I am so glad to hear that Joker is doing so well. Will it be possible to do surgery on him in the future to correct the problem? He sounds like such a real trooper and he's an inspiration to all of us who are not perfect! :) |
Im so happy that Joker is doing so well. He is adorable. :bighug: |
JOker, you are one luckly little boy to have a mommy and daddy that loves you this much and to care for you like any baby!! Good luck boy! EAT and get big fella. |
Joker update 2 Attachment(s) Joker is reallly doing well. He was suffering from hypoglycemia twice a week or so in the early morning but knock on wood, he hasnt had an attack for about a week now. He loves formula with honey mixed in! He really has trouble with dry food so he is still on canned. I suction his nose after most feedings because particles of the canned get in his nasal passage. He is 9 1/2 weeks now and weighs 11 ozs. He runs, spins,bites and squeeks for a bark. Here are a couple cute pictures I took of him yesterday, thought you all would enjoy! |
OMG he's soooooo cute and fuzzy! God bless you for taking him in to your heart and giving him a chance. he looks like he's doing so well now. You got a special little guy there. |
He is such a joy to have around!.............Yes he is fuzzy but a bit more fuzzy then usual in the pic.....that was after a fresh blowdrying:) |
Well, as usual, I just love this little guy! He always makes me smile. Give him losts of kisses for me. |
Kelly so nice to see little joker, he is an amazing little man BTW perfect name:) |
Can you tell us how you feed him and with what did you use. Did you tube him? He sure is a cutie and so special, I hope he continues to grow and get stronger everyday. Debbie Ray www.sumtoiyorkies.com |
I tried a nursing bottle with no luck, the eye dropper wasnt good either. I thought about tube feeding but he did very well with a syringe. I could tell how much he got, anywhere from 4 ccs to 12 when he got bigger at a time. I just slowly pushed some formula out with a long tip syringe, at the side of the mouth pointed back to bypass his cleft.Every 2 to 3 hours, except at night he went 6 hours without food by 3 weeks. This is when he occasionally suffered from hypoglycemia. He know drinks formula still from a tiny bowl, and since I added honey he does not have attacks anymore. Hes stronger too. (this was a suggestion from a YTER) Thanks all, he is a pretty neat lil guy. |
Joker is precious! I am so glad he's doing so well. |
hypoglycemia :confused: hypoglycemia How do you know if they are having this attack or suffering from it??? |
Joker is the perfect yorkie in my opinion, haha. He's a fighter, strongwilled, determined, and cute as heck. I'm so happy he's pulling through. You are blessed to have such a baby. You deciding to raise him, shows what type of person you are...kind. I truly admire people, like you, who breed and take care of these little ones!:thumbup: |
Here's a link to hypoglycemia that contains the symptoms. All Yorkie owners (expecially breeders should be very familiar with it). Not all Yorkies have it, but a great many of them do. http://yorkieviews.com/hypoglycemia.htm |
Thank you! My cleft baby is a Chi but its says all small toy breeds. Thanks again!!! Quote:
