| Question for breeders. has anyone had experience with puppies being born with intestines outside and the vet put them back in? Did the puppy live or die within a few days? |

| I have heard other people talk about this happening to their puppies, but I have never heard of one living through it. Can they do surgery on a newborn yorkie? Their veins are too small for an IV.....

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i've seen this before. Some have died and some have lived. Some times the mom gets to the puppy before the owner does and mom eats some of the intestine, those pups usually die shortly after.

| Mom didn't hurt them in anyway. vet delivered him. The vet said they were fine. he put them in place and it only took two sticthes to sew it up. he said the boy would be fine and he is the largest one but i don't think he is pooping. he was gasping earlier today and I swung him, suctioned him and rubbed him. he is okay noww but i wonder if it is just a matter of time. Thanks everyone. |

| try looking up gastroschisis. This is what it is called when it happens to a skin baby. They are usually delivered by c-section and taken directly into their own surgery for repair.

| no, it was just the one boy. The vet said it wasn't a hernia (umbilical) but a type of malformation and was not heridtory, thank goodness, because this is Renny's first litter. They are not Ceeby's babies. When the vet told me about it, I asked if we should put him to sleep and i think he got offended but i didn't know never having experienced it before. I am a retired R.N. and have seen a couple of babies this way. One lived, one died. |
