| Should We do anything extra? We got a new litter today. This is Sadies 2nd litter.. her 1st was just 2. This litter she had 7 this time! They are all around 4oz. Mama was 8 pounds before birth. She had 5 boys and 2 girls. They are all eating and mama seems to be doing very good. Should we feed her something extra? We give her a vit. everyday. I was just shocked at the number! |

| My yorkie came from a litter of 8 and had to be hand fed after a week because their mama developed eclampsia and almost died, which is basically too low of calcium levels. Good luck with that large of a litter Here are the signs of Eclampsia: Eclampsia is a very serious disorder but fortunately the signs are fairly easy to recognize, especially when coupled with the period of lactation. Initially, the affected animal will be restless and nervous. Within a short time, she will walk with a stiff gait and may even wobble or appear disoriented. Eventually the animal may be unable to walk and exhibit extreme leg rigidity. Body temperature may increase to over 105° F and respiration rates will increase. At this point death can occur if no treatment is given. |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | WOW! That's A LOT of babies! Good momma and grandma! I boiled a chicken for mine. When I would serve it to her, I put in some rice and let the rice soak up the juice. She loved it and the babies got FAT! Don't forget to give her calcium pills while she is nursing. Don't want her to get eclampsia.

| Wow, congrats on your new babies!! I'm not a breeder but I know just from reading things on YT that you really need to take great care of the little mama. I don't want to scare you but you should read the following threads. I just did a search on eclampsia. There were other threads as well. Large litters are a very big deal with Yorkies. Just watch her and see that she's getting the extra nutrition she needs. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ight=eclampsia http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ight=eclampsia http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ight=eclampsia Give mom and pups a kiss from Bo and I. Keep us posted on their progress. Thanks for sharing the pic.
