Quick update
 

All 4 puppies are doing great. Allie is still a little wobbly. We were able to bribe her into laying in my daughters lap as we spoon fed her yogurt and jarred chicken baby food and we were able to put all 4 puppies by her and got 3 to latch on and suck. They weren't getting anything but we let them suck until she decided she'd had enough (about the time the yogurt ran out) and got up. It's not much but it's a step in the right direction.
We have started her on fenugreek to help with milk production and are monitoring food, water, peeing and pooping. No vomiting, which is good, no fever and she's not licking at her incision.
Puppies have all been fed, charted, peed, pooped and are asleep. Allie and I are going to lay down for a little bit and nap too, while we can.


Just wanted everyone to know an update and say thank you for the prayers and kind thoughts.

And thank you to everyone who is a brededer or who reached out to a breeder for help and sent me information! I appreciate it so much!!! We're taking it slow and steady but that wins the race!!

Thank you again my great Yorkietalk support group.

Love,
Michele, Allie, Lancer, Lace, Lyric and Lark.
(And Noah and Westley too)

That is wonderful news! Hang in there as you seem to be making progress.... maybe someone could give you a break so you can get a few hours of sleep!

I read your post in the other thread, and I think you are very brave. Please keep us posted on how the pups and mom are doing!

So glad things are looking a little better, you probably still have a lot of work in front of you but hopefully Little Mom will come round.
I hope everything works out for you all. Can't wait to see pivpcs of those little cuties.

Definitely, hang in there and keep up the good work! ;)

Dear Michele, Allie and family.....:)


Was following your other thread, but every time I went to post it seemed our power disappeared!!!


Just to wish you all the very best, happy to hear things are looking up a little - and hope you all manage to get some proper rest soon :) Love and a hug from Sally + Harry x

I did post an update in the other thread. Mom is nursing and taking care of pups,

We had an herbalist friend mix up some hormones for her-the same things her body would have released had she labored and birthed naturally, and gave her some to help produce milk and maternal feelings, as well as fenugreek. I really think it helped. We were really patient and just went slow with her and puppies and getting her used to them....

Awesome. Good work on your part.

Congrats! How exciting!

Just thrilled to hear Allie is getting some maternal instincts, hope all continues to go well and from now on those beautiful pups thrive...

What a great idea! :D

Sounds like you are doing great. Glad to hear you are getting the pups to nurse even if it is only for short periods of time. Hopefully it is a the start they need to get their mom doing her job.

Wow I missed a lot lol. Congrats I am glad everything is going ok
