I know of a breeder who had this happen on one of her puppies and he died shortly after birth.. I'm wishing the best for your little boy!

Sugar's Mom · 03-13-2008, 09:03 AM

Thanks guys. He doesn't seem any different from the others at this point but he is distended. BTW, we had three girls and two boys. I will post pictures in the nursery when things wind down and I figure out where we are here.

aww congrats on the puppies

sorry about that boy. my friends niece just had a baby (human) with that and it took him 2 months of being in the hosptial before things were working the way they should. first he wasnt eating then not pooping. he just got out of the hospital tuesday. so i know for humans it can be a long hard road.

So sorry to hear about this one. Asking about being PTS, is what I would've done also. Especially if it may be just a matter of time. I'm surprised thhe vet was taken aback. Looks like he'd understand not wanting needless suffering.

I have no experience with this. It sounds like "a freak accident" something that just happens if you know what I mean. My prayers are with your baby.

Congratulations on the new babies. I'm praying for your little guy.

oooo, I'm so sorry to hear the little guy is having a hard time. Hope he pulls thru. And congrats on the rest of your healthy babies.

It can happen...but fortunately it is a seldom occurance.
Just about every long time breeder I have ever known has had a pup or two with this condition at birth....I have never heard of any live..infact the vets I know won't do anything but put them down to save a slower painful death fromi nfection...it is all but impossible to place intestines back into the cavity 100% bacteria free..so they should be on an antibotic if it is tried.....but this situtation could be very different.

I hope he will be okay

I am sorry your little boy is having this problem. I will say a prayer for him. I am glad mom and the other babies are doing well.

I am losing him. I have fought for his life all day, trying to potty him and keep him warm and just a few minutes ago, he started gasping again. I warmed him up and rubbed him enough to stop his gaping. I put him back with his mama who is holding him right between her front paws. it will just be a matter of minutes. he was all but gone this last time and very cold. She had never pushed him away so i will let her hold him. Actually, I think he is already gone. i just don't have the heart to take him from her right now. I am so heartbroken. I have done everything in my power but surely, there must have been something else. That's why I posted here. Well, Thanks

I am so sorry you lost the little guy.

You did everything you could.

I have seen a few here on YT that were born with their intestines on the outside, they lived a few days, one even lived a week or two but they never made it.

Hugs to you, momma and the babies!!

so sorry to hear about your little guy. I think thats the hardest part of breeding, when they haven't even had a start at life.
Congrats on your other babies.

trini&coco · 03-13-2008, 01:45 PM

Dee, I am just reading this now...I am so sorry
