Common sense should say that if you lost one and another is ill............rush them to an emergency clinic or vet. What on earth could a list do for sick and dying pups.........they need medical help STAT. That should be the number one suggestion! Our list offers up suggestions and tips, home remedies and recipes and other breeders advice but noone could diagnose these pups and treat them in an emergency situation through cyberspace. Doesn't matter what Ed or anyone else replied.........an emergency is an emergency........
