Miracle Babies I guess it is time to officially introduce our miracle babies. Some of you may have followed my thread in the breeder section titled "Questions about expecting mom". Little did I know when I started it that we would have so many problems. But here we are on day 6 with mom and all 4 puppies alive and doing good. These puppies are not full blooded Yorkies. Mom is a registered Yorkie and dad is a Maltese. Not sure yet if he was registered since it was done by her original owner. I just took her in when the owner was not taking care of her.
So we have 3 girls and 1 boy. Their weights and birth order are...
Girl 1 (Brown) 4.0 oz at birth -- 3.6 on day 6
Girl 2 (Black & Gray?) 3.5 oz at birth -- 3.4 on day 6
Boy 1 (Black) 4.0 oz at birth -- 4.0 oz day 6
Girl 3 (Black & Tan) 3.5 oz at birth and 2.6 day 6
All of the puppies are doing great and even got a clean bill of health yesterday from the vet. Despite my concerns for them being under weight. Especially the baby. They are all bottle feed since Momma can't nurse.
Here are a few pics for you to enjoy. |
