Im sorry im no help. I would call a vet and ask. I would also make sure momma does not mess with it, thinking somethings wrong with her young she might try and chew on it, not knowing any better.

I think you should call your vet... I don't think any of us can answer that one....

(Anybody??)

CardsGrl · 10-12-2007, 07:58 PM

ty you all anyway i did call my vet and he told me it was a malformation of its skull and it would die most likely so to go ahead and put it to sleep , but thank so much for trying to help ....... so my sister who delivers pups all the time took it with her to put it to sleep cuz she has the meds to do it, plus i couldnt have anyway would have had to take it to vet im to soft hearted, mommy and the other little 3 oz girl are doing great, im off to bed i will post pics soon as i can... yorkie hugs to you all...

YorkieShadow · 10-12-2007, 08:37 PM

Im sure the vet knows, but i would of took it in and had it checked first, just to see if there was a chance, dont see how he can say one way or the other over the phone.

sweetsophia · 10-12-2007, 08:42 PM

Very sad. So sorry you had to deal with that. I am very emotional too but I agree with Yorkieshadow I think I would have taken the baby in to have it looked at, just in case!!

I am so sorry that you had to deal with the decision of putting the puppy to sleep. Those decisions can't be easy to make and I'm sure you did what you felt was best. Good luck to you, the mama, and the remaining baby. Can't wait to see pictures.

I'm so sorry about the lost puppy!

LuvmyYorkies2 · 10-13-2007, 07:16 AM

Hi Cindy....so sorry to hear about the puppy...just wondering on an update...I would have taken the pup in just to be sure....it's hard to go by something over the phone...could it have been just a little bruised from the birthing process...just as it is when we have babies...some have swollen heads, redness on the head, etc. but we don't rush to think something's permanently wrong....let alone fatal. So I'm hoping you opted for a 2nd opinion but if not, my prayers go out to you for having to deal with the loss. Good Luck with the female!!
