Kimberly,

I am so sorry to hear that Tinkerbell is in labor..

I just had a bad feeling when I read your post that is why I asked about her temp.. I ALWAYS start to take the temps of my mamas two weeks before they are due to whelp.. I depend alot of what their temp is!

Please keep us updated on Tinkerbell and I will keep her in my prayers..

Melanie

I wish them all the best and hope things turn out for the best.

KimMee's Mom · 12-29-2005, 09:14 PM

Oh no, please let us know what is happening. I hope Tinkerbell is ok, sounds like the pups won't make it.

Snow Yorkies · 12-29-2005, 09:40 PM

Oh, my this is so sad for the breeder and her Tinkerbell. Please keep us posted, but it doesn't sound good... I will keep them in my prayers that Tinkerbell is fine and comes out of this okay...

Jeniferlee · 12-29-2005, 09:42 PM

It amazes me what a caring group of people there are on YT- we all are worrying and pray for puppies and people we have never met.......
I hope everything is going well as I type! Hoping to see a post from you soon!
Thank god she has you to help support her- your a great friend!

Just got back from the vets. Tinkerbell had an emergency c-section and spay. She had 6 puppies 2 of which were already dead. we brought home 4. 2 boys and 1 girl and I don't know the sex of the 4th. It's amazing what 12 days would do.

These puppies barely had any peach fuz on them. They were no longer than 3 inches long. Very underdeveloped. Once we got to her house, we spent the last hour stimulating them. They'd gasp for air and then go 30 seconds with nothing. Gasp again then nothing. I told her that if one made it, it would be a miracle but then what kind of brain damage/health would the pup be in???

Tinkerbell has not come to yet. Right before I left, she had some eye movement and her nose was starting to twitch some. Dr. Barrett gave some antibiotics and pain killers for her.

Friend knows that the little ones can't be saved. Tinkerbell's normal weight is 6 1/2 lbs. Last time, she got down to under 5 lbs from grieving so much. Friend said that she went from room to room crying and looking for her babies. When the other dog had her puppy, Tinkerbell tried to steal her. Really sad. I told her that she may want to have a couple of small stuffed animals so she wouldn't grieve too bad. Don't know if it was good advice or not.

Anyway, friend is beating herself up over it and I told her she did the right thing by having her spayed so that it'll never happen again.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for the update-
Is it usual for the dog to come home from the vet so soon- before even being awake?
Life is such a miracle....

livingdustmops · 12-29-2005, 10:34 PM

Oh God, Kimberley this is so sad. I could never do this as this breaks my heart. Thank goodness you were there for your friend and Tinkerbell.

This is the part that breaks my heart the most and people don't think these animals feel anything:

Well, not sure...never had to have one done, but it was very late at night and he's just an old farmer type vet. they said to keep and eye on her and keep her warm. she didn't want to leave Tinkerbell there, either and no one was going to be there to watch her.

You are so right...these "dogs" grieve just the same as we do. They may not grieve as long but they know...and that's what is so heartbreaking! My friend was crying because she wants to keep at least one puppy. It's very sad.

KimMee's Mom · 12-29-2005, 10:38 PM

oh this is so sad. Poor Tinkerbell

YorkieShadow · 12-29-2005, 10:52 PM
