A miracle has just occurred! Mom is in the bed with the babies!!!! She has just potied all of them, cleaned their faces and they are snuggled around her!!!!!!!!!!! Just contacted vet and he said she can try to nurse if she wants to. Oh how GOD is good to us!!!!!!!!!

Wow! This picture is worth a thousand words!! God Bless you for all you have done for this little mama and her babies! I will keep all of you in my prayers!

I believe it with my whole heart. After all we have been through and still standing here today with a mom and 4 babies. Not out of the woods yet but there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel.

It is just great, After all shes been threw she has not forgot about her babies, I myself at this time wouldnt let her nurse just because it takes so much out of mom and shes just now comming around after 2 surgeys, You wouldnt want her to go back down hill, Plus shes been on a lot of meds, that you wouldnt want pups to get, Vet may say let her try to nurse but If she were my baby, Id want her better for a few days befor trying to nurse, Again we all have our own ways, And you are the one who has been there by her side, Do what you feel is best for her, As you have been making those life or death choices and seem to be doing a great job at keep a sick little girl alive, I do hope and pray she keeps doing well. LOVE THE PIC,
Your FL YT FRIEND

also after reading the morning post, I understand the woman you got Bella from has no money and cant help with that, But cant they atleast help with feeding the pups? I wouldnt give Bel back even if they paid me every dollar back after everything youve been threw, Shes found a better home, a better human, (My little ones name is Bella also) lol And Iam sure little Bela doesnt even miss them after everything youve done for her!!!!

Well nursing may not be an option for us. Tried to see if she had anything and nothing came out. As long as she is being a mom to them, I will continue to feed them.

As far as the owner goes, after all she has done for this dog I would NOT TRUST her with these puppies. NO WAY No, she will not be going back to her. We already have a bond and I can't let her go. She has a forever home her with me now. And I may even keep one of the puppies. LOL They are just too cute.

Belladonna1 · 02-10-2011, 05:12 AM

just to let you know my Bela is nursing right now and I can squeeze her nips and nothing will come out, I have to pull from the top of the breast like milking a cow up and down and then roll the nip between two fingers and squeeze to get milk, When pups suck they put the feet on mom and pull the breast while sucking, I dont blame you about the past owner of Bella, She didnt know when the breeding took place, the sire of the pups, This tiny girl had no bussiness even getting preg, I hope you find someone to help, I give my Bella a tumbs aday to help[ with her milk supply and feed her puppy food,

TexasKat08 · 02-10-2011, 05:16 AM

I was wondering if after too many days mom would even be able to produce milk. Nursing is what continues the milk flowing after it comes in. What does the vet say about this?

BonBon · 02-10-2011, 05:23 AM

I had to rush straight here this morning and check in for updates. I'm so happy I'm in tears!! Momma looks so beautiful curled up with her babies - it breaks my heart to think of all she's been through. Your vet sounds AMAZING! If you get the chance, give him a huge thank-you hug from YT.

Belladonna1 · 02-10-2011, 05:24 AM

this is true as well she may not have milk do to not nursing after pups were born, but if the pups can try to nurse she may be able to regain her supply by stimulation, Some do not but its worth a shot if she wants momma to breast feed, and vets says its safe, Then she can put pups on the nip and what will be will be, pups may not take to the breast after bottle feeding, There are many things in play right now with her and pups, My advise would to be, keep bottle feeding at this time, Just to give momma a break, Shes been threw so much the past few days and needs to build her strength.

Sbyork · 02-10-2011, 06:00 AM

All sounds like great news
There is an herbal supplament that allows even a woman who adopts to produce milk, so anything is possible.
It is totally safe to use in dogs, I will try to get the name and Sara call me for it. I am in NYC for the shows but will call and get it from a friend.
Again, for all you doubters, it is TOTALLY safe and easy to give and they will smell like maple syrup.
This is from 30 yrs experience and going to every possible seminar vet confrence I possibliy can.
I actually had one of my girl take a litter and nurse them and she had not had babies for about 2 yrs. With God anything is possible.
The best possible case for these babies is for mom to nurse them for their general health and Mom needs her babies. She showed that when she got back in with them!!!! Such a sweetie

You are about a 3-4 hour drive from me so I don't know if it would work. If she isn't nursing by then and you have no other option I can try to help.

Is anybody closer? Maybe a couple anybody's??

bellababy08 · 02-10-2011, 06:29 AM

Woooohoooo so happy Momma has made it thru...and when I looked at the pic of momma and babies I started crying, what a wonderful pic to see....and what beautiful babies you have

I would never ever let her go back to that owner never for no amount of money, those are your babies...they need you and you need them

I agree if your Vet said it was ok for her to nurse I would let her nurse...if he didn't think it was safe I'm sure he would have told you no...trust him he hasn't let you down yet and from the sounds of it he is not gonna..and from the looks of that pic she wants to nurse and take care of her babies...just remember she needs to be on a good puppy food 4 times a day feedings and get a calcium supplement from your Vet if he hasn't gave you one already.

Good job sweetie...hang in there...and {{hugs}} to you and lots of puppy kisses to momma and babies.

Been following and I am so happy that little momma is coming around. I am even more happy that you have been keeping strength, see prayers do get answered. I hope someone can come and help you when you go to work. I wish I was there. Maybe someone from here who lives near you can offer their assistance, God knows you need it.
