I have 4 yorkies - all related. Mom and four pups. Three females, one male. One of my females is pregnant and brother is father. This happened one other time and puppies died. Looked like fading puppy syndrome. We bred the mother a couple of time with another Yorkie (not related) and her litters were fine.

1. What can I do to save them if they should start fading?
2. Is it because they were inbred (sister and brother)?
3. I had "onesies" (baby t-shirts that were snapped at all times) on both dogs when the female went into heat - so that they could not "tie" - watched them constantly - they had to get together sometime while we were sleeping - and go through the two t-shirts. Anyone ever hear of this one?

My husband and I love our yorkies - they are like our babies. We feel awful that this happened and just need some feedback as to what would be best for mom and pups - is there anything we can do to ensure that the pups live - either ahead of time or after they are born?

Thanks for any info anyone can give me!!!
