Pray for our puppy!

[KikiDeAnime]

My parents just left to take one of our 5 week old puppies to the vet.
Earlier it started making a bunch of noise and after my parents got home, it had a seizure with foam. It has since tried to vomit so I convinced them to take it to the vet despite us not having the money for the bill.

My mother told me to be prepared in case they have to put it to sleep if there's nothing to do for it.
But since it only started today it should be fine, right?

I'm asking for prayers for this little pup.

I'm keeping an eye on the other 8 puppies while they're gone.

Sure, we will pray for your puppy. Let us know what happens.

Update:
My parents made the difficult decision to put the puppy to sleep. He had a neurological disorder and that would have caused him to continue having seizures. We're all upset about this.

It is one of the very sad facts of life that not all babies, of whatever species, are going to make it. I am very sorry about your puppy, though. Been there, done that, and it never gets any easier. It would be good to know if the problem was congenital or hereditary. If it is likely to be a hereditary problem it might be best not to breed the parents again. Something to think about.

These puppies were accidental and never planned.
And the vets had said it had to do with development.

Puppies can be a hard thing to deal with. When the puppies are weaned, get mom back to the vet and get her spayed before there is another accident. Many female dogs come into heat again soon after they have a litter. If your parents think it is too expensive, talk to the vet and ask about a payment plan. Or go to your local shelters and ask when they have a "spay day" when people can get their animals fixed for a small amount of money.

My parents don't plan on fixing any of our 3 dogs nor will we allow another litter. My parents, however, are going to breed our male German Shepherd to another German Shepherd in a couple months.

An un-"fixed" female around males IS going to get pregnant again. Please encourage spaying her if you don't want her to have more puppies. It's not fair to her or the puppies not to. If the problem is cost, you could save money from your job yourself to pay for it.
