You might try boiling a little bit of liver in a small amount of water, and giving the pup some of the liquid. DO NOT FEED THE LIVER IT SELF, ONLY THE LIQUID. This has been used on fading puppies with a high success rate. Just supplement some out of a syringe several times a day, not as an only source of nourishment. |
I will continue to keep him in my prayers ... and you also |
I will keep your little boy in my prayers also. |
I would imagine if his tail was infected, it probably hurt and he didnt want to eat. I hope the antibiotics help and it makes him stronger and able to latch on for longer periods of time to nurse. I am so glad you found AngelBeth to help you out. Alot of times by the time the mommas actually deliver we are already wiped out from being up night after night on puppywatch and then it is no sleep afterwards especially if you have a tiny one that you are trying to save so just to find someone to watch him so you can catch up on sleep will help tremendously. Good luck and keep us posted on Yoda's progress. |
Thank you so much everyone for caring. It has been nice finally getting some sleep last night. I know what you mean. You are on puppy watch and then finally when they are here you think that you are going to get some sleep and then you find yourself checking on them every two hours making sure that everyone is okay, everyone is eating and all that jazz. I think that this is more work then I expected, but I am loving every minute of this no matter how much it does break my heart or my pocket book. I have new life in my house and they are all such lovers. Expectially Yoda. Thank you for praying for him. |

I think you should take a couple of your awesome pictures and make her a nice personal thank-you card. A cheap gift that comes from the heart, and you know a dog-lover will love it. |

Thank you for all your wonderful suggestions. |
It is now Monday morning and I'm wondering how your little man is doing. I pray to hear about a wonderful improvement and some weight gain. I'll keep checking in as this little guy is on my mind a LOT. |

I breed Yorkies and Maltese. This litter is pure Maltese, she had 1 big girl and 1 tiny boy last thursday night, after taking her to the Er for an Oxy shot, she would not progress in labor. He lost weight and now he is back up to birthweight. 2 oz. I PMed a YTer to help me learn how to tube feed since I have never attempted it. He is sucking out of a dropper now. When you come to Tucson in Dec. it should be beautiful out, so enjoy, you'll love it! |

That is wonderful about the weight gain! I do hope the tremors go away...I have never seen one do that. I am definetly looking forward to your pictures:) . My litter is doing great ... they fight and grumble and play and make us laugh. Mine are 6 weeks old now, big difference from the little newbies. Thank you so much for the update (I do keep forgetting about a time difference:p ). |
Update I recieved a call from the vet this morning and he said that he was eating really well all last night, but this morning he is having a problem going pee. She has him at home and is taking him to the vets office to see if there is anything that she can do. Well she just called. They did an xray and a ultra sound with no luck finding anything that is holding him back from peeing. They did go and take urine out with a needle and now they are going to let it fill back up and see if he pees. If he does not we are going to have to put him down this afternoon. He is starting to eat like mad though. Go figure. When he is peeing all he wants to do is sleep and when he is not peeing all he wants to do is eat. **Sigh** Does anyone have any ideas on getting him to pee? |

I thought that pups at this young age need to still be stimulated by Mom to go pee:confused: PLEASE don't let the vet put him down yet:cry: |
Did they call you back yet? I'm so worried for him,,, he's made it this far. Could they put in a catheter until they figure it out? I wonder if that is even possible for one so tiny. |

Mine is holding on, he's trying to eat off mom but no success yet. I know this is heart breaking and breeding is definately not what it's cracked up to be...just know there are other breeders going through similar things as we are right now. I've lost other puppies due to prematurity and cleft pallete and it has tore me up, but you move on to the living babies and give them all the love you can. Hang in there and keep a positive outlook today. I'm praying as hard as I can for him and that the right person reads your post. |
*Bumping* this thread, hoping someone will see this, and is able to help!!!! Dont give up on him yet, please! My heart goes out to you, and i am praying as hard as i can here. |
We Have Pee!!!! WE HAVE PEE!!!!! I just recieved the call from the vet and he pee'd!!!! FINALLY!!!! Thank you for everyones help. HE PEE'D!!!! :cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:: cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer: Can you tell I am HAPPY!!!!! |
