| New member from Portugal Hello everyone. I am new here and so glad to have found this forum. I have 3 yorkies which are my life. I have in total 10 dogs, 6 birds and a few rabbits. I seem to collect all strays and somehow particularly attracted to birds in distress. One of my yorkie babies had two puppies on Sunday evening but unfortunately one did not survive. They were both born breech but the second puppy had breathing problems. I tried everything to help him, from sucking his secretions, rubbing....I ( we ) tried it all until I decided that a trip to the vet might help. I think this was my worst mistake. From the start it all was wrong. The vet placed his limp body on the cold table. Without weighing him, she proceeded to inject an amount of adrenaline which I think was far too much. Not happy with that she injected him with cortisone. Once again a guessed measure. Well ten minutes after getting home, the puppy was dead. It was very sad for all of us. Roxy, the mother, keeps searching for it around the house. The baby girl is very tiny, born with 50 grams , and had some problems latching on to the mother to feed. I had to help out and still have to suplemente with the mother´s milk in a syringe. I was up all night feeding it every 1 and 1/2 hours and by morning she seemed much better. Her weight is up to 60 grams. I have Roxy and the baby with me 24/7 to keep an eye out for them. Peanut, the dad is so excited. I will post some photos of my angels as soon as I figure out how. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I'm so very sorry for your loss , so so sad. I know we always 2nd guess Vets at the time of loss...but as a nurse, in that ER situation - adrenaline and steroid was really the only option. Again though, so sorry. I do hope you share your surviving little one's progress with us !

| She is gone I am so heart broken. My little angel just died tonight. I do not know what happened. She was doing so well. Eating well and even crawling around her bed when her mommy was out. I had fed her at 11pm and put her in her warm bed. I took her into my room, as I had always done and put her little bed on the floor beside me. I had set my alarm to go off at 2 but before 2 my son woke me up with her lifeless little body in his hands. He had just arrived home and found Roxy ( the mommy ) in the living room, on the couch with the baby in her mouth. I cant understand it and I ache so much. I miss her so much. Roxy is going around the house looking for her. I don´t know what I did wrong. She was so well, I even filmed her this evening. She had put on some weight. She was already weighing 63 grams. :-( |
