Awe..Im so sorry... I lost a puppy just this week..on Monday. He was 13 days old and I am physically sick over it. I couldnt imagine 3. :( Keep us posted hun... |
Maybe you should get a second opinion from another vet.? |
I am sorry that you lost your puppies. You can only do your best, don't blame yourself. |
Im so very sorry for your loss:( :(:( |
I am sorry you have lost the puppies, breeding is not always fun. I sure wish your vet was more helpful for you, there are so many things that can be wrong. Toxic milk, Herpes, fluid on their lungs and the list goes on and on. I had a friend with a litter of Basset hounds puppies and their vet found an infection and gave the puppies a transfusion and they lived. I maybe would get another opinion. You need some help. |
awwwwwwwwww so sorry hun to hear that im sure u are doing everything u can it is just hard to raise little ones without a mommy..... still tihkning of you daily and will keep the puppies in my daily prayers hun... hope the rest stay healthy for you.... all my love...Cindy |
I'm so sorry for your loss. It reminds me of when I was a kid. We bred poms and had a bitch who refused to be a mom after her 5th pup was born dead. Within the next 2 weeks we lost 2 more pups, leaving only 2. It was so disheartening Mom and Dad decided not to breed anymore after that. I know how much work taking care of orphans can be. Take a deep breath and keep on going, we're all pulling for you. |
My heart goes out to you. I am so sorry. Some things are out of our control and it's very hard to accept. My thoughts are with you. |

The mommy, Lily passed away when the puppies were 5 days old.....and she only got to actually feed them for the first 2 days before she was diagnosed with an infection. Lily and 2 puppies have passed.....we still have 3 pups. We took them to the vet yesterday morning and she immediately gave them moist puppy food......they loved it! She thinks that maybe the formula isn't giving them everything they need now, plus she gave meds. for digestive tract. and something else, I can't remember the name. This is the 3rd vet that we have went to, and We love her! She spent almost an hour and a half with us......between exams, feedings, stimulating, hydrating, explaining everything! We were impressed! |
Well this sounds good I hope with all my heart that the two remaining puppies live. This is a very sad thing that you are going through. My prayers are with you and the puppies. |
I am so sorry to here you lost another pup!! I have been following your threads and praying for you. Sounds like this new vet is going to be alot of help. Good luck with your 3 little ones and keep us posted as you have been. You are doing a GREAT job!!!!! I'll be praying for all of you guys!:thumbup: :) :D |

Just an update......everyone say a prayer and cross your fingers, cause all 3 puppies that are left, seem to being doing great! They are little pigs!!! When Faith (Vet) suggested moist puppy food, she said to make sure to give them that first and then formula, because she was scared they wouldn't eat it and prefer the milk........WRONG! They love the food and prefer it to the milk. We have to give them the formula first, cause once they taste that 'real' food, they want nothing to do with the milk! Talk about messy.....oh my goodness! It is adorable to watch them eat though. Kiko is up to 8 oz, Saly and Reece are at 10 oz........small I know, for their age..(4 weeks tomorrow), but we have got them gaining instead of losing!! I'm gonna take pics tomorrow and post them for everyone to see how much they have grown. Thanks for everyone's prayers and condolences.....very much appreciated! I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't have had you guys to come to when all of this hardship come around.....thanks again |
Awww, I can't wait to see them:)! You're doing such a great job with them! The new vet sounds like she really cares, too:love: |
Oh Great I have fingers and toes crossed that they stay healthy. Sounds like they are doing Great. :angel2dl: :angel2dl: I will keep you and the pups in my prayers. |
Take care of the last three. Very heartbreaking to loose any pup. |
What great news! Im so happy for you. I want to give a humble suggestion for the puppies:aimeeyork .........since the puppies are young, after feeding them moist food, chase it with some fluid, whether pedialyte or formula. To help clear their throat and keep them hydrated. Sounds like an excellent vet you found. Sending good wishes your way. |
I am so happy to hear that your other babies are doing well!!! Did the vet give you additional droppers for their meds?...... Just a thought since things can become contaminated. I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope the vet finds what caused it. Take care. You are and you babies are in my thoughts and prayers. |
Do as your vet suggested and give the food first, not the formula - If you feel a need to give formula - use it for the "water" in the food and make a really soupy gruel. Also you need to introduce them to water and be leaving it out at all times. Get one of those wide based anti tip stainless steel bowls, not plastic because of bacteria. Feed 5 times a day and if everyone is eating there is no need for the bottle feeding regularly throughout the day. It could be the ones that died have liver shunts or some other internal problems. I have never had any valuable information come from a bird or dog autopsy. I don't think most vets do enough of them to have any real knowledge. |
I'm so happy to hear the 3 puppies are eating and doing well! You are doing a great job with those babies and I'm sure the worst is over now. Can't wait to see pics of those little ones. :) |
OMG, I'm so sorry about you loosing another one. You've been through too much already. Thats amazing their eating through! Wonderful news! Sounds like this last vet is a keeper! |
