Thanks again everyone. Fortunately, I didnt have to see whatever rude/mean spirited comments that were made due to everyone being on top of things as usual! I recognize that some people on here are quite rude and ill spirited - it is not something that is new to me on here. However, I know - and I am sure that most know - how absolutely amazing the breeders are on this website. This website has been my playbook for the majority of Chloe's pregnancy.
The only puppies I ever saw being born were my Moms (now 14 years old) maltese. I guess she had them 12 years ago, so I was about 14 when it happened. I tried to view as many videos, etc as possible, but never saw the exact size, shape, etc of a yorkie pup. I didnt realize that something was terribly wrong until I saw the posts of the other (and absolutely adorable) puppies posted by Wookie Man (I think I got your name right!). From that point, I took fast action and attempted to do anything suggested by the many many posts on the website.
The question then is: has my inexperience caused this disastrous day? Recognize, that in my earlier post the emergency vet told me NO. In fact, he stated that if the puppies were born at that hospital, they could not have saved him. For YorkieRose to point this out, and confirm his statements, should be enough for the doubters. Moreover, he was not sure why she delivered early. As all experienced and inexperienced breeders know, the first whelp usually isnt the best. He felt that it was in large part due to the fact that it was her first whelp. In addition, Chloe has been more than closely monitored, well cared for, and taken to the vet 4 times since she became pregnant to ensure her health and the health of the pups.
In conclusion, the rude, ill-spirited comments serve little purpose other than to push one's own agenda of perpetuating negativity in the world. For me, I have dealt with my fair share of such comments. Clearly, though, I really dont need those comments right now. I have much more going on.
THANK YOU EVERYONE, again, and again, and again, and again........You are the best.
