Must admit having never used any form of glucose - pre or post whelping . maybe a teaspoonful during a slow whelping - so I cannot advise. Is this a first litter? How old is she ? Is she normally kept fit & trim? Is this a really unusual behaviour? I'm afraid I would be walking her very early in the morning , when it's cool , so she has some muscle tone /circulation to help when she whelps ..she perhaps may even need to shed some fat? Just suggestions, obviously ..I have no idea of what she is like.

poor little thing - Sounds like a lot of work ahead! Keep us posted.

Oh yes, I remember .

Not sure ..she may even be having some sort of seizure activity ..or need a checkup with an eye to spey incontinence? Ask the vet next time :)

:) I think she and you were meant to be introduced at this time .... KISMET (destiny,fortune/fate) No judgement here - you do what you need to be well and safe - and to ensure the same for those around you.

definitely , H W !!! :)

..oh ..and I am not making excuses- rather explaining perhaps why this is happening ...

it can be very hard ,as an owner, to manage a dog like this . been there, done that ..... got the grey hairs to prove it . Fear/nervous aggression is scary and upsetting for dog and humans.... yes, I advise you consult a vet , and a recommended trainer/behaviourist . A little dog such as this is not feeling comfortable a lot of the time , and especially as you rescued her, must make you feel awful Not your fault!! She may well have been born sensitive ...she may ,too, have now started to react to all the changes in her short and worried life. To get a clear view - proper assessment needs to be done ..and experienced, personal opinions/advice given.

LOL

Kieran always used to make me laugh ..because if anything went missing ,,we knew who had borrowed it by the soft toy left at the crime scene ..pretty much always ;) he was a 42 kg sook ..and used to carry his toys everywhere ..but had to put them down when he was borrowing things ,obviously ;)

maggie is not into anything other than ruling her household /chasing rabbits/giving her owner panic attacks ;)

Ok... Good news time :) Bloods all came back fine .. apart from showing a mild dehydration .....vet now thinks it was /is macadamia poisoning. Maggie is getting use of her hind end a little more each hour ....has barked thru the door at the dog across the road ..and is drinking and toileting . *whew* everyone!! here is the patient .. (not taken today :p ) miss maggie may-hem

maggie is home ... still no blood results . The vet said as she only ate 8 -10 macadamias it is unlikely to be them .... Hmmmm..... Maggie only weighs around 8-10 kg i think..... anyhow - as she is drinking , no IV either. She has had beef broth and watered down milk ..has , after being carried outside tottered a half metre..pee'd ..and then had a drink when carried back inside . So ..waiting on an update -

Fennec fox as a pet? sad.

Looks like FENNEC FOX- click here

.. I am hoping in one way my guess is correct ,and that it is indeed macadamia toxicity ....that seems to resolve with good hydration and support. I am so hoping for good news later today ... My cousin will be devastated if the news is bad ...

This thread is now PINNED- with a name change (thank you TROY)

Just got a phone call ..little Maggie having trouble walking- very lethargic .Went to vet - tender around liver - blood taken . Home again ..dog collapsed. Sobbing owner .. me trying to not panic ..I asked what had she eaten that was different .." yes- we shared some macadamias last night" Little dog is now on the way back to the vets , where, hopefully with support , she will recover . Any spare thoughts please, for the cheeky Miss Maggie .... a little scruff of a JRT X with a HUGE personality ..... Thankyou.

:) and to you!

OMG ..A Rottie has stolen this thread!!!

Sweet potato is a vine of some sort , unrelated to the solanum family ,AFAIK, too.
