Good news, Momma Marlee is no longer in pain from her shattered foot. Unfortunately, she did end up losing her front leg, and she’s dealing with an infection in her intestines on top of everything else.
Momma Marlee also lost a lot of blood from all her wounds, and right now, she needs to focus on surviving and getting healthy. She needs her medications to fight the infection and recover. Without them, her life could be at risk.
Unfortunately, if the babies continue nursing while she’s on these medications, especially doxycycline, it could put them at risk, too.
As heartbreaking as it is, we made the decision not to put Momma Marlee and her babies back together. This was not an easy decision, but Momma needs her medications to heal, and we cannot risk compromising her treatment or the babies’ safety.
The puppies have taken to bottle-feeding beautifully and are doing well!
We all want Momma and her babies to be okay, but right now, Momma has to survive and recover. She has endured so much already, and she deserves the chance to heal.
