| 911 Help have a yorkie pup born about 4 hours ago. Took her to vet. Vet said she wont make it. born to soon. She has no hair. She is breathing. She tries to suck but has to open mouth to breath. she moves her legs. Vet said for me to just put her and mama in a box and let nature work it out. Mama is ok. The other 2 pups did not make it at all. I want to help. She wants to eat. I have puppy milk here.. and a eye droper but dont want to get it in her lungs. What should I do. she wants to try to live. HELP!! Christy |

| That is heartbreaking, chances are your vet is right. If the puppy does not have hair it was born way to early. You would probably need to tube feed this baby and put it on oxygen support and still the chances would be very low. It is just not developed enough. I wish your vet and I can be wrong. Prays for your puppy, I hope it does not suffer. |

| Debi is right. Tube feed is very difficult - you have to be bery careful to not puncture the lungs, so measurement is very important. My guestion is why did your female go into labor so early. What caused her to. Has your vet checked her out throuoghly? I am sure he has. I am also afraid that you may lose this last one puppy too. They are just so young and chances are she won't make it. You will need ahuge miracle. My prayers go out to you and your family. T. |

| I am so sorry for your losss of the other puppies. I agree with the others. There is an almost nil chance that the living baby has. just way too early sounds like. |

| Thanks for all the posts. The little girl is still with us. I have got her to suck some on the mother. I have to press on the mamam and she drinks. I have used the eye droper some also with my milk replacer. She tries to get up and latch on but is so small. My vet checked mama out and gave her a shot of antibotics and sent me home some also. We plan on fixing her... I never want this to happen again. I dont know why she went to soon. We had her to go on 12-12 Any more tips would be a help. Should I take the baby in to the vet again.. since she made it all night? Thanks Christy |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I can't help but if you search this section - There are some threads that offer recipies for supplemental feeding but I have no idea what you should be doing....I just wanted to say that's truly sad you lost the other puppies and she is so underdeveloped - that's got to be heartbreaking |

| I am so very sorry for your loss, I have lost puppies like this before and it is so hard. Breeding is not always fun and things do not always go as they should. I am glad this puppy did not suffer to long in its passing. God speed little ones. |
