| Looks like a normal yorkie baby to me. Does she have a heating pad in her box (undeneath it?)

| I'd take them to the vet to be checked out. The mama certainly couldn't tell if he was ugly or not. His head might have been squeezed into a funny shape in the birth canal like babies are. I wouldn't take a chance though. If the other mom's won't take him in, then take him to the vet.

No, I don't have a heating pad in the room but I do have a room heater pointed in their direction, it's not on right now. I just keep a close eye on them. I am not 5 feet away from them. Sylvia | |

| How about taking him to one of the other moms and see if he will nurse an "already operating" nipple...I'm not saying to keep him there just see if he will get the idea then put him back with his mom. Worth a try. |

You need to get this pup to a vet. You have to do everything you can to get this money. That little baby is your responsibility and to be a responsible breeder you have to figure these things out BEFORE you breed your dog. Please find a way to get this baby taken care of. What if it is something that is fixable and he dies simply because you couldnt afford to take him to the vet. I couldnt live with myself if I were in your shoes. Im sorry for criticizing but this is your responsibility you need to take care of that baby

Have you ever taken a teeny Yorkie baby to the vet and asked for help? I have. They say they can't do anything because the baby is so small. If it were 8 ozs or more they could do something with them. This baby is 2.8ozs. They can't put an IV in him. The most they could do that I can't do is give him oxygen. They might get a drop or two of antibiotic on his tongue but antibiotics may not help. I can get him to take some nourishment and I am with him CONSTANTLY, they are not. They have other duties to take care of. I can tend my baby almost as well as they can. Sylvia | |

| Please keep him warm, preemies need to be kept warmer than reg. babies, if you think he's a preemie. Here is a quote from an article "A premature puppy, however, has left the "oven" (100-101 at time of delivery) too early; before the cookie is cooked, so to speak. He isn't ready to be at 95-96 degrees. He is an "unbaked" cookie. He needs to continue the baking process until the day arrives for his correct delivery date. His temp needs to be around 100 degrees and stable. (once the puppy is stable, you can begin decreasing the temp about 1/2 degree every day until by delivery day, he should be good at 95-96 degrees) Use a heating pad set at 100 degrees and use a rheostat (available at Pet Smart and used for Reptiles) to set his warming pad temp at 100 degrees." You can wrap a cloth around him as his nurses, if he gets chilled death is certain. He really needs a heating pad. I understand money woes, is there someone you can borrow from? How is his breathing? Usually if they're premature their lungs are not developed well as they are still very "sticky inside". If taken to the vet they can give dex or dopram to help that. Whether he is a preemie or not there are there 3 things to remember(to me) is Water (hydrate, sub q if available), Sugar (energy), and Warmth. Never feed a chilled puppy. I know if you're like me you're doing all you can for him. Please keep it up for him. |

Very Good Sylvia! My mom didn't want to stay with hers at first but she did much better after a few days. Remember what I said about keeping them warm. It should be 85 degrees where the babies are for the first week, then 80 the next, then about 75 until they are a bit bigger. Even if it feels warm to you, the baby will die quickly if it gets cool. If the baby starts acting sluggish or stops nursing chances are he is cold. Seriously use a receiving blanket or something to keep him covered.
