok well this trip cost more than it should and you should have enough left for the next time or did he tell you to give them all ? the 375mg are around 2.25 each . put the rest in your medicine kit for futer use it's a good anti-biotic for several ailments .

It says to use till finished but I will see how she is after week of use and I can save others he told me it was 60 for clav just weeks ago but price spiked to around 80, hopefully she will will be weened off pups are 3 weeks today and teeth are almost threw her last litter she had um weened at 4 and I had um on soggy pup food with powder milk supplement.
