Thank you so much LunasMomma, You are right Yorkiemom1 is amazing and she has helped me getting this far, I really apreciate her help so much!

My little baby girl Tamishia is doing much better since she has been on Yorkiemom1's formula. She has even picked up 2grams

But please continue sending thoughts and prayers this way as she still needs to get a lot stronger in order to have a healthy happy life.

Wow, you are an incredible person, I can't find the words to tell you how proud I am of you. I think of the circumstances in your country and I know how difficult it is to do what your trying to do...and yet you are doing it. So many people here don't realize how lucky we are to have immediate access to anything for our pups...and still....

I admire you, truly admire you! I hope all works out well for your pups...its a wait and see, but don't doubt yourself at all, you are doing more than most people, you are doing everything you can...

Please keep us posted, this is truly an incredible story. We are here for you.

I just wanted to update you all on the progress of little Tamishia

Thanks to the help and advice from Yorkiemom1 Tamishia is doing just a little bit better tonight. She was very dehydrated this morning and it called for an emergancy appointment to the vet for SubQ injections. Poor little Tiny princess cried so much my heart pained and my eyes filed up with tears.

Tonight she seems to be a little beter and a little bit more hydrated but she still has some way to go.

Her mommy is also doing much better now, although I feel the other pups are alittle too big for her and her milk supply for them is pretty limited. I am also supplementing them now.

Little Tamishia is taking up so much time. As she needs to be hydrated every hour and needs to be fed every 1.5-2 hours around the clock I will do what ever is needed to save this little tiny princesses life.

I will advice every body that wants to breed their dogs to be sure of it first. YES YES one does read this EVERYWHERE, but I was one of those people that spend hours on the internet, reading watching videos, following up, studiyng, etc etc. I though I was ready and could handle it. Did I handle the delivery, O yes! but did I expect what has happened this week? NOPE! Atleast if you ultimitely decide to breed make sure that you have someone experienced within reach of you to help out.

If it wasnt for yorkiemom1 I do not have a clue where will little Tamishia have been, also where her mommy wouldve been and where I ultimately wouldve been.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Yorkiemom 1 xx

Glad to hear the little girl is still hanging in there!

[Yorkiemom1]

I have to add a little something here...this lady is getting EVERYTHING I tell her she needs....she even got the Ringers to start sub-q hydration for the baby....EVEN THE VET DID NOT HAVE RINGERS, AND TOLD HER SHE COULDNT GET IT....WELL, GUESS WHAT!!!! UNBELIEVEABLE!! She is with that baby, either feeding or hydrating her, not taking her eyes off the pup, every hour around the clock, something is being done for the baby....additionally, she is now supplementing the big boys as they were dragging momma down....not producing enough for those boys!! With them getting extra supplemented feedings, they are staying full better and are not draining momma. Talida has not complained even once, and has jumped up and rushed to the vet at any time of the day or night, anytime I told her it looks like a professional eye needs to look at the baby and give professional help, she runs! She was terrified of the hydrating, she went to the vet for the vet to show her in person how to do it....she has friends that are galavanting all over the country, keeping in contact with her, getting anything she needs for that baby!!! Talida has truly gone to all ends of the earth in order to get whatever she needs for her baby. If God takes that little angel, it certainly wont be because of anything Talida did or did not do! I have seen breeders that quit trying, with many fewer obsticles than Talida is encountering, in a sparcely inhabited, practically 3rd world country, that has an entirely different attitude towards animals than we do! Y'all pray for her...she is doing soooooooo good, but she needs prayers for strength to keep this up........

Nice job Talida, I have and will continue to pray for your pups and your momma dog. Yorkiemom1 way to go above and beyond, thank you for helping Talida try and save her pup.

[msyorktown]

Yorkiemom1 you are truly the best!!! Thank you so much for helping Talida save that baby...you are heaven sent!! God bless you!!
Talida you hang in there...you have gone above and beyond to save your baby....I speak for many when I say WE are sooo very proud of you. You came to the right place for help...i will keep you and your babies in my prayers. This story had me in tears (HUGGZ) Stay strong and dont give up, your're doing great.

Prayers going out for the baby and Mom and you as well Talida.

Talida let me say, that you are doing an amazing job! Not only did you reach out, you took the advice offered. And then which is NOT common you actually thanked that person publicly for their efforts! You are one Classy Lady in my books.

I know that if we were close to you physically we would help out in every way we could. Alas we only have this board to reachout to you, and Say, what a great job you are doing. I truly commend you for your dedication, perserverance and effort on behalf of your Mom and the pups!

YorkieMom1 is also amazing in her generosity of spirt and sharing her knowledge and time with a "stranger". Which at this point you aren't a stranger to all of us here who are reading your threads.

Once the pups are grown and past the "dicey" stage, you will have time to think of the next few steps along the way of breeding.

So happy that things are working out well at this moment

Great thread, this is an example of Yorkietalk at its best! Good job everyone, and Yorkiemom, you impress me more every day!

[Yorkiemom1]

Thank you all, but I am just able to share stuff I know with someone who did everything right, and got dealt a less than perfect hand. This is for me, a case of "see one, do one, teach one".....we just tube fed her baby, via email, step by step....she watched videos on how to do it, I answered any questions and addressed here fear, and she finally felt confident enough to do it....she did it with great success, the baby tolerated it fine, and she dissolved into tears of happiness! So we have jumped another hurdle and she is able to do one more thing to help her baby survive. We are not out of the woods with this pup...she isnt gaining weight like she should be....hopefully, with more precise tube feedings, she will start t gain weight....but that is my biggest concern for her right now....

[msyorktown]

Talida I must commend you for your dedication...my thoughts and prayers are with you and your pups...

[LunasMomma]

Was thinking about you and your babies and hoping they are doing well, especially little Tamishia
