Tinkerbell and the little angel are still doing well. We took them to a vet today (not our regular one that I spoke with on Wednesday night--that was essentially no help!) The little girl weighs 52 grams......and the vet gave her a 50/50 chance of surviving - that was after we showed him how she could latch on to Tink's teat. Prior to that - he admitted he was only thinking aboua a 20% chance of survival.
He feels as long as Tinkerbell has milk (which she has a lot of now) - to continue like we have been - encouraging her to nurse. We did get a little bottle and first born formula in case we have to supplement we have it on hand and ready. He said we have been doing everything right (relief). Everyone was amazed at how tiny the little girl is - how does that weight sound? Has anyone had a pup that size that survived?? If not, then be ready for a first
This little girl is a miracle baby.....keep sending up prayers for mom and baby thumbup:
