That's funny.. not too long ago I got caught too. Someone told me how much shredded pineapple to use for the poop problem and I"m asking shredded? I've never seen shredded, wth? Someone else had to point out 'crushed'. DUH!

It seems that you got my suggestion the wrong way ... anyways, i happen to have a lot of experience with c-sections, small and large dogs as well... family of breeders so get 3 generations of experience and end up on me... anyways, when i suggested the a/d food it was just to avoid the stomach upsets the pudding can cause. The pudding works wonders for the whelping moms that had free delivers, but the c-section mommies are more delicate. anyways, you take any advice you think will suit better for your situation, but if you use the a/d food will increase her milk production considerably and it is very easy to digest . Of course you do not have to try it if you do not want to but tons of experience had proven to me that it is what works the best on that situation. I even tried "recovery" once per my vet's suggestion... not as good as the a/d for the first couple weeks. I saw you asking about the cottage cheese to increase milk production and avoid eclampsia... we will see different opinions on this here, but my experience is that may cause a through up here and there following a c-section , so not what i do. Of course whatever dry food or food you are feeding would be supplemented by the a/d , it does not need to be given by itself, although it is what i do for the first 4 days following a c-section, except for large breeds that eat a lot so we mix... but i have no large breeds, i just help a friend here and there when i can. Anyways, the puppies look plump and healthy , now it is only a matter of keeping everyone going . XOXO

| ![]() just checking in. Everyone is doing really well. Mom is all perky and seems back to herself, and is taking very nice care of the pups, keeping them clean, laying with them without being placed to do so. They all go to the vet on Monday for weigh checks, tail docketing will post weights on all when we get back. |

| ![]() I can't read through this. This is not an accident, it's intentionally being cruel to a helpless innocent tiny little girl. They are not stuffed animals! Have any of them died? Where did the parents come from? |

Tails can be docked 20 min after puppies are born or from day 2 to day 7 depending on the situation, between days 2 and 5 ideal to do tails and dewclaws. It varies from the preference of who is doing it. After day 10 it should not be done as it may cause damage to the peripheral nerves on the vertebrae, but still can be done with the help of rubber bands ( not that i recommend it ) , it is a painful process that can take up to 7 days . If all is well there is no point on not doing it on the right days it can safely be done. XOXO

1. She was bred on purpose. She wasn't spayed, she wasn't protected. You purposely allowed her to get pregnant. You knew she was in heat, you put an intact dog (s) with her. 2. If you have a yorkie puppy, you should know her weight. Especially if she is pregnant or just had puppies. You should have a scale. Weight is not like blood work, it's not something you need a vet tech's help with. Any responsible yorkie mom can give you an idea of how much their yorkie puppy weights. She is a baby herself. 3. Responsible yorkie moms don't have intact dogs and bitches living as PETS. This is not healthy, it's not good for the bitch nor the dog. I'm more put off by her age than her weight, as bizzare as it may be. See, I think of how new yorkie moms feel about having a new puppy. Maybe I could accept you not knowing about the size threatening her life because you bred big dogs. But the fact hat you didn't even allow her to go through one heat, not one much less two. You knew she was too small to breed. You wanted her to be pregnant. But you did not love her enough to think of how it will effect her. Now that you've robbed her of her own childhood she will be changed forever. You forced all this on her. Little girls her age are playing with toys today having fun with their families, look at what yours is doing. That photo is heartbreaking. She's not even 1 yrs old, 2.4 lbs? You don't even know anything about the breed yet. You have to be a parent before a breeder. Why her? Why hasn't anything been mentioned about neutering the dog that is intact? I just can't accept this. She is a baby, a tiny baby. | |

Goats Milk and Distilled water and a bit of Karo. Nothing else for supplementing pups. Goat's Milk is the closests thing to mothers milk. However, you must administer Benebac a pro biotic anytime you're changing/adding puppy food. It should also be administered to the dam. There is a whelping pudding recipe for moms and of course can be used at weaning time. It's also a sticky in this section. Both are my recipes and my mentor's recipes and so on and so on......

Also, what hasn't been mentioned here is that pups shouldn't have their tails/dew claws removed unless the pup is close to 7 ounces. This has to do with their ability to adequantely maintain their blood sugar levels.

| ![]() 3 to 5 days, depending on the weight of the pups. That's the deciding factor. However, if there is a premature litter, it can be done up to 7 days.
