| I do appreciate your letting me know about this. Hmmm. They have both the dam and stud dog--I guess my first advice would be to contact the breeders where they acquired their dogs from and let them know they had (I presume) their first litter. There are many reasons why puppies in the early days die. A seasoned bully breeder can be an irreplacable mentor, especially when dealing with the complications a litter can bring. I had 3 litters from 1986 to my last in 1993 (the one Elvis was out of) and we had every problem and malady, genetic and otherwise, in the book. Without my mentors I never would have made it! So my first call would be to THEIR breeder for immediate advice, both general as well as bloodline-specific. My next IMMEDIATE stop would be to a competent bully-knowledgable vet and get everyone evaluated, including the bitch. It's probably too late to remove dewclaws, but I'd definately get an evaluation and be sure that mom has expelled all afterbirth and whatnot including her milk output and general after-whelp condition, focusing on pseuso-eclampsia, a calcium drop somewhat unique to Bull Terriers. If for some reason they can't access their breeder I'd go to the Bull Terrier Club of America's website (BTCA--do a search) and find the closest regional club. We have alot in California and we can arrange a home visit if need merits from a member of the closest club. They are an invaluable resource with a list of BTCA approved vets. Have them tell the regional club contact that I sent them--I'm the Iowa rescue 'hotspotter' if they don't know me straightaway and am on the BTCA membership list for 2007. My e-mail should be on the Club's website, if it's not been updated from the old aol, it's gallytrotter@mchsi.com. Have them e-mail me with their phone and I'm more than willing to call them and make a personal referral and be of any assistance possible. Again, thank you Susan for setting things aside and letting us help these folks and their bullies. We'll do the best to help these folks and their babies. Cheers!
