Hello!
I have a Dam who just died to day to which I believe is a choking incident as she kept on gasping for air as her nose pointed upwards with his neck seeming to try swallowing something. I didn't get a chance to treat or do a first aid as a few seconds later after I noticed her, she started dropping her body while kicking instantaneously and eventually died with her body upside down and her eyes protruded/bulged.
She left 7 kits that are 18 days old. The closest dam I have that can adopt these babies gave birth also 18 days earlier before their birth date. I already weaned her original kits. Can you suggest me what to do? I already put that foster dam a while ago and rubbed each kits to the her sides, belly, and cheeks. I've been observing them from time to time and I noticed that she would let the babies to her side and underneaths without attacking them which most of my dams would normally do but on older kits based on my experience. This is the first time this incident happened to me.
