| Can I do anything to help my dying lil puppy? Hello all, you have seen my Brooklyns little puppies in picutres I posted. But my little boy puppy has turned for the worst very fast in the last few hours. He had finally hit the 4 oz mark after a week at 3.5 oz...so it is a huge disappointment to see this. He is constantly gagging with fluid coming out of his nose......the vet said that there is nothing we can do but continue to tube feed him as we had..and just pray for the best..about every 4 hours with 4mL formula. He said it was most likely just a failure to flourish....and couldnt describe what was wrong I just feel there should be something more I can do.....its so sad to see this happen. But I understand if there is nothing I can do.....just want as many opinions as possible. Thanks |

| I don't have any suggestions but wanted to say that he is in my thoughts and prayers. Just keep tube feeding and hopefully he will continue to be a fighter. |

We had this happen and the puppy was autopsied and it had malformed internal organs. It was just mother nature's way. Failure to thrive is about as specific as they can be, sadly. There are the joys of breeding and then there are the sorrows. Love him up while he's here but don't give up hope. CJ | |

| THANK YOU ALL - But unfortunately just an hour ago I took him to the Emergency Vet and found out he has Pneumonia and they said it was a matter of hours before he died. I made the toughest decision of my life and put him to sleep - he was suffering so bad - and he deserved better. A week and a half fight with this and it ended like this. I haven't stopped crying for 8 hours now. I hope he can forgive me. He was a fighter til the end and he will never be forgotten. Hope Brooklyn understands. Thanks for all your prayers and hope - You made me smile. Katie |

| Katie, There is nothing that you have done that he needs to forgive you for. You have prevented him from pain and suffering. It was your responsibility to do the very best that you could do for him and you did all that was humanly possible. The rest was up to God. Now He is holding your puppy and that little fellow doesn't feel pain or sickness any longer.
