Please Pray for my baby!!!
 

As you know I have said that my baby girl already lost 2 of her babies.. As of today the last 2 are 8 days old and I'm afraid my little boy isn't gonna make it...He has stopped nursing and I have tried and tried to get him hooked on a nipple.. so I took it into my own hands and have pretty much stayed up round the clock for the last few days feeding him thru an eyedropper.. He even refuses that, but I have been forcing him drop by drop slowly of course I don't want him to asperate on me.. now he seems very weak and can hardly hold his head up with out it going in all different directions.. IS THIS NORMAL?? I keep telling him don't give up on me.. Im not giving up on you.. Hubby and I are completely devasted at the luck we've had with her 1st litter and quite frankly my dream was to become a very well respected breeder like most of you.. now Im not so sure...my heart is sooo heavy right now..I am trying my best to make sure I don't loose this one.. But what do you think his chances are?? Ive also asked the good lord above that if it's not meant for him to be.. then please take him from me now and stop prolonging things... Has anyone of you been thru this nightmare.. Im so heartbroken.. Im not worried about baby #2.. He HUGE.. and can fend for himself.. Looks like a big baby cub.. ... Thanks for listening..

We'll get some breeders on this right away - in General Discussion it may get buried - GOOD LUCK !!!~

Really hope everything works out... I'd try reaching out to the breeders here to see what they might suggest....

ok.. thank you, will post this in the breeders section..

Katiesmom - if you repost this in the BREEDER Talk section - more breeders will see it - I just pm'd someone and hope you get some answers -

there's a pudding they make to feed a tiny puppy but your answers will be in the breeder section of YT not this one -

Maybe Admin can move this thread for you -

PS - we posted at the same time - GOOD luck and that's where you'll get the most response since Breeders are always checking that section

Try posting this in the Breeders section to get more responses. It's likely to get lost in this section.

YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST.. THANKS AGAIN.. JUST POSTED IN BREEDERS SECTION.. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE CAN HELP.. :) :aimeeyork :) :aimeeyork

I pm Deb for help, I didn't have any problems with mine, but I do know that you might want to get help soon...I have heard to let the little one nurse by himself, but if he is not attaching himself I don't know...we will find you help hang in there:(

I posted in your other thread and again am no breeder - but it sounds like 'Fading puppy' syndrome and if you read some of the links posted in your other thread you may find something that will help till more breeders post their ideas ...I see Deb posted to you already - GOOD luck with your little guy

Thank you again...:)

Here's the fading puppy sticky try this immediately: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=100703

I supplimented my little one who was 2.4 ounces at birth with colostrum mixture 2cc's every 3 hours for the first day. Then the second day I mixed the colostrum with just born and feed 2cc's still at a rate of every 3 hours. I also highly recommend this: http://www.revivalanimal.com/store/p...mate-ASAP.aspx

I know alot of breeders use dyne, but I'm not sure about newborns. here's that link: http://www.revivalanimal.com/store/p/2693-Dyne.aspx

thanks Deb:)

Your very welcome!!

You may also need to tube feed the baby if you can't get food down them. I suggest putting some honey on the babies mouth so you boost their blood sugar up abit while your trying to feed him/her. Sorry I'm abit rushed trying to help you, I'm on an important long disatnce call. I will check back in a few!
