tate was so dehydrated at three days old that you could hear her lungs stick together when she tried to breath..i pinched her skin to see how bad the dehydration was, and it staye stuck up. IT took a week of iv hydration, she was too weak to swallow so i put one drop at a time under her tongue until she swallowed.
There were three pups in this condition, i lost one, the other two got to grow up and have good lives.
