has anyone had this terrible thing happen? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

MRS H · 07-19-2006, 07:26 AM

i agree all other dogs should be kept away from new mums and babies and i keep all my dogs away from my mums and babies, this tragedy happened to my mother and she would never have left them in danger her heart is broken this other dog has never shown any aggresion before this is an accident, as i said a neighbor was round so maybe her attention was off the pups for a while but my mum loves her dogs and would never see any harm come to the babies

I'm so sorry!!! I know that there was no intentional harm. You all are in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss!!! I am sorry for the terrible pain you must be feeling. I will keep you all in my prayers!!!!

I'm so sorry for the loss. I can't imagine how hard this must be not only for you and your mom but the yorkie momma.

ARCHIE · 07-19-2006, 10:11 AM

What a horrible story. Poor little mommy. They don't understand. My
condolences to you and your Mother. Maybe the other dog was just
jealous? I have no idea why a good dog would do something like this
but I would like to know what a breeder would say.

I am so terribly sorry. I can't even imagine the pain and sadness you are all feeling. Thank you so much for posting though because I know you have prevented this from happening again to someone else. I know I will be more careful even if I think a dog would never do this. We think of our dogs as humans, but we forget they have a lot of natural instincts we just don't understand.

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how horrible you're mom must feel ...it was just a terrible accident. I had this happen once ( not with yorkies) ..I blamed it on jealousy ..

YorkieRose · 07-19-2006, 04:47 PM

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of the litter. Sadly, it does happen...and it does not mean the bitch who killed is maladjusted...dogs can do these things, they are animals with different instincts.
I had a girl with a litter of 4..her sister got into her pen during the night..I found the mom sitting by the bed while her sister was laying with the puppies. Mom was so glad to see me..I scolded sister and she got out of the bed..I realize it could have just as easily been a tragedy!! After that I got pens with clamp tops..

mylittletigger · 07-19-2006, 05:25 PM

I would recommend( I know for a fact this works well with cats) is that while she is mourning the loss of her litter that you get tiny stuffed puppies and put them near her or with her and if instincts are still active(which more then likely they are) she'll begin to take care of them. It sounds funny but it works.

I am so sorry about your loss. I hope all is well soon.

lily's mom · 07-19-2006, 08:29 PM

How very sad!!!! The stuffed animal thing sounds like a good idea. I would give it a try for the mommies sake. Poor babies!!!

txshopper73 · 07-19-2006, 08:53 PM

How devistating!!!!!

I've heard instances where 2 female dogs have actually killed puppies, when left together unsupervised. They might both try to rescue the same puppy and end up tearing it apart.

Could this have been what happened?

MRS H · 07-19-2006, 10:04 PM

bless you all for the kind words this was a terrible accident which will never be allowed to be repeated, please please if you have babies born and you have other dogs in the house please lock the mum and babies in the cages safely away, i must say i have always kept my cages locked i think better to be safe than sorry, but of course everyone thinks there dogs can be trusted by there instincts take over and tradegy happens, i spent so much time with my parents yesterday trying to make things better but how can i help them come to terms with this they are devastated, the mummy dog who is called Dolly i held her yesterday and cuddled her her eyes were so sad she kept just looking at me my heart was aching for her we will try the cuddly toy suggestion maybe it will help bless her, thanks for all the support and once again lets all learn a lesson from this and keep the babies away from other dogs

Chelsey · 07-20-2006, 12:27 AM

Thank you for posting your story, this may prevent it from happening to others!
I am very sorry this happened, that's so tragic, you must all be so devastated!
The idea of putting stuffed animals with the mom might help her, i hope so!
Please keep us updated how mommy is coping! Best wishes to you and your family.

BabyFidgette · 07-20-2006, 12:57 AM

That is so sad and terrible.

My mouth literally dropped open when I read it. I'm so sorry for your losses. I seriously wonder what went through that female's head when she did that.

MRS H · 07-20-2006, 01:53 AM

we have spoken to the vet today and he has said the reason my parents did not hear anything going on with the pups and why the mother did not attack the other dog is probably because the mother killed the pups and my parents other yorkie went in and had a sniff and a lick of the babies after the event i wonder if this is true because my little girl has pups and she would kill any dog for going near them, also this bitch was leaving the pups often and did not want to be locked in with them which i strange , could the breeders give some advice as to whether she is likely do repeat theses actions again ?
