When my 3 female dogs were born they were rejected by their mother and after 3 days of forcing her to lay down to allow the 3 little girls to nurse we decided it was time to bottle feed them. After consulting a veterinarian we purchased puppy milk, bottles, cotton balls, and other such items and began being Mommy and Daddy dog to our little girls. Their veterinarian says that we are lucky that all 3 pups made it because often they don’t, and today they are 2 years old and wonderful little girls that we are sure don’t realize they are dogs and not children. We have a very special relationship with our dogs and with the advice of our veterinarian they are both happy and healthy! Remember that its always best to talk to your veterinarian when something is wrong or even if you suspect something is wrong with dogs, they do really know best and will help you get the best out come possible.
The above case is an extreme one, there are many situations that don’t require us to call the vet. We just need to make sure that we arm ourselves with knowledge. That way, when the unexpected arises, we will be able to handle it. To learn more about how to care for your dog and when to call the veterinarian, please visit www.DogTipsDaily.com today.
