Prayer Request May be Losing My New Mom
 

I am just heartbroken as I write this...and any advise would be greatly appreciated. On Wed my little female went into labor. She is about 4 3/4
pounds. She did great with the first puppy delivered it without any problems.
Then she started pushing for the second little pup and started vomiting. I have heard this can be normal but I had never had this happen with any of my females?...So I was very concerned. Luckily I an only about 3-5 minutes from my Vet and then did see little feet coming.....so while rushing her to the car she started vomiting just uncontrolablely and making a crying sound while doing. I was at the Vet within 3 minutes and they pulled the puppy but were not able to save it. They sent her home and the vomiting should stop and if not to bring her back in....well the vomiting after getting home was not stopping with the crying...so I rushed her back in. She has been there since Wed and when I went for my vist yesterday she looked horrible and lifeless...not even knowing me. So far the xray, sonogram of her unterus shows nothing and they are giving her fluids but her blood sugars are dropping and they cannot get her stable. It does not look good and my heart is simply breaking. I do not know if I can ever have another litter if something happens to her. SO PLEASE PRAYERS FOR HER AND ANY ADVISE ON WHAT ELSE THEY MAY CHECK FOR WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED?

I am so sorry you are going thru this. I have never heard of something like this before. You mentioned her sugars are dropping and she is at the vet? Can they not put something in her iv to raise her sugars and keep her hydrated? I am praying for you and your little one. Sorry I don't really have any advice for you.

She has been on IV Fluids since she went in and just worsening. I know they are Lactated Ringers but I would hope they have some Dextrose with them...I will ask today when the Vet calls me but so holding my breath as did not look good yesterday. My knees were so weak and I could not stop the tears. THe staff was very good...but does not stop the way it feels to be losing a Mom. Another prob is my orig Vet was off Fri, Sat, Sun, and Monday.....so the attending Vet while nice seemed a little scared to do more tests. I noticed a big note on the cage stating my Vets name and to call HER.... So my thinking is I am so close to my Vet the others are a little scared to proceed without her permission. She has even stated to me they need to add a wing to the clinic for my Yorkies :) as in there it seems weekly with dentals, and mostly healthy dog care. At this point I have not stopped praying so all prayers needed. Thank you so for your support.

praying!

This is heartbreaking. Prayer headin your way.

Keeping her in my prayers.

That is so sad. Prayers that your little momma can get passed this and back to her puppy.

Sending prayers your way. Wish I had some advice for you, but I'm at a loss.

Sending prayers. Please keep us updated.

My Vet called and the first thing that was said is that he did not have good news......my mind started clouding as I knew in my heart after seeing my precious baby girl yesterday what he was going to say. He told me she had passed away this morning. I think I may be in shock just feel horrible.
I do not know if I can continue to breed another litter. Going to have to do some serious soul searching as I look around at all my little precious faces looking up to me to always do right by them and never put them in harms way.....The surviving little puppy is now 4 days old and sat up feeding and could see she is getting stronger a little each day. I will continue to do all I poss can and try to get her over the hump......but way so heartbreaking when looking at her now to know it took a life to give a life.
I really do not know what to do from here as this is honestly something I do not know that you ever get over. Thank you for all your prayers and please continue to pray for the baby. We are both going to need the support.

I'm sorry. My heart breaks for your loss. Sending prayers for you and the little puppy.

First of all, I am very sorry for your loss. I am a breeder as well and I don't know what I would do if I ever lost a mom.
I think, if I were you, I would want to have a necropsy done on your poor little mom to see if it could give you any clue as to what was happening with her.
The only experience I have had with blood sugar and pregnancy was with a girl that we could not stabilize a low blood sugar about 1 week prior to her due date. Her main symptom was vomiting, every 5 minutes or so, she could keep nothing down, not even water. After 24 hours on a dextrose drip and not being able to get her sugars up, we took the pups by c-section at 56 days. Luckily all pups lived but that was not my main concern, it was for the mama. In our case, as soon as the pups were born her blood sugar levels returned to normal immediately after the c-section.

So sorry to hear about your mommy dog. Is this Rainey by chance?? If so, we were praying like mad over on FB for her. What a heartbreaker! I hope the little puppy will be ok. If this isn't Rainey, then there was another mommy yorkie that had the exact same thing happen and she passed this morning. SO SAD!!

I am so sorry you lost your little mamma. it is very sad when these kind of things happen. I wish you good luck with the 4 day old baby.

i could never be a breeder for reasons like this. :(

I would not breed again until I got a better idea of what happened. Did the vet do a necropsy? How was her physical condition before breeding and leading up to the whelping? Was there an infection, fever..was her stool negative before breeding? I would want a smear taken from other bitches to check for any infections or viruses..herpes etc...just to be safe.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Omg I'm so sorry I'm crying right now I am so so sorry I don't even know what to say :(

I am so sorry about your loss, prayers are with you, good luck with your little one.

aww
 

omg..(tearing)...I am so sorry for the pain you are going through . That is so sad and devastating. I know you loved your little momma very much. My prayers are with you. Only time can heal and you will know if you have the strength to breed again. Just focus on that little baby who needs you right now more then anything... :( so sorry

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. Maybe someone has a nursing mama nearby to help you.

so very sorry for your loss, sending healing thoughts for your hurt.... take care of her baby she gave you...

My heart is aching right now for you and the baby. Losing a precious family member is completely devastating. I will pray for and the baby.
I have a sister that lives just outside Charleston, WV. and she's been taking in pets of all kinds that even Vets. give up on and she's never had one to die on her. She's a fantastic caregiver. If you feel you need some advice I'll let you know how to contact her.

I'm so sorry :(

RIP lil\' one

I\'m so terribly sorry! Breeding is not easy and only you know whether you can deal with this kind of heartbreak. I hope your new baby is able to give you some measure of comfort.

The support and prayers I have gotten here on Yorkie Talk is of others who their Yorkies are their life is sooooooooooooo comforting. Thank you all so much...... You are all so wonderful when my heart is breaking.
I cannot seem to stay off the forum as you all understand. My Vet did do every test under the book...blood work was not that bad the first day is what I do not understand?....fecals, smears, sonograms , xrays showed nothing. I feel in my heart I saw it when it happend and just went down hill from there and the SEVERE VOMITING STARTED......WITH THE HORRIBLE CRYING IT WILL HAUNT ME FOREVER!....
Is is poss she ruptured something?....and the sonogram, and xray did not show this?
I was a Vet Tech myself for 4 years...and just never saw anything like this....as she was not even stable enough to do very much of anything as far as a surgery to look..as the Vet said they had to get her stable and they could not do...and my Vet is the best.

I too want to extend my condolences for your loss!:(

May your lil\' Momma rip somewhere over the :rbyorkie:

I am so very sorry for your loss. I know the feeling of losing a wee little one, but I just cannot imagine the horror of losing a beloved mommy. I will keep you and your new little one in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart is breaking over the loss of your precious mommy. I am praying for you and your baby. God be with you and hold you so close during this difficult time. I am so sorry!!!!

I\'m very sorry to hear about the loss of your girl.
I hope the little one does OK.
