Gosh, I hate when I miss all the excitement. Congratulations to all involved, Cloe's owner, the OP (grandma), and to all here on YT who were able to help out with getting the little guy to latch on for his first meal. Thanks for the pictures; what a nice little family. :) Please keep us updated on his condition and progress, and yes, do get a scale and weigh him regularly to make sure that he gains weight and does not lose it. I will continue to say prayers that he continues to do well. |
I'm sure the vet took his weight, but since was Cloe's Dad who took her...you know men...(nothing personal)he wanted to make sure they were both fine, and did not pay attention to details.Max is going around the house looking for them, he even checked under the bed:animal36 |

Im soooooooooooooo glad you got on here and found people to help you! wtg berny, deb, and everyone else.... I cant wait to see more pics!!!! and I know who to go to if I am EVER in this situation |
Good morning everyone:).What a difference a day makes, the baby looks so much stronger than yesterday, they both had a good night, he is drinking from mom and the bottle, since I went to pick them up early and they'll spend the day here I'll try to give only mom's milk, even if it takes a little longer.I'll also try to check the vet's papers to find out the baby's weight.They have a few names in mind, but I think they are going with LUCKY, he really is a lucky little baby, so that name will fit him just right. I'll report some more during the day, but before that...coffee anyone??? |
I'm so glad everything is going better :) |
Good job. Everything seems to be coming along just fine. Life just doesn't always hand us a text-book case, but that doesn't mean that it can't result in a happy ending. Best wishes. |
So that you ladies don't forget about me ...I have a question, Baby Lucky has not pupped today, and he has been eating from mom every 1 or 1.30, hard to say how much, but often, unless Cloe has cleaned him, he has not pupped, or peed.Is this normal? And btw the vet. did not weight him:eek: |

Couldn't have done it without you all, I do appreciate it. I have yet another question, Cloe is eating Caesar dog food, the one with the maltese picture on them,once a day, a left the food out for her, but she did not eat, I think she should be eating something more nutritional, they bought some cottage cheese tonight.Is that enough for her? Baby Lucky spent the entire day in my house, and all he had was mom's milk, no bottle, so really worries me that she may not be getting the proper food. |
Update on Baby Lucky Baby Lucky doing well, keeping warm and eating from mom, mom looks tired:( I don't think she is getting well feed .I mixed some evaporated milk with her food and some Royal Canine. |
Mom should be eating a good puppy food. If she won't eat, boil her a boneless chicken breast. Cottage cheese is good too. I often have to hand feed for a couple days. If you do a search on here, you can also find a recipe for a whelping pudding that will be good for her. make sure she is eating well too :) |
She carries the puppy in her mouth and takes him all over the house,I don't know if it is because she misses her owners and wants to go home, today is the third day she spends here, her owners come for her in the afternoon.I afraid she is going to drop the baby on the floor and I do not have carpet. |

Do you have a childs playpen??? You could put them in there and make sure she doesn't jump out (cover it) good luck !!!!! :) |
Do they bring her bed when she comes to you? She needs to find a place at your house where she can relax. It is stressful for her to be trying to move the baby around. Also hard on the puppy. Make her a little den where it is quiet and private so she can settle down. Absolutely get the whelping pudding recipe and make it. Mom's love it and it is just the pick-me-up they need for nursing. Good quality puppy kibble (I use Royal Canin too), boiled or grilled chicken breasts, cottage cheese and maybe some chicken broth. Hand feed her, start with the chicken and get her interested in the kibble mixture. Put Karo syrup, just a teaspoon, in her water and mix it up. This gives energy too and makes her more likely to keep drinking enough water. Good luck. |
They have a secluded place and I made a nice bed for her with one of those plastic under bed storage boxes with towels and the electric heating pad, they go home in that same box, it's just the moving from house to house what has her like that |
Oh, now that you mentioned it, I've been changing her towels for clean ones everyday, I guess that also added to her stress, poor little girl. |

But three weeks is not a bad age.. I would cancel if any younger then that.. anne |
I know, and feel the same way, but her owners go to work and don't get home until late afternoon, I live 1/2 block away from them and I'm the grandmother:D, so I rather have them both over and look after them, until the baby is a little bit older, I would gladly keep them here for a while but I understand the miss their girl.This long weekend they are leaving for the keys, and will be taking mom and baby with them, so at this point the baby has more miles than hours after birth. |
Oh Wow. Any chance they would leave her with you? Mom could get so stressed out that she could lose her milk. Keeping her nutrition and hydration up are a lot of work on the road. I know, I've traveled with mine at 3 weeks also. It was way more than I thought it would be, and hard on everyone. Don't they understand this is a living being that needs to be cared for.... sorry just a little frustrating that people are so cavalier about these little helpless guys. Do your best to talk them out of taking the puppy. Its time they acted like grown ups. I do appreciate your position and that you are doing everything you can. Bless you. |
What can I say???? It is out of my hands |
I wouldn't suggest taking the mom and baby on a vacation. My babies don't even go out of the house (just to the vet) OR have people see them until they have their vaccines at 8-9 weeks old. :eek: I feel for you, I know its out of your hands :) Maybe suggest to them?? |

Your little one is precious! What a fantastic job -- from the time you asked for help until now you have been a fantastic YTer - you overlooked the unpleasant comments from a few and and stuck around for the wealth of good advice from our kind hearted breeders who understand that when you need help you need HELP! And the end result is a healthy precious pup!!!!! It made my heart soar seeing pics of your darling little Grand-Doggie-Son. Isn't he incredible?????? And thaks to your dedicated and loving care, you have a precious little pup that will bring an untold amount of love and joy to some lucky person. |
That was absolutely the sweetest posting I have read on here... Quote:
What a big heart you have to help with this little guy......although I dont breed, I know how stress effects the body, and mother's milk.....that would be very detrimental to the puppy if he cannot get milk......and fatal if found out to late...... Thanks Grandma, but remember.....Grandma's are always right....... |
Thank you all, and no,I would not take any comments in a wrong way, or personal, I know everybody is trying to help.I'm very fortunate to have found YT and all of you, so to keep you ladies in your toes..here goes my question of the day, latching on has become an understatement, now he holds on sucking so hard that I can hear him, I know she has milk because I can see the milk in his mouth, but just wont let go, how long can I keep nursing? If it was up to him, he will drinking all day!wait until you see the new pictures, puppy smell is the best:p |
