Awwwww, they are so beautiful!

That lady is doing a really good job with your little one. I think he looks great, what a heart breaker he is going to be!
I pray mine will look like that soon.

Thats the best news ever that he is doing so well.I am so happy for you...

I was so worried about him and haven't been on long the past few days, but he has been in my thoughts, since your litter and my two were born on the same day..they are special to me

Glad to hear that he is doing well.

The pictures are too cute. You have a wonderful Vet. She is a Godess. To take two babies was a wonderful thing to do. Two puppies always do better than just one, because they have each other, and they can sitimulate each other. This is also better when a mother has only one baby to find another one that's small from another litter, if there is one, to put in the bed together. It helps the Mother be a better mother too.

The vet called again today to update me and the news is barable. She took Yoda to see another vet, someone who does more specializing in neological. He said that he looks great neologically, but thinks that there is something wrong with his little liver. So they started him on some medication to help clean up his blood and see if that helps. I did not think to ask if they did blood test to get to this conclusion so I guess that I will just have hope and see what happens. The last couple days he has still been shaking and doing this funny breathing thing on top of everything else. The vet said that driving him around in the car seems to help calm his breathing. LOL. Just like a baby.

Well if I find anything else out I will update and let you know. Hopefully this is what he needs. They said that he might grow out of this or he might need a surgery to correct it. We are going to have to see.

Oh boy.....you guys have been through so much. It's totally exhausting for you I'm sure. It just brought me down a couple of notches just reading it. Oh how I pray that after all of this he will be a healthy, energetic, little puppy. We all know he is fighter; that's for sure. I'll be checking in and continue to pray for this little guy.

ryorkies · 10-05-2007, 06:05 AM

What a little fighter he is...
Prayers continue to come your way.

MorkieAZ · 10-05-2007, 07:12 AM

Pm'd you Sharon.
Wow, these babies are really testing us aren't they? Hoping and praying it's not serious, you and him deserve for him to live a happy healthy life. You've done so much for him and I hope he will be around a long time to show you all the love you deserve.
Thinking of you both.

Susan123 · 10-05-2007, 12:59 PM

Bless his heart. I'm sorry to hear this.

We'll be thinking of you two.

MorkieAZ · 10-05-2007, 02:25 PM

Any more news since this morning????

Yes we have an update. The medication seems to be working wonderfully. Woohoo!!! He is eating great and is very active. He has one eye open and crawling around. She said that we can continue with the medication and when he gets older he should be neutered. He can either continue with the medication and live a normal healthy life span or he can have the surgery to have his liver shunt corrected. I don't know what I am going to do in the long run. I can't keep the little guy no matter how much I want too. Is it okay to sell a little sick guy? He is going to have this for the rest of his life. Sorry just deep in though on how to give this little guy the best possible life for his situation.

On Sunday we are going to see how he does with all his litter mates and maybe he can come home is a couple days. Keeping my fingers crossed.

MorkieAZ · 10-05-2007, 02:51 PM

That's great news!!!
Well sure you can sell him, as long as you are up front and the buyers know exactly what is wrong and how to care for him. I've seen ads for puppies that say "special needs" and they find great loving homes.
