what's dry socket? is it just the eye drying out because its not getting properly lubricated?

Sorry to hear about mom and babies. :( You did everything you could! If I wasn't convinced not to breed, I sure am now!

Happy to report Little "Miracle" eyes have opened this afternoon...:D at 19 days old, Finally!!

thanks again everyone for your kind words and support, I will post pic's of her soon...

Glad to hear her eyes opened on their own!

Kimberly, there is always going to be "someone" who will twist whatever you say or do. They are pathetic creatures.

I have watched you first hand with these babies and DO know that you have and will continue to do all that you can for your kids. No matter how little sleep you get nor how long it takes.

For those of you who don't know, Kimberly has no qualms about questioning a vet on his treatment if she feels it is not good or has a 'gut feeling'. Just as we would do if it were our skin kids. I have witnessed this first hand, and fortunately, she was right, and she was insistant with the vet, she had to be. Her kids are dependent on her for their well being and if she doesn't question their treatment, and protect them, then who will.

Poor little Hannah. Such a horrible experience for her when in the past she hasn't missed a beat with her babies. I am glad that she is back to her normal self and that little Miracle is doing better.

It was really hard for me the night they were born, seeing their tiny little frail bodies. Such precious babies. I applaud you for your diligence and most especially your love for your kids.

Congrats to Mercedes and JJ for their robust brood.

So excited that lil Miss Miracle has decided that it is time to see the world.....

Awww now she can see her hero. What did she say?? Hey you look alittle tired?? LOL;)

Yes down with those monsters on other boards:thumbdown :thumbdown ....get a life!!

That's great news! :p I'm sure she has beautiful eyes too!

Oh Finally I bet she is so cute with her eyes open.:thumbup:

here are pics of Miracle:) and of course the Mecedes linebackers!

more...and the 4 boys:)

They are adorable. But, especially Miracle...it's great to see her doing so well.

Once again Kim's instincts came to the fore front...lil Miracle had a bit of a set back yesterday morning...breathing became labored so, she was rushed to emergency.....vet said lungs were clear, but could possibly be the beginnings of an illness...prescribed a wee bit of antibiotics...today is a new day....eating like a champ and back on track.

Thanks Mary, she is on a tiny bit of amoxy to assure she has no congestion...the vet was very concerned yesterday and said blantenly she may not make it...well here is to another Miracle she is doing great today:):thumbup:
