Oh crumbs, how scary for you.
We had a whole litter (12) go down with some unknown infection at 5 weeks but we pulled them all through with antibiotics for all of them plus we were syringing lectade into them every half hour to make sure they didn't get dehydrated.
Good luck, I am praying for you and your pups.

Good luck. I hope they start to rally soon.
Fingers crossed for you, all the best.

Not a situation I have been in at 6 weeks did have it earlier ,weakest pup spent night in vets needed more help and allowed me to care for rest ,all survived .Best get sick pup to vets may need more help than you can give .Fingers and toes crossed for you and your little ones.

i really think you need to hydrate them....do you have any sort of electrolytes? lectade maybe?
Morning,.. pups hav taken some fluids ,but vet said they were not dehydrated. A little better thismorning,but i just dont understand them ALL getting a UTI???its not infectious!! was just wondering what could cause this??? Thank you all for replys so far,just hav this nagging feelin that once antibiotics wear off the UTI will return. I,m feeding soaked Eukanuba puppy.
..Also,..at least one puppy has strange poo!! quite greeny /yellow and very sloppy. This could be antibiotics i suppose but they were given in injection form???? Help. :-(
puppies are 8 weeks now,..i still notice cloudy urine when the puppies wee outside. They have all had antibiotics,and seem well in themselves.Anyone have any advice???

try using bottled water , could be something in your water supply .
sounds odd but I know a breeder who lives rural who's litter became ill turned out it was connected to the local water supply and a local river.
Has Mum got a urine problem she may have crystals in her urine but then I cant see how that would affect the litter unless its something being passed on in her milk.
