My Yorkie had a c-section 2 weeks ago 3 girls and 1 boy ! She wasnt to sure of the puppies at first either but after the Meds. where out of her system she got the hang of it. I did just as you sat with her and let the puppies nurse that seemed to keep her calm and relaxed. We also bottle fed a couple times a day for the 1st week. I was so tired after that first week but they are all doing great growing like weeds! Make sure you do your Calcium and eggs also keep them warm :thumbup: ! Congrats on your beautiful puppies! |

The puppies need to nurse as much as possible. Even if they are not getting milk, they are getting colostrum and that is so important to them at this time. The milk will come, just make sure everyone is getting a chance to nurse on the last two nipples. They will have the most milk. Put the smallest puppies on those nipples and let them nurse there for awhile. The bigger ones always find a way to knock them off so watch for that. You can tell a skinny puppy from a nice round belly puppy just by looking. If you have a skinny one, be sure it gets to nurse the most on the back teats. I'm so glad for you -- and hoping everyone will do just fine now. |

he saidto just let them try to nurse and to supplement if they start screaming more...that it may take a few days for everything to start working right. idk. im praying...all over again for a miracle |
Yorkiemama you sure have been through it! I have been following from your first post and it certainly has been an eye opening experience. Very stressful! I'm glad that you had the advice of many experienced breeders here and the support of many to help you get through this. I am THRILLED to hear that your little girl has pulled through and the babies as well! What a blessing. I can only imagine how scary and stressful all of this has been for you. Congratulations on your litter and also on your hubby coming home soon. I will continue to pray for quick healing for your girl and that she will come around and take care of her babies. She has been through a lot as well and may have a change of heart once she is feeling better. Thank you for continuing to keep us posted. |

I know you have the whelping pudding, but a scrambled egg a day, as well as the goat milk recipe I gave you. Put her on a good puppy food without soy in it. Since she had the eclampsia episode, she is prone to getting another...you'll have to be watchful. Make sure she has a meal at night. Keep her kibble bowl full |
