Yoda has had a hard road. You have been really strong. Sorry this hasn't been easy for you. It's bad when a

little one is sick.

Thank you so much. I know that it is so hard to keep up with everything going on, on this site. I know that I have done all that I can at this point I am just going to make his last little bit as great as I can. It is up to him how long he is willing to stay. Thank you again

Oh that made me cry. Thank you. He is at work with me right now with his big sister and he is all cuddled up beside her. I just can't think of putting him down right now. He is just enjoying life too much. He is going to be an angel whenever he chooses to go. Until then we will keep having fun and letting him enjoy life no matter how short it maybe.

Miracles have been known to happen and perhaps he is yours?

MorkieAZ · 10-10-2007, 11:20 AM

Hey Sharon, can you tell us how Yoda and his siblings are doing?

They said that they usually diagnosis liver shunts when they are a few months old and to have this little one reacting to the medication this early is really good for now, but is really bad in the long run. He mostlikely will not live past 3 months even with out the skull plates being the way that they are.

So I was thinking on the way home that I am going to take care of him until I either run out of medication (which gets really expensive) or when he has one of his little breathing out bursts. Which ever comes first. Mostlikely it is going to be the breathing out bursts that he has been having every couple of days. I feel extremely bad about it, but I really have to do what is best for him. Please pray that he is going to have a comfortable and speedy crossing of the rainbow bridge. Until then he is again a permanent attachment to me with his meds being given every 4 hours and feedings ever hour and a half.

Oh Sharon, may God bless you and little Yoda. I will pray for what you are asking. You really have been so wonderful with your little guy. Your hard work and dedication to him has left him knowing absolutely nothing but love.

Good idea. Yoda is doing good today. I have been feeding him every 4 hours with his medicine and every other feeding I have to tube feed him this really disgusting medicine that he absolutely hates. He blows bubbles with it if I don't tube him. He is was a bit slow this morning, but is doing great now. I can't keep him in his little carrier. He wants to climb out and investigate. LOL. I don't know if what the doctor said is right or not. It seems to me that the gap on his head is getting harder. I guess I will just have to wait and see and not get my hopes up. He is up to 6.3 oz!!!!

The rest of the litter is doing good. BamBam has definitely found his voice. He squeaks to eat, he squeaks while he is eating and whenever he just feels like it. He is going to be my trouble maker, I just know it. He is 18 oz.

The girls are staying neck and neck with weight. I had to paint one of their toenails just so that I would not get them confused with one another. They all love their brother and love to cuddle with him. It is just so cute.

The only problem I am finding is that Tinkerbell is not wanting to mother Yoda or BamBam. She even barks at BamBam (I think because he is so much bigger then the others). Yoda she just ignores. She does feed them, but I have to make her sometimes. Has anyone else had a problem with this?

More Pictures are on photobucket too.

MorkieAZ · 10-10-2007, 01:10 PM

It's so nice to hear that Yoda is happy and active. The vet said the open fontanelle would not close?

Of course you know my little guys mom really wants nothing to do with him so I have to force her to lay still to nurse ( which he has decided is just way to much work and would rather have the bottle.)

You sound so much better. I'm glad for you and Yoda and your other little trouble makers! LOL?

LOL. Now I am right where you are. Feedings every 2-4 hours and tubing every 8. LOL. We are going to look like this at work.

After all this we are going to need a vacation just to sleep.

Sorry to hear that he feels that the bottle is better. That is just so hard when they will not feed their babies. I guess we know the demands that they have to put up with now. Just think of our jobs multiplied by the number of puppies. LOL

MorkieAZ · 10-10-2007, 03:35 PM

Well, if we could whip out a teat and liked the taste of pee and poo our lives would be alot easier!!!

AAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!

Did I just say that!!???

Boy, I really do need some rest!

MorkieAZ · 10-12-2007, 08:58 AM

It's been a couple days, is everything still going good?

Sharonandtink · 10-12-2007, 10:16 AM

Everything is going great. Tinkerbell is letting Yoda eat and I give him medicine with that and it is working out great. He is gaining weight and playing so well sometimes it is hard to tell that he is sick. I think that when he is a bit older I am going to go get a second opinion from another clinic.

Tinkerbell will allow BamBam eat when all the others eat, but not him just alone. It is so funny. He is walking and following her around everywhere saying, "Mom stop just one more drop, I promise!!!" LOL It is just so cute to watch. I was setting up the play area in the kitchen this morning and had the puppies out so that they would not get squished and they found Tinkerbells food bowl. They were taking the kibbles and throwing them out of the bowl after they were licked to death. LOL. They are going to be a wonderful handful.

So everything is just wonderful. I love it.

MorkieAZ · 10-12-2007, 11:36 AM

That's so cute about Bam Bam, love that name!

So you think Yoda may not be as sick as the vet says? Wouldn't that be a blessing!!!

Keep doing what your doing, cause it sounds like your doing it perfectly!
