Yorkshire puppies from my Caesarean section. The Yorkshire Terrier had bitten off the skin stitches and came back on the 2nd day after Caesarean section. I noted a very high fever due to hypocalcaemia and gave an injection of Theracalcium. 

The breeder farmed out some puppies to another dam. After that, the dam had no more panting and was suckling the 5 puppies. The dam is small size and it was fortunate that she came on Day 2 for her skin stitch breakdown and I discovered the panting and high fever ("milk fever").  Another Corgi with 6-week-old puppies is healthy too.    

I can remember my patient as I don't have many unlike the breeder who has to take care of various dams.
