I'm so grateful that we have each other...

Definitely true, I know I'll still be asking questions 10 years down the road. There's always someone who knows more about something than you...

Yes he has, he's been fighting every step of the way though...he's a strong little guy. He now has enough fight to try and push away the tube when it's time to feed...haha

I wondered though...my mentor mentioned that since he was born with the placenta around his neck and fluid in his lungs that he may not have had enough oxygen to his brain, and he may have brain damage as a result. Do you think that's a possibility? What would be an initial sign that he may have a problem?

BTW Kimberly, I think you're wonderful too and give great advice! Thank you for all you do

"since he was born with the placenta around his neck and fluid in his lungs that he may not have had enough oxygen to his brain, and he may have brain damage as a result"

oh my I didnt know this, perhaps, does he still have fluid on the lungs if so has the vet given you amoxy to help this??

No, he does not anymore, and yes he is on amox. I think we're in the clear with that part, but I'm just afraid he may have suffered brain damage as a result. Let me go find the post where I talked about it...

Ok it starts on page 25 of this thread, and post #383 is where I talk about the most.

glad he is finally gaining, poor little guy has had a rough start!

I always give benebac to the new borns. Rini told me to do this a very long time ago and I have on every litter since.

No change...
Earlier her temp dipped to 98.1
But its right back up to 99.1 now
LOL...bratty doggie

Ruby's vet says she saw 5 in the xray, and we saw 5 little heartbeats on the ultrasound. So I'm assuming no surprises. She still has 6 days to go. I hope she makes it.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts.
