[Yorkiemom1]

Is the baby having bowel movements? Has momma been feeding him or have you? Does momma care for him and stimulate him to potty? Is he being kept warm and out of drafts, with warm formula if you are doing the feeding.....sounds like he has stopped digesting nourishment that is going in, with his little bloated belly. Does he have active bowel sounds? Years ago, when I first got into breeding, before I learned to tube feed, before I learned about "fading puppy syndrome".....I was loosing babies to something that exhibited symptoms like this....one of my mentors, a breeder/shower/judge living in Australia, a very well known lady named Jane Harvey, told me to get probiotics into each feeding....she had me add live culture yogurt to each feeding.....but that was after it was established there was no intestinal malformation that was causing baby to swell and bloat.....I really wish I could be more help....sometimes these little darlings just "fail to thrive" and you cant stop the slide downhill. I would answer the questions I asked in the beginning of my post, and go from there with help from your vet. Does this vet KNOW Yorkies? You may do better with an ER vet or a specialist.....you are going to have to decide how much you are wanting to spend to POSSIBLY save this little soul. First and foremost, you will need to know if there is a birth defect that is coming to play here....if this baby has a birth defect in his bowels or stomach, I am not sure you are going to be able to save him.....if you can assertain that there is no birth defect, then you attack the problem medically and you are going to have to partner with a very knowledgable vet or team of vets. I am praying for your baby and you......
