Eclampsia In Dogs
- It also known as milk fever or puerperal tetany, is a dangerous and life-threatening drop in blood calcium that usually happens to nursing mothers 2 to 4 weeks after giving birth.
Clinical Signs:
- Heavy panting and restlessness
- Stiff walking
- Wobbliness, or weakness
- Muscle twitching, spasms, or tremors
- Fever or high body temperature
- Seizures, coma, and death if left untreated
Causes and Risk Factors
A High demand for milk: The mother loses calcium through milk faster than her body can replace it.
B. Small breeds: Small-breed dogs like Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and Shih Tzus nursing large litters are most at risk.
D. Improper diet: Giving too much calcium supplement during pregnancy can actually stop the body from regulating calcium properly on its own.
