And yes, there are a lot of caring concerned people on here who are very helpful during a time of crisis. I know I Have found this place to be a lifesaver many times. I think the tone of this post was a little harsh. I hope that everyone who comes here to seek help will find is as welcoming as I did, not so critizing after the fact.
Stick around Princess Jersey...you will LOVE it.

Ditto !
Besides, in a moment of crisis who can have such clearance of thoughts?
She was asking for help because she needed it.
I wish people here would be a bit easy ... i am seeing a lot of frustration and offensive posts lately. That is sad.

XOXO

I promise I am not judging all by a few that I completely disagree with their comments. In retrospect, I am sure CD wished she had been more prepared but some no matter how prepared panic in the heat of the moment, especially if it is their first time. I am more than sure the majority of us here are not "experienced" breeders and we all make mistakes. It does not mean we do not love our Yorkie's more than life!! We would never purposely put them in harms way.

On a good note, my Princess Jersie had her first litter on Monday! (Pearl Harbor Day!) We successfully gave birth to 5 beautiful, healthy babies! Proud moment for me? 3rd puppy was not breathing when she was born. Jersie tried everything possible and nothing. I jumped into Momma mode and after seeing it done on TV, began giving the puppy mouth to mouth. Not even 30 seconds later the baby was breathing and I handed her back to Momma to finish what I had started! Baby number 3 is my special Angel and I named her Arizona. (Remeber Pearl Harbor) All babies are beautiful and healthy and Jersie is the best Momma EVER! (I'm prejudice of course)

CD...I'm glad your baby is great and the majority of us are here for ya anytime you need us!!

Lori, You said you jumped into Mama mode. For many people that can mean different things. You know what it means to go into that mode. That bitch should have been at the vet! She needed to go to the vets office and did not go. Do you have any idea how painful that is to sit here and know babies are dying b/c someone bred two yorkies that doesn't even know to suction their mouths?

I was online with the girl as it was happening. I lost sleep. I've cried and cried over the babies drying for no sensible reason. I have been extremely kind about it. I can assure you if you went through the same events you would feel the same. The bitch is too small. A vet wasn't on board, the lady needs education.
I read your blog. What is a SHORKIE?

I agree. The OP still has not been back on after being asked if the momma had really been to the vet. The Op said they were in contact with vet before, during, and after, but was online instead? I don't think they really saw a vet. If they did, that has got to be one of the worst vets ever.

Did the vet not explain the ins and outs of whelping, especially since this was your first time whelping a litter? Was your vet not on call for emergencies? Any good vet, would have done EVERYTHING to make sure you were ready for this. Though I was pretty confident in whelping my first litter (just recently, too), my vet went over every minute detail to make sure I was ready. Either you are just saying you went to the vet to avoid harsh criticism from us on YT, or you just need to get another vet. It doesn't sound as though this "vet" of yours did what they could to ensure the safety of your dog and her puppies. Sorry if this offends you at all, but it needed to be said. Harsh, but true.

see the bold. no answer from OP
