whelped on day 54! help.... - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Some of my girls give birth at 54 days and never had problems .

yorky4ME · 04-10-2006, 12:17 PM

OK....
so we figured the first boy that came out had died inside her..... they was this black goo that came out with him. Since Mae was expelling that pup..... she went into labor with the other 2 girls. Which is why they are pre mature. I hope they will be OK.... they still seem healthy and I'm feeding them on the hour. They are nursing once I open the mouths and place it on the nipple........

Sending you our thoughts and prayers. Keep us posted. I think it's a good sign the girls are active and nursing well!

YorkieRini · 04-10-2006, 04:47 PM

I just had this experience. A month ago. The litter was born on day 56 little hair. They were lively and everything but didn't survive the night. They need to hold temperature to survive. My pups weren't hodling their temp so there was nothing to do to save them. Hopefully you will have a miracle and your babies will survive. I will be praying and hoping, but if not, dont' beat yourself up. There is really nothing more we can do. This was a lesson I learned from my own experience. I wish you Mae and the babies well!! Praying for you all in Ohio

yorky4ME · 04-10-2006, 07:41 PM

they are still doing good. I have a heat lamp going but I also have a snuggle safe warmer in their blanket. I'm trying ti make sure it doesn't get too hot for them or they don't get dehydrated. But I won't feel safe till they are at least 4 weeks old... probably 5 when I wean them. Pleeeeeeese....pleeeese let me keep these guys. They look so fragile.... I hope they will be OK.

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers.

feminvstr · 04-10-2006, 08:43 PM

OH my god bless these little girls, theyre fighters, youre doing everything you can possibly do, I pray they make it!

lksdolls · 04-10-2006, 09:03 PM

More prayers coming from Ohio. I lost a litter of two last month. They couldn't maintain the body heat. Both died the same day they were born. I realize now that there was nothing I could have done to save them. I pray everthing works out for you.

I don't like taking pups out in the cold either but living in Ohio, it's a necessity. I get a small box, big enough for the mom and pups, fold up a nice fleece blanket but leave enough that I can cover all of them, just as you would cover a human babies face when you take them out.

I have never used a heat lamp, but whatever it takes to keep them warm is VERY important!! I use a heating pad. I put a fleece blanket over it or a towel. Anything to keep them warm, but off the direct heat. I guess if you use a heat lamp, it'd do the same thing. But I'd worry that the direct heat might be to much for them. JMHO.

I'm sorry the little boy didn't make it. I will be praying for your girls.

yorky4ME · 04-11-2006, 05:15 AM

so the little girl was getting a little chill this morning. She was losing temp..... so I rubbed and rubbed and kept her on my warm hands and she made it! At least for now..... she was able to get a good nursing and she is warm again. Didn't sleep a wink last night.... was so worried and my other dogs were going crazy last night. One of the other girls knows something is up and has been crying for me to bring her up.(I've been keeping MaeMae and her pups next to me in bed so I can watch them.) How my hubby was able to sleep and snore is BEYOND me...... Maeson, my parrot, starting screaming this morning. The whole house was loud. We need positive energy here......

Tashasmom · 04-11-2006, 05:43 AM

Just wanted to say were still thinking of you. Hope they are doing well..

Since Mae was expelling that pup..... she went into labor with the other 2 girls. Which is why they are pre mature. I hope they will be OK.... they still seem healthy and I'm feeding them on the hour. They are nursing once I open the mouths and place it on the nipple........
