Not knowing just what your vet did test for, it would be impossible to give possible or probable solutions or answers. Sometimes e-coli or giardia. or other protozoan diseases are missed.

Need more specific info. Too many things could be the problem. One more thing. There are too many dogs as it is. Hundreds of thousands are being killed every day in shelters across the country. Why would anyone add to the problem by breeding more? Please tell your mother to act responsibly and stop.

It would be helpful to know where you live and what sort of insects (specific species of mosquitoes, ticks, etc.) and such are in your area. Often a vet will use antibiotics because they're not sure what to do, or how to treat the illness. Do you know what antibiotics the puppies were on (Doxycyline, Baytril, Cephalexin, Clavamox, etc.)?
