sounds like you have been up working hard. Hate to hear you lost one. But hopefully the other will make it. Keep trying and hopefully he will change. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You need all the strength you can get through this. Good Luck |
Oh I am so sorry you lost one. I would imagine that you also had this one checked at the same time as the one you lost. Ask your vet to teach you how to tube feed. Remember that this one will need to eat as often as possible, so keep trying to get him to eat. If he eats only a little then stops, do what you can to stimulate him, then try to get him to eat more. Give him Karo syrup on the tongue every time if that helps him eat. |
help i am nursing a 3 day old now and exhausted myself...sorry to here you lost one...the mother is not my dog...but he is the daddy...mommie was not doing her job and killed two of them and i saved the last....i with the owner would of called me soon than she did and all three would be here. i am musling the mother and putting he baby on and timming her feedings...the first 72 hour i did this ever hour and now she is every 2 or 2.5 on feeding. if you pull the back of it's neck and the skin stays up easily than the baby is dehydrated and need to have fluids also. heating pads are great...but i use a heat lamp that gives an all over temp instead of it laying in one position on the heat. i put a small thermomiter in there also to regulate temp. if you need help or just to chat feel free to email me at triciahaug@yahoo.com i'm up every two hours latching baby to mommie. good luck hun and i feel for ya...i'm right there with right now. tricia |
