I've never done it but watched many videos and I can see how scary and nerve racking it could be! |
Bless her heart, she'd doing her best. I hope Precious pulls through. I agree tubing would be best. And probably some fluids through subqing at home or IV at the vets. She may need to take her to the emergency vet. If she doesn't eat, and she isn't being given fluids, it's not going to get any better. |
I know, I'm pulling for her too, so bad. I'm ready for bed, but afraid to sign off in case she posts! I just hope she off cuz she's feeding her right now. The vets told her they got her to latch on there...so hopefully. She also has a good suction on the bottle, (when she ate some earlier) so that was a good sign too. |

How much did she eat????????? That makes me feel better. Keep up the great work!!!!! I know your exhausted, but you are doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! |
Sending Prayers and more Prayers.Please little girl stay strong and eat. |
Joy - I just wanted to let you know I'm heading to bed but please call if you need ANYTHING. Keep doing what your doing - you are doing GREAT!!!! |
Prayers for Peaches and Precious! Sounds like your doing everything you can for her. Glad the baby seems to be sucking and taking in some nurishment! You may be in for a long nite, but it sounds like your up for it. Keep us updated!!! Hang in there!! |
I rubbed just a little nutro cal on her lips then on Peaches Nipple and she has been nursing now for the past 10 minutes on Peaches... it started at 12:14 and now its 12:25 and she is still nursing on Peaches... That makes me soooooooooo Happy!!! |
Peaches is now licking her puppy now and being attentive to it. However, the lil one, (Precious) seems to need help getting a hold of the nipple to nurse. I had noticed prior to today that Peaches nipples didnt seem prominent like other yorkies pictures on here when they were showing their bellies. Do you think there is something wrong with her nipples.. I mean inverted like sometimes happends to us humans.. making it harder for the pup? |
How was your night Joy? It sounds like Peaches is beginning to catch on to things. |
Hi Joy, how are the little ones doing? I think, it's normal the lil one finds it hard to latch on. She's so tiny. But don't worry. The most important thing is that she's healthy and keeps on suching. Hold on to her while she's sucking so she does not slide down the mummy's nipple. Is Peaches a first time mother? If she is, then it's normal her teats are smaller. I think the lower teats are the easiest for the little ones to suckle. Don't worry about the size of Peaches' teats. Make sure the tummy of the lil one gets bigger each time she feeds. That's the safest way to know she's sucking. You're doing a great job. Keep it up. Wish you and your lil ones the best.:) |
Half a sleep Its been an all nighter for me. Making sure that Precious latches on and holding her there while she is latched. I have not looked at her belly after words. I just assumed Precious was satisfied because when she was finally done nursing she would not be whimperig. Precious likes to sleep between the two back legs with her head facing her rump. I guess its warmer there... is that normal. I was asked if Peaches is a first time Mom... Yes she is.. and last.. I had her spayed while the c-section was done. She just has the one puppy. She will nurse around 30 mintues at a time .. anywhere from 1 and half hours to 2 hours. Is that about normal? Oh yea, Peaches will not lay in her whelping box I had for her.. She wants to be in my bed with Precious. So I just let her.. I hope thats okay... She wants right next to me. and I mean right next to me. |
That's wonderful Joy. It sounds like she's doing great. At least with them in bed, you can get some shuteye, however small it is right now. I imagine everyone is pretty happy over there. Many breeders (almost all) have scales to watch the little ones with. Walmart has them in the appliance department. That would be very useful to you to monitor her. To assure you that she's gaining and to alert you if there is a problem. Weighing 2 ounces, you need one that weighs in grams the electric ones are best IMO Just a thought to be helpful, not that you have to do it :) |
It sounds like things are going great. She's nursing at normal intervals, staying warm and is sleeping. Is her sleep activated, does she twitch in her sleep? Peaches sounds like my Roxie with her first litter, she had a watersack hanging out of her but refused to push if she wasn't leaning against me. Peaches just needs the reassurance that you're close and she's loved. Keep up the good work! |
What great news to wake to!!!! I'm so happy!!!!!! Yes, I agree. Since she's so small, I'd be weighing her by grams. Its easier to tell if they are gaining or losing by grams. You can get a digital one at walmart in the kitchen gadget isle. I think mine was about $30 but I needed it for my little cleft palate chi I told you about. You can switch it from grams to ounces. it was very helpful. Looks like ths little one is a fighter!!!! I'm so happy she's doing so well !!!!! |

Oh, Joy, I'm so happy for you and the lil ones. It sounds like Precious is quite healthy. As long as she sucks and grows that's what matters. Little pups although tiny can be very strong if they are healthy. Keep the good work. You, Peaches and Precious are real champs.:congrats: :bravo: |
Oh I'm so happy Peaches and Precious are doing well! You could hear your determination in your posting! Hope you get some rest soon, and that baby girl continues to eat good!! |

4 Attachment(s) We got our gram scale and she has gained .75 ounces So from yesterday at 4:30 pm she was 2.0 ounces and just now we weighed her . it is 6:50pm ... Is she gaining fast enough. Oh yeah and she is now finding the nipples on her own and latching on. She is very active and quite a lil fighter. :) Here a some pics I snapped of her |
Just seen your pics. Oh boy, are they adorable. I'm so glad she's put on weight and is latching on on her own. I think the worst is now over. Peaches is just so cute. I love that stunning blue coat. And the lil one, oh, she's a darling and that white hair on her chest, I love it. Congrats, I'm confident everything will be fine from now on. Try and get some rest, Joy.:good job: :jump28ib: Rubi. |

I'm so glad she's eating well and latching on. She is so incredibly tiny. My hat's off to you for doing everything you did to get her eating last night. HOpe she continues to thrive!! Look forward to many more pictures as she continues to grow. |
I just saw this thread...that is amazing. Such a tiny little thing...I hope and pray that Precious continues to thrive. The pictures are incredible, I am in awe. |
