Colostrum Needed For Puppies

Posted : 7/13/2006 1:59:41 PM

This is from the nutrition threads;

Hillbrae kennels nr Telford Shropshire are caring for three, two day old pups found dumped at a local counry park when they were just an hour old. They URGENTLY need dog colostrum to give to the pups to help them fight infection.
Can anyone who has a dog that has given birth in the last 15 hours or who has frozen colostrum help??
Please contact the Marty at the kennels on 01952 541254

What city and state is this? I am new to the board if it is listed and I just don't know where to look yet. I can at least help get the message out if I knew what city you are in.

I think it's somewhere near North Wales in Great Brittain, if I'm not mistaken. Christi

I'm surprised the vet hasn't already done so...but you can obtain blood from a fully vaccinated healthy dog, and spin it down to plasma...the plasma is then injected into the pups. This gives them the same antibodies as colostrum....just something to perhaps help them out...
