will that hurt?they brought a little bottle with formula, i read it should be kept in the ref., but isn't that too cold to give the puppy?they did not bring extra bottles, and like a baby I like to wash the nipple and bottle after every feeding:confused: |

You're doing a great job helping your friend. Don't give up on getting her to latch on. I would in a way flatten the teat. Get a good hold of it from an inch or so behind the nipple. Pry the mouth open and shove it all the way in there. They need it far back so they can start move it into proper position, hitting the roof of the mouth when they suck. |
Debbie, Susan,Anne and the rest are all giving you great info. All I will add is its very important for a puppy to latch on to get colostrum, even if her milk is not in yet. So keep trying :D And you are such a great friend |
I'm not a good friend, I'm just a very happy grandma:p Max is very territorial, but this time, he only wants to lay beside the box where Cloe and the baby are.I took some pic's but my camera is acting up, so will have to wait until this afternoon for my son's camera |
his next feeding will be in a 30 min. after that I'll go to petco and get my own supplies.thanks debbie for your good advise. |
well ladies...we did it!!! either the honey, the saliva, the puppy formula..I don't know,I'm sure the good thoughts worked their magic, but he finally latched on, when he sucks, I could hear him strong, but after a while he got tired, since I was not able to tell how much he had drank I tried with the formula and he wouldn't take it, his stomach looks round, so I guess he is satisfied . |
That is great news!! Yeah. Good job. (Oh and just a little late, but couldn't resist welcoming him to the world) :bigbdaypa:bigbdaypa:bigbdaypa:bigbdaypa:bigbdaypa :bigbdaypa |

Great job! |
just finished with the next feeding, I did not want to wait the 2 hrs.Some honey did the trick, I just had to guide him and he started sucking, maybe 5 -6 min.Is that enough?He did not want the bottle after mom's milk.The are going to see the vet this afternoon. |
That's plenty, he'll go to sleep and wake back up and eat if he's with mom |

Cloe's owner just came to pick them up for their vet's appointment, once they get back I'll let you know.Did not get the scale, but we'll soon find out his weight. |
3 Attachment(s) Just as I promised... 1-Baby...baby..well he doesn't have a name yet 2-Mama Cloe 3-Max I hope I did this right and it goes through |
Thanks for the pictures what a tiny precious little one. I am no waiting on vet report..:D anne. |
just found this thread! wow what a day you had!! congrats on the little guy! im glad things are going well with him now!! and he looks fat and happy! good luck with him!! :D |
wow what a story and what a thread!! Congratulations on the adorable little new fellow!! I am so glad he is doing ok. Thank you to all those on yt that helped them through this also!! |
That is so great that he is nursing now. Great pictures, pretty mom and a spunky little Max. You are doing a great job. Give yourself a little pat on the back from all of us at YT. Looking forward to updates and more pictures as he grow up. |
Cloe's owner called, the vet said they were both in good condition, he did not ask for the puppy's weight, and the vet docked his tail (the puppy's, not the owner's), isn't that too soon?he's not even 24 hrs. yet.I'll be babysitting tomorrow as well:yay_jump: |
Just found this thread... So HAPPY Everyone is doing Great!!! Beautiful Lil Family!!! |
Thanks.. I am surprised the vet did not want the puppies weight, and surprised your friend did not ask for baby to be weighed. Glad to hear all is doing well.. and surprised the vet docked his tail so soon..I guess all vets like us are very different. I always want to know what mine weigh and then I weigh them all the time...anne |
Your doing a fantastic job. Wow docked tails already? I think if it would have been me I would have waited until he was nursing better all by himself. Give him a little time to gain some weight. Well all we can do is pray for the little guy. I agree, you are a wonderful person for helping this way. |
