I'm so sorry for your loss. You did your best but sometimes that's all we can do. When Sissy lost her 2 babies the day they were born, she too went crazy but I waited until she went outside then I took them away so she didn't see where they went. She cried all night long and it just broke my heart. I even tried the stuffed animal thing and even rubbed it with the pups scent, but that didn't work at all. She's too smart. I spent the next day on the phone calling all the vets in the area to see if one might have a client that had a new born yorkie litter. I wanted to get her a baby to care for so bad. But no such luck. I couldn't stand the desperate look on her face. It took 2 days but she finally started to come back to her old self.
Right now Sissy is a substitute mommy and even though it had been only 3 weeks from her loss, her milk had dried up. She took over motherly care of her mama's litter. We lost her mama, Reggie, eight days after her litter of 6 was born. She sleeps with them, she cleans them, and she even lets them nurse off of her even though there's nothing there. She is as protective of this litter as if it was her own. And Sissy's daughter, Roxie has also got into the act. They are now sharing the care. It's amazing how nature can work.
I wish you luck. I think it's much harder on us that it is on them.
