My heart goes out to you. All the best!!! |
Yorkiemom1 is right you need to tube feed this puppy. I would recommend taking her in to your vet and having them do a tubefeeding for you. If this pup has any chance of surviving you need to tube feed her. Her stomach should look like it is overfull. I have had a pup that weighed 1.5ounces at birth and without the tube feeding she would have never made it. She just celebrated her 2 year birthday last month. |
wrong icon I feel bad. I used the wrong icon on my post. I'm not angry... I'm sad. I'm 61 years old and have a hard time with some of the computer and text stuff.. |
How is the little one doing? |
tiny newborn..needs your prayers She's had no real change, mom is nursing her other baby just fine but this one won't latch on and mom ignores her. I have her with me now and don't let her out of my site.Trying my best to keep her alive. It's in Gods hands..she needs your prayers. |

You need to have this baby INSIDE your bra....she needs the warmth and stimulation of your body....you MUST tubefeed this baby, and you must use one of the formulas ....this baby can not survive on liver water.....you can save this baby but you must step up your efforts and throw it into high gear...this baby is survivable, but not on the track she is placed on now. |
Don't make yourself sick over this-- You're doing your best. Some can't be tube fed. Some babies just have multiple serious defects and you can only do your best. You're keeping her warm, turning and stimulating her, feeding her what she'll accept. That's good enough. Personally, I've never saved a weakling with tube feeding and may never try it again. When a puppy is that sick I think tubing is a big long shot and may not be worth the additional suffering. Good luck. I know the pain. |

I must be exceptionally blessed....I have not lost a baby that was failure to thrive, and I tube feed ANY baby that is incapable of "latching on", as well as any baby the mother abandons....as I can not stand the thought that baby starved to death. If there is multiple organ failure, then the baby will die regardless, but it wont be because I did not give that precious, innocent soul the nourishment it needed. If there are obvious malformations or deformaties that are going to prevent a babys survival, then yes, I will have the baby euthanized, because I do not believe in prolonging the suffering.....but I can not with clear conscience, justify in MY mind, allowing my babies to starve to death. I have saved numerous babies that just were pushed away by littermates, or did not suckle for whatever reason, babies that would have died if I had not fed them....that are living strong happy lives today......I never assuem there is a problem that is going to claim the baby's life, I brought that baby into the world, and I believe it is my responsibility to use whatever control over the situation God gives me, to try to save that baby. If God wants that baby back, He will take it, regardless of what I do...especially something as simple as tubefeeding a starving baby. I will leave this...... |

tiny newborn I lost my tiny baby. I feel like some of you either didn't read all my post and think I didn't do everything possible to save this puppy. I did not let her starve, how could you say that? I have been with her every minute since her birth. I tried tube feeding her many times. I can't force her to swollow the tube. She did ok with a eye dropper, so that's what I used. I pottied her, kept her warm. I did keep her inside my shirt or on a heating pad to keep her warm. I checked on her every few minutes.I gave her formula, pedilite, and nutri cal drops.I held her while she was wrapped warmly in a tiny blanket.I prayed for her.I stayed in the same room with her day and night. I know I did everything possible to keep her alive, she was not starved. You have made a sad time even worse..Maybe next time read all the post before you judge. |
