Mama wants nothing to do with her babies! What do we do? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

That explains the infection issue then.
It's a good thing she got spayed.
Five girls? What are the chances of that?

YorkieShadow · 03-09-2009, 09:18 PM

Keep a good eye on her when she wakes up, if she didnt want any thing to do with them earlier ( I know she was in pain) But she is gonna be very sore from the C-section and spay and with them feeding on her she may wake up and try and attack or even kill them. heard of this happening before. so keep a good eye on her. hope all goes well. sorry you lost one.

~Poor Princess ...no wonder she was freaking out. How scary for you to go thru that, maybe you and hubby can take turns watching them and mommy to make sure she nurses and isn't growling at them.
Good Luck and keep us posted!!

just checking in to see how mama and the babes are doing now.

jcwuvzu · 03-10-2009, 06:11 AM

Well, YT'ers, it's a new day and things are a bit different today. I was up almost all night, everytime I heard a peep, had to go kneel by the box and put pups next to mom, they seem as dumb as she is, I put them next to a juicy lookin teat, and they won't leave their mouth there, haha, I am sure they will all get it. Last night I only had one time I saw them all latched on at once, but I guess it's hard to make room for five at once.

Princess is acting more like a mom, still isn't crazy about nursing them, but is licking them A LOT, and is not growling anymore. She doesnt seem to be very protective over them tho, when the chihuahua sticks her head through the door to sniff puppies, she just looks at her. Then the chihuahua growls at the german shepherd mix we have when SHE tries to get a whiff. It's kind of funny. For the most part I keep them out of there, But I did want to see if there would be a reaction. Maybe that will kick in later.
I havent had a chance to pick up a food scale yet, I tried to borrow one, but no one had one, so I am leaving hubby with the babies so I can get one, I want to make sure no one loses weight.
Still no pics of puppies, hubby bought one of those Kodak easy shares, and it doesnt want to let him transfer pics to our computer.

Mom is still pooping dark green blackish poop, that is normal, right?

sarahcals · 03-10-2009, 06:18 AM

It sounds like you had a rough night! But congrats on your 5 little babies. I hope we can see pictures soon! I have heard stories about kodak cameras not being easy to transfer pictures from, but can't be of any real help there.

DanielleAllen · 03-10-2009, 06:18 AM

Really good to hear that her and the babies are alright! Also glad to hear that she is starting to take care of them. I hope you are able to take a nap today from you lake of sleep last night. I can't wait to see pictures of the little ones....

ARCHIE · 03-10-2009, 06:19 AM

Mom has been threw so much I am happy she is now doing much better.
COngratulations on the four little girls and I am sorry she lost one.
Can't wait for pictures.

jcwuvzu · 03-10-2009, 06:23 AM

By the way, I just wanted to say thank you for all the love and support throughout this whole process. It would have been rough all on my own. Even though you are people I have never met, I can still feel that you all care, as we all are CRAZY for our babies. Thank you so much, especially since I know I shouldnt have even done this in the first place. We really should leave it up to the breeders who know what they are doing. And not one person has judged me or said one mean word to me. That means a lot, when I really did need help. Like I have said before, these arent show quality, cant be papered, but are so, so loved, and already have loving homes. All I want is their health and happiness. And never again for us! But I am so in love with dogs, if I could quit my job today and figure out something to do with dogs (something fun, not a vet!) I would do it in a heartbeat. I just don't have a clue. Or the money, lol! All I do have is love for them, not just yorkies, but all dogs. (But my yorkie stole my heart, can ya tell

)

We got a fifth one, so we have five girls! My daughter called and said since we get to keep one, I have to name her maggie. I told her I dont know which one that would be, but I guess one of them is now named Maggie!

FlDebra · 03-10-2009, 06:36 AM

I just read through your whole thread at once and am happy for the turn around. Sounds like things are starting to go a little smoother for you, new momma and puppies. Take care of your girls! (And try to catch a little rest for yourself, if you can.)

Best wishes to all!

Lou · 03-10-2009, 12:08 PM

What a saga! We ought to make everyone that "thinks" they may want to breed their little female read this thread! And it isn't over yet!

I am so happy that things are turning toward a good ending though. You did a great job!

sdtrippe · 03-10-2009, 12:53 PM

Yep it is a hard job I've had two litters and was sitting there with both litters( to help if needed).Glad eb is doing fine....I'll continue watch for updates...

I'm glad everything is going better. I had a first time mom terrified of her puppies and had to hold her down for the pups to nurse. That only lasted for 1 day and then she loved them. Hope you get some sleep.
