If your puppy looks like this take it to the vet if your dog has puppies and one of them comes out looking like this then you should definitely take it to the vet as soon as possible this is a video that I scrolled across on my Instagram reals

So you can only imagine what the comments were like under this video and little do the people know that are commenting these mean comments that this is a very serious condition you can see that this newborn pup is extremely swollen this is because it has an edema

And this earns itself the name water p puppy walrus puppy or the more scientific name anasara as previously mentioned the puppies are born with an edema pretty much all over their body and for those of you that don’t know what an edema is this is an excess buildup of fluid and unfortunately for

Puppies that are born with a moderate to severe version of this edema there’s an extremely low chance of survival they essentially end up drowning in their own fluids so the best course of action for this is to put them out of their misery they have a lesser edema you can treat

Them with things like a diuretic but this is pretty rare

  1. No shit, WHO needs to be told that?!!?? If you’re puppy looks like that, and you WEREN’T doing genetic modification experiments, then it’s probably either gonna DIE or it’s suffering immensely, either way, a doctor should intervene immediately.

  2. It's so sad if that pup didn't make it. You could tell it was struggling to breathe, and it didn't appear anyone was fixing to try anything. I'm glad you showed this because I've never seen such a severe case.

  3. Why do you need to take it straight to the vet if it’s going to be put down?

    The Mother can use that puppy for nourishment for the rest of the litter

    Mothers will instinctively eat a sick pup, if any of you didn’t know…

    It sounds ludicrous ;but that’s nature folks.

  4. Absolutely heartbreaking that poor little thing.youd think the vets would be able to drain the fluid or have some kind of treatment for the little guy i feel like some vets just jump to euthanasia too quickly sometimes.how awful.😢
