I limited her play time to 10mins and left her alone to go back to sleep which she did do and is now sleeping in her bed. I whiped her bottom with a warm wetwipe when she woke up and she did a wee a few mins later but still no poop. Maybe that will come in the next few hours.

Another miracle is that the lactol puppy milk formula, i was finding it hard mixing it up not knowing how much i need to give to how much water. Well my bf worked it all out for me and it looks alot better than what i was making it so thats fantastic.

I think i am getting ontop of this mother melarky hehe!!

That is so sweet! I'm glad she is playing

Why were you having trouble with the Lactol? Were the directions not clear or were they not in metric?

Natasha, it is so sad that you are having such a stressful time when you should be having a ton of fun with Poppy. My heart goes out to you, but at least you are getting the help you need and hanging in there to give Poppy the care she needs.

I can't imagine a breeder letting such a tiny, tiny baby go! He cares nothing, absolutely nothing for the welfare of that tiny girl obviously. And I really think he knew you wouldn't bring her back to him, no matter what. Please report him. Can you imagine what the other people and puppies might be going through? Especially the other babies! It is so sad. I wonder what the survival rate is like for those puppies who don't have someone like you to care for them?

Your doing fabulous. Hopefully, Poppy will start eating, the vet will pronounce her healthy and things will become more relaxing and just enjoyable for you. Hang in there!

As I said an an earlier post....it takes time for them to acclimate to a new environment. She is now getting use to you and trusting to you.

Just continue to massage her little anus. Here's something you might think about. Some pups will poop and yes, eat it. It's something they learn from their mothers.....it's keeping the den clean. So she may have gone poo poo and cleaned it up already. Keep a check on her tummy, make sure it isn't hard. If she appears to be bit constipated a small of warm water (not even a 1/4 cc) in a syringe into her little anus will help. I prefer pure glycerine.....but, water will do in a pinch.

Oh thank you all so much, i will check her tummy when she wakes up. Shes still fast alseep I feel ALOT more relaxed than i did last night and today, i am looking forward to the vets visit tomorrow and for them to tell me she is healthy.

I am defo phoning the RSPCA tomorrow and telling them about this breeder. Thank you again for all your wonderfull advice. Ah i know i keep saying it to you all but i really dunno what i would have done without your help and advice.

Big licks from Poppy ... big hugs from me xxxx

Each day should get easier & less stressful. Poppy is in good hands. You will do fine, you just have to play furmommy & skinmommy for a while. I look foward to your update tomorrow after the vet check. BTW, do you know how much Poppy weighs right now?

Well huge news she wagged her little puppy tail . Yeah. She is getting used to her new home.

It is so refreshing to hear/see a poster who actually takes the advice given. So kudoos to you and lil Poppy.

All of us here are rooting for you and Poppy. you are part of the YT family.

Just remember dear there is a 5 hour time difference between england and Canada/and lots of parts of the USA, so sometimes we might not be able to be on to answer your questions.

Like it is about 4 oclock now here in Canada and probably about 9pm your time.

IN the morning you take your wee one in, so best of luck with that appt.

[Beamers Mom]

It sounds like she is a good size for her age & that's good! Keep up the good work & let us know how the vet visit goes.

I dunno lol. i aint the brightest spark in the bunch ya know lol. It said 7 table spoons for every pint of water for a puppy, but then it mentioned for every 10lb i dunno i just got so confused... i still am haha. My bf worked it out right tho lol

He puts 1 and a half spoons of lactol to 175ml of water. I think thats what he said anyway lol. xxx

[furbutt]

I think she tried to go for a poop and she was crying, when she walked away there was nothing there so i lifted her up and there was a little brown fluid on her furr. When i went to touch her bum she started crying so i got a syringe of warm water my bf held her as i wiped her tiny bottom and syringer her anus with a tiny bit of warm water. She didnt like it but she didnt cry. She now in her bed crying, i dunno if shes crying for attention or crying because she is in pain. Its not a loud cry more of a wimper. I must say tho she is alot more alert than she was this morning with all the fluids. Think i am going to let her sleep on me for a bit xxx

Try rubbing her little anus, the massaging should stimulate her.

She is sooo beautiful Natasha (went to your albums)!
Its amazing how the YT community has come together yet again to help someone in need. I've been following this thread and it is nothing short of inspirational!!!

This experience with Poppy will only make you guys so close!
Good luck and I will be following your progress!

[furbutt]

Thank you so much Danielle.

Yesterday i was so scared and worried it was HORRIBLE i never want to feel like that again. Today even i was so upset and was crying on the phone to the vet. I really have no idea what i would have done if i didt know about TY when i seen the pedigree papers. If i hadnt come on here and got all the advice and support then i dunno if my Poppy would even be alive by now and if she was she would be very sick. I cant thank evenry one enough.... Genes, Beamers Mom and Mardelin are my litle shining stars I ask some stupid questions because i aint to bright lol but everyone here is always willing to help.... cant ask for anything more Just so happy my little girl is doing ok. I wil update everyone 2morrow when i get back from the vets xxx

When it comes to our little furbutts the only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask. Don't be afraid to ask questions. We are here to help. I am not too helpful on breeding Yorkies as I don't breed them. But whenever I feel I can answer your questions I will
