Ear
injuries (upper 1/3 of ear pinnae) in a Miniature Schnauzer, attributed

ears? |

43.
Not
eating. Breathing fast. Soft cries. Taiwan-imported Schnauzer puppy housed
in non air-conditioned quarantine kennel was more susceptible to the hot
and humid Singapore heat. 1 older and another puppy had similar symptoms
and did not survive. Was it distemper? Unlikely. |

Don't
wait if the dam is in distress. Breeder got priority right. 5 live
vigorous pups. |
41.
Don't
wait if first stillborn has almost full coat of hair. 52nd day due date
was incorrect. Mated by another sire. Any live pup? Use your finger to
check at vulva, breeder said. Vet should use stethoscope.
Right pup still had heart beats. Dam could not breathe well under
anaesthesia. Took long time. Had to use mask. Breeder noted that
the Caesarean was "bloodless". Dam was in shock. |

40.
Don't
wait if the Chihuahua is past 60th day. Weak contractions. Elective
Caesarean save this sole pup. Mother needs to reduce weight. |
