You could run out or get up in sleep when you observe that your calf and foot muscles suddenly become hard, tight and painful. If it happens with you than in should you can describe or call it as muscle spasm. Generally muscle spasm are caused by contraction of one or more muscles. Muscles prone to muscle spasm are foot muscles, calf muscles, front and back of the thigh muscles, rib cage muscles, hand muscles and abdomen muscles. Almost every body has experienced the pain of muscle spasm. It is very common and and can be cured by streaching the muscles.
Causes
This problem commonly occurred when a muscles is injured or over used. The main causes for this is when you are working out and you don't you don't get dehydrated. It can be found mainly in peoples who are lack of calcium, minerals and potassium. It can also be brought in the following conditions Hypothyroidism, Medications, Pregnancy, Alcoholism, Kidney failure and Metabolic problems. Poor blood circulation in the legs can also leads to this problem.
We can learn a bit from "people" medicine - water babies (hydrops) is usually from lack of red blood cells in the baby as a result of an infection or immune reaction.
It can effect only one pup in a litter or the entire litter. Water puppies are impossible to deliver naturally, they are huge, swollen, waterlogged puppies. A c-section is a must, as these puppies are generally 2 - 4x the size of their littermates.
These pups range from mild, medium to severely effected.
They do not get STUCK in the birth canal, they do not get that far, as they block the birth canal.
If your dam is pushing on a single puppy, contractions for 2 hours, without puppy presentation into the birth canal, especially after delivering one or two normal pups, you should seek veterinary assistance, as the remaining pups can die, along with the dam.
This is a Medical Emergency!
There are many opinions on why these water pups develop, some say it is congenital or environmental, some say diet, trauma to the dam, or even a virus. There is no evidence to show it is hereditary, but it does effect some breeds more than others. Especially the Bulldog & flat faced breeds including, Boston Terriers, English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Shar Pei, Bullmastiff, Basset Hound, Chow Chow, and Pugs.
It has occurred in crossbred dogs, and pedigree dogs, such as the Borzoi, Maltese, Labrador Retriever, Schnauzers, Bichon Frise, Chihuahuas, German Shepherd, Old English Sheepdog (Bobtail), Poodle, Great Dane, German Pointer &, in a wolf from zoo/wildlife -park.
An x-ray does not always show the larger size of these puppies, as the weight is mostly fluid. An ultrasound is thought to detect these puppies.
Water pups are usually born alive, limp, and weak, and they look like someone blew them up, like a balloon. The dam was supplying the needed oxygen and nutrition through the placenta and cord, but soon after birth the medium to severely effected pup will suffocate by the pressure of the fluid.
