Hi All,
Lets start with the happy news first - Last week Luna gave birth to 6 little babies.
Now for the sad news...one of the babies required my work - i tried to get as much fluid out of her lungs as possible at birth, then had to give her the kiss of life.
Long story cut short (I was caring for her for 3 days, Luna was cuddling with her - in a strange way, Luna used to take her to her litter tray which she wasnt using, and lay down and cuddle with her)...Monday, Luna brought her to me, onto my bed and sat down looking at me. Little girl, we named her Pepper (small and strong) wasnt crying. She wasnt cold, but her head was cold. I quickly weighed her...she lost 8g in a period of 4 hours. I put a tube down, slowly began to let the formula down...out of 2ml, some came up through the mouth and nose. I sucked out as much as I could.
I rushed her into the hospital, whilst I was driving I had to assist her with breathing, and getting all the liquid out of her nose - she was gasping for air. She was pressed against my palm under the blanket.
The night before...She was feeding fine, suckling, latching on (it was her first night of nursing)...and I was giving her extra formula too...she took a dive over a period of 3 and a half hours that i didnt attend to her. I can only blame myself for that.
At the hospital, she was on IV, oxygen, antibiotics and fluids. Due to carelessness of the hospital staff, the nurses were told to feed her. I was called at 2pm to be advised that she was fed, but regurgitated, suffocated but they managed to revive her. At 4pm...they were not so lucky. And I got the dreaded call...It broke me. Writing this, is breaking me. I am angry and upset. I did all I could for 4 whole days (kept her warm, fed her every 2 hours, not slept, not ate myself to make sure that Pepper and the other 6 were all fed and warm)...I asked for medical intervention and they failed me...and Luna too. I cannot help but feel the blame for that...I had a true bond with that little girl. And now I no longer have my little girl. If she was crying, I would kiss her head and she would calm down and fall asleep. She was the smallest of the litter...number 5 to arrive.
Monday night I had to rush another one...named Chilli (number 6 to arrive, second from the smallest)...he had clicker breathing. He was put on oxygen, IV, antibiotics and was later discharged to be medicated at home.
Well last night, I had to call again...another one, liquid at the nostrils...sounds like sneezing. Was advised to start medicating all 6 of them. I also noticed something strange - they all have odd brown marks on their cheeks and chins...and one who sounds like hes sneezing (Mr Blue - chucky number 2), has a brown line going across the tip of his tongue.
I am reaching out, because I lost trust in our vet. I sent an email with the pictures and no response...I feel like half the time, I am having to tell them WHAT I THINK it could be.
Luna was tested for everything - all of the viruses were all negative.
The only thing that she had, was diarhoea all throughout her pregnancy. We tried everything we could to stop it - 5 days before she gave birth it stopped. She also had a 7th baby, but he never formed properly - he was fluid filled.
She also fell half way through her pregnancy, and was limping...then started losing balance on that leg. This still continues, and yesterday when I was testing her leg after she couldnt put her back foot down, her patella clicked, and then she went running normal (no limp, like she was all ok).
I will attach few pictures for you.
