Take her to the vet asap!! You can try to give her some Gatorade or Powerade until you get there. You have to force it in her though. I know its sounds cruel but it will give her some liquids in her. When your dog had her puppies she may have not of passed all the after births which can make a mommy dog very sick. She also could just be really drained from the puppies and needs some extra nutrients. You really should take her to the vet though.

Best advise is get to the vet right now. If you read all 12 of these answers, you're wasting time. She could be having seizures or have been poisoned, both cause trembling. Or any number of things due to having pups. To be sure go to the vet now. Stop reading the answers and go now. You can finish reading them later.

It sounds like Calcium Crash. She needed extra calcium and protein everyday since her pregnancy. In most cases a vet will need to start an IV and give her Calcium and Glucose to keep her blood sugar up. I'm so sorry for your trouble.In the mean time give her a Tums which is calcium carbonate and plain vanilla ice cream which is accepted by most sick dogs and will prevent dehydration.When you have time, let us know how it goes. A vet may be your best bet. My thoughts are with you.

With the symptoms your describing, it sounds like something very serious is going on, and she could be in real danger. She needs to get to the vet immediately, to be checked out. Good Luck! I hope she and the puppies make it.

You need to take your dog to the vet as soon as possible. Check her gums to see if they are pale. They should have a good pinkish red color to them. Also try putting some light corn syrup on her gums. Dogs tend to "bottom out" when their sugar levels are low and so forth. Nutrient supplements could also help especially with her having puppies.

She is probably having a side effect to having puppies but she should be seen by a vet to make sure it isn't anything too serious.

Given what you are describing and that there are puppies invovled, you should see your veterinarian. There are many reasons why your dog could have those symptoms.

Please take her to a vet. If she is not eating or drinking, and "not responding" I am guessing she is in trouble. It could be a low calcium (fatal if untreated) or any number of problems.
