| Puppies are here! Josey had 4 puppies on Saturday morning. It was a textbook delivery although she was a week early. Two boys and two girls. However, one of the girls is smaller than anything I have ever seen. She weighed 1 1/2 ounces. I couldn't believe how tiny! She seems to be a fighter and tries hard to nurse. She isn't strong enough to actually get milk though so we are supplementing her. I am trying not to get my hopes up - she is so small. But if she survives - I'm keeping her - she will be so special. |

| congratulations they are beautiful. Just keep supplementing the little girl. Are you tube feeding or using a syringe? |

| I am not tube feeding - I am using an eyedropper and also trying to get her to suck on a little nipple on a bottle. I am also giving her just a tiny amount of nutrical for energy. The others weigh 5 0z, 3 1/2 0z and 4 oz. She seems to be a little stronger right now. |

| puppy Check her palate to be sure all is well...I would ask the vet to show you how to tube feed..it can mean such a difference, but if not keep doing what you are doing... |

| They are beautiful! Pinky was our smallest and I would get up every few hours to make sure she got on the fullest teats first. I also weighed her everyday to make sure she was gaining. Now at over a year she turned out to be the biggest of the litter at 6lbs. Good luck to you and your beautiful babies!

| Thank you all for being so nice and helpful. I have bred yorkies for 8 years and I have never had a tiny. So this is new to me. I am doing everything I can to save her. Pat, her palate is fine. I think as long as she is getting milk with the eyedropper and the nipple I will continue this instead of tube feeding. I give her about 1 cc of milk and her little tummy fills out nicely. She does not appear to be dehydrated. Keep us in your prayers! |

| Express the milk from the mom to feed her as it has all the nutrients she needs. Good luck with that baby. |
