Thank you, we walked into that room in the middle of the night and she was finally suckling on her own and I just looked at her and said are you the grace.. (for the Grace of God) you are still alive.. it can be done and your baby started out being tube fed where Gracie was dehydrating prior to, which is sometimes harder to get them to bounce back. I will keep watching for updates..then when she could not walk the vet told me he wanted to put her down.. I called another vet at his home.. told him what was going on.. he said bring her to me in the morning.. he and his wife (both vets) had not seen what her legs were doing, but made her a brace.. and she walked.. was potty training outside.. as he did not want her on anything that she might slip on.. Our backyard was fenced in and so we did this..
I will be also cheering you on...hugs to you

They are wonderful for bottle fed pups as well.

Thank you -- I will start looking for one now. Sounds like a great idea.

Debra, I have been following this thread. I am so happy that you were able to pick up this baby and I pray she thrives under your care.

Hi Debra:
I have been reading the posts on the little cleft palate Yorkie and am so happy you came through for the little furkid. You are an angel and I wish you and the babe every success and a very long and happy relationship of love and companionship.
Warmest wishes and good luck.

I only had to restart a couple of times. Almost time for another one!

Haven't got a name just yet -- so far calling her "Little Miss" since we went to Mississippi to get her. My sister (visiting from up north) came with me and held her all the way home.

I have to tell you how special this little baby is to me and why I know this was the right thing to do. I have not told many people here but last September I lost my dear husband after a long battle with cancer. That is why I was absent from the forum so long. His birthday was yesterday -- the same day this little puppy was born. In fact, I was at the cemetary "talking to him" as she was being born. I think she is a precious gift and will do everything to give her the best chance possible.

I will be happy for any advice, success stories, and especially prayers for my new baby girl! I have only just begun to study up on the cleft palate issue and what our options will be down the road. But I will do whatever she needs. I just have a good feeling about this!

Debra - your post brought tears to my eyes. I believe your hubby sent this little girl to you to help heal your heart. Bless you, bless your hubby and bless Little Miss. I know she is in great hands!!!!

those sound great! Just make sure to ask your vet.
Both vets your baby saw said absolutely nothing in her mouth. I asked if I could just drop in a drop at a time and the vet said 100% no.
so, just have them take a peak and tell you what they think.
