| Ok, more help please. My mama that just had her babies seems afraid of the one she has left. She takes care of him but won't lay against him. She will lay next to him. He mews like a kitten and forgive me for saying so but he is UGLY! I've never seen such an ugly Yorkie baby. Since mama lost the other one, does anyone think that ugly, plus mewing might equal a possible defect since mom is acting strange? This is her first litter. She seems to be very nervous. Sylvia |

| She may take awhile to realize it is HER baby. If not, you could put the pup with one of your other moms that recently delivered (to keep him warm). Best of luck. Pictures please... of what an UGLY yorkie pup looks like (is he premature??).

I could be way off, he could be an ugly ducking that will turn into a goreous swan. She doesn't push him away. Just doesn't seem to have a natural mothering instinct. Sylvia | |

How old is this pup??? Some first time moms are nervous and then there are some that are just not good mothers. Is she feeding him OK? Is she too warm? Is mom pee and pooing the little guy? Is she in a secure/ safe place away from traffic. Some moms prefer a den like area and some prefer a more open. PM me if you want to talk. | |

How old is this pup??? About 2 hours old. Some first time moms are nervous and then there are some that are just not good mothers. Is she feeding him OK? As far as I can tell he hasn't nursed at all. Because I thot it was important to get something in him, I mixed up some puppy formula and added in some Dyne. I use an eye dropper and while he doesn't suck on the dropper he does swallow the milk. Is she too warm? I don't think she is too warm, she isn't acting like she is hot. Is mom pee and pooing the little guy? Yes, she is cleaning him. She does seem to like him. Is she in a secure/ safe place away from traffic. She is in a cage that I have wrapped a blanket around the back, sides and top. Only the front and front top of the cage is clear so I can see in. She is not in traffic but still in a room with people and other dogs. Actually she doesn't seem nervous to me. Some moms prefer a den like area and some prefer a more open. I will have to go get another box to put her in. I didn't expect her babies until next week so I didn't have an apple box for her to be in after the babies came. She is protective of him. He was crying and her mom came to see what was going on. Her mom had babies yesterday. She snapped at her mom and went back to the baby. I don't think he has nursed yet. Is there something I can do to cause him to nurse. I tried pinching up some milk and trying to attach him but he didn't seem to get the idea. Sylvia | |

I think maybe he is on the verge of being too premature to survive. If I am not very careful with him I will lose him. Sylvia | |

| iS SHE A FIRST TIME MOM? a lot of times first time moms need to be actually forced to stay with thier babies.. after her milk comes in better in 2 -3 days she will stay with him better. In the meantime you will need to sit with her and get that baby to nurse .. karo syrup on the tongue, then place him on mom. And if you can, use a recieving blanket to lightly cover the baby while he is nursing .. you MUST keep him warm or he will die. Chilled baby is the biggest killer of newborn babies. Sonya
