Most people would have lost the mom or pups by now. She was shocked and impressed that all the pups are alive and thriving. Of course, she is an advocate for spay/neuter and preaches this everywhere she goes when the opportunity arises. It is unfortunate that so many people, like Bella's original owner, are ignorant to the repercussions of pregnancy mishaps.
Again, cheers to you for all you have done. And please reconsider letting us help you in any way we can to offset the costs you have unexpectedly incurred caring for this lucky little yorkie family. |
Believe me, everyone here has helped me out with all the support, advice and prayers. I owe you guys for helping me get through this. Uncle Sam is going to foot some of the bills and my job has agreed to work around the few hours I am available until I can get something lined up. Things will work out for us in due time. Right now I just want to get the all clear sign that everyone is out of danger.
Thank you again for the offer but we need prayers more than we need anything else. We are close to 48 hours post op and that is when we are upgraded to a 50% survival rate. Not out of the woods yet but each hour gets us closer. We do have a vet appointment in the morning so hopefully we will continue to get good news. Did have to remove mom from pups for awhile today. She was just getting so worked up in trying to take care of them that I felt she was not letting her body have the rest that it needed. Her energy was being used to care for the puppies when it should be used to fight the infections. So now she is sitting in my lap as I type, sleeping. Momma does know what is best. LOL Will let her have limited interaction for the time being. Must get ready to feed the troops. They will want dinner on time. LOL Otherwise I will not hear the end of it.
