Being a new mom is HARD. The sleep deprivation. The changes to your body. The sheer, bone-deep exhaustion. We can't even imagine what it would be like to care for ELEVEN newborn pups on your own! But Kaige is a good momma, who takes good care of her puppies. But we know she has to be running on fumes. Maybe that weariness is what led her to make some bad (life-threatening) choices, and eat some things she shouldn't...like her foster's prescription medications!
We didn't know how much medication she actually ingested, but knew any amount could be deadly. We rushed Kaige to the vet to get checked out. And since she is nursing, we had to get all 11 pups checked out too, just to be sure.
Fortunately, all seems to be well. Kaige continues to care for her pups, who all seem to be healthy and thriving. Meanwhile, we just have to foot the bill for this serious medical scare.
