She got alots of good advise from several forums. Things were much better as I last heard.
Sometimes the area is too hot, bright or noisy for mom. I, always suggest a contained pen area. Heating pads are my pick..the heat lamps are stressful for a mother IMO..no where to get out of the heat. Combined with hormones she can be very uncomfortable and want to move to a cooler, darker place.
For a first time mom I keep the drapes closed and use a table lamp the first week or so. Some mommies thrive on noise and chaos, others are stressed by it.

any updates on your friend and her yorkie? is she still taking the baby and hiding it? i hope she has found a solution and i pray the babies are all doing well.

Sorry to be the one to post the bad news, but I heard the baby boy didn't make it. So so sad but the momma knew. Incredible instincts these animals have. He was only 2 oz and the others were 9 oz so I think he wasn't fully developed inside but he gave it a gallant try.

yorkiegal719 · 08-25-2005, 05:09 PM

Oh that is so sad

. But like you said Mama usually knows the best. They have the most tuned in instincts and just know when things aren't right. We sometimes can interfere and help but sometimes it's just bigger than all of us...

sad news. i dont even know your friend and her dog, but i found myself wondering about that puppy off and on for past 2 days. sorry to hear. she can find comfort in knowing that the pup is in a better place now where he is a perfect yorkie, running and playing with other animals who have passed.

It is sad, But better that he died young than to find something out later on and have to be put down. Tell your friend we are all so sorry for her.
