When I bred my boxer she had 6 puppies. 1 was born stillborn, one had the severe cleft pallette and one was missing half of an arm. So we had several defects and tragedies and it was sad. However we had 3 wonderful healthy girls that were so much fun to raise and made it all worth it even though I wont do it again. So I know what it feels like and you cant lose hope . I am wishing her the best. Please keep us updated on her progress.

Thank you for your concern....So sorry to hear what you had to go through with your boxers...so very sad.....I can't blame you for not wanting to go through that again....even though you raised 3 healthy and happy puppies it just tears your heart out when something like that happens....my little one is doing as well as we could have hoped for....she is gaining weight everyday...she is now up to 8oz today,,,,and being very sassy.....everytime i fed her today..she peed all over me...I am hoping her eyes will open tomorrow...i see her brother and sisters are starting to open today...it wil be oneless thing to worry about once the eyes are open....you know when there is one birth defect there is the possibilities of others...so I guess i will be relieved to see that there are eyes underneath those lids....i just can't relax and be happy that she is gaining weight...i always have to be thinking of the "what ifs"...today was the first day i was trying to come up with a name for her (we are keeping her) its a very difficult thing to do.....I want something special....looking for ideas if you have any???thanks again for everyones concern.....
