All these babies are so cute!! Lily is asleep in my lap. Congratulations to everyone! Yorkies are the sweetest :2hearts2: |
I think I'm as excited for everyone else as I am for myself. All of your babies are just beautiful and I can't wait to see what they will all look like when they grow up! I made up a list of sorts for the upcoming month and January so we could keep track of the babies who have made it home, and the babies who are on their way. If the dates were stated I placed them beside their names and as they come home we can update this list :) Once we get to January we can make a new lists for the new babies that wil be coming :thumbup: New babies that have arrived home: Mercedes (better known as Sadie) Lily, Momiji, Anna's naughty little nicky New babies that are on their way: December- Cooper, Tetly (21st), London, January - Jadajewel (second week of Jan.) * Hokule'a * |
Lunasmomma posted this AWESOME thread in the yorkie health and diet forum and since we are all getting or have tiny babies here I thought it would be good to post here as well. I know some small babies can have hypcoglycemia episodes when they are smaller from time to time and thought that we ALL should read and know this information! :thumbup: ************************************************** ******* Thought I'd share this, as I credit the advice I got for saving Luna's life. As most of you probably read, Luna got very very sick the second night we had her. She'd stopped eating and was vomiting. We had to rush her to the emergency vet clinic for sub q fluids and heat support. She was discharged the following morning and saw the vet the petstore referred us to. The vet gave her sub q fluids again and told me to give her 1 tsp. of Nutrical every hour on the hour. So we were doing that, hubby and I taking turns forcing it into her mouth She wasn't coming around and I was so scared! She just kept vomiting and then going back to sleep. So back to the vet again the next morning (on a Sunday, that impressed me a little) for more sub q fluids and antibiotics for a nasty respiratory infection that she had going. Meanwhile, I'm in contact with a great breeder a few hours from me. I write her what's going on and she offers to help. God bless her, because I think her advice helped save Luna's life. The nutrical wasn't doing a thing for her, except turn her into a sticky mess, and she'd vomit it up anyway. She was lethargic and her ears were cold, gums very light pink and gray. She had me mix up the following formula, to feed via syringe. After forcing the first 2 cc's into her,she kept it down and 20 minutes later she was up and bouncing around, lol! After that, no more syringe, but she wanted it off my finger. Then she graduated to eating from a little bowl. Only problem is, she's now a little picky about food, but she's alive, and healthy. This produced nice firm stool from her by the way. I still give her the baby mixture right before bedtime (about midnight for us) and she gets through the night on a belly full of that 1/2 cup half and half 1/2 cup baby rice cereal 1 jar meat baby food, anything but turkey 1 tsp. karo or pancake syrup Mix together and add a little water if it's too thick for the syringe. Give approximately 2-4 cc's every hour (depending on size), then when the pup is doing better, you can increase the amount and decrease the frequency. After a day or two of this, as long as they are eating this on their own, gradually add softened kibble or canned food and slowly decrease the baby mixture until they are eating the food. Should take a week or so to do the change, to avoid upsetting their tummy. She told me to keep checking her gums, that they should look like a humans, dark pink to red, and her ears should feel warm, not cold at all, . If I saw gray in her gums, I was to feed immediately and if no improvement in 1/2 hour, to get her to the vet again. And I was told also to keep her warm, so we took turns holding her against our bodies. I swear, without this help, Luna wouldn't have made it. Just thought that I'd share, in case anyone else goes through this. |

The one in front is a little girl, and I think she's spoken for. I had first choice between the first, second, and last pup, who are all boys. Only the one next to mine is unspoken for I think. |
I've been doing research and found one sight that had some good information on it in case you are having your baby shipped to you. Here's some things to remember to bring to the airport. Tips for picking up your babies from an airport: Bring Diaper Wipes - Your baby has had a long flight and is still young so accidents will most likely happen. Your baby may be wet or messy and making them all clean will make them feel better Bring a Towel - After you wipe your baby down you need to dry them off so they will not be chilled. Bring a soft warm blanket - Babies are used to being with their siblings and mother and are not used to be alone. Having something soft and warm available will help them feel more at ease and safe Bring Nutrical- Bring this with you to the airport and give them a small amount as soon as you get them. If they don't want to eat it just smear it on their lips. This will ensure that their blood levels will be brought back up in case they are messed up from the flight. Bring another Person! - If at all possible bring someone else with you, it will be easier to pick up your babies things and drive home if you have someone there to help you carry things and hold the baby in his/her crate while you drive home. On another note, I decided what food I am going to be feeding mine! I'm going with a mix of Chicken noodle soup for the puppy lovers soul and Canidea all life stages kibble. I've done a ton of research on different foods everything from Timberwolf organics to Royal Canine to Artemis fresh mix and those two came up with the best nutritional value that I could find. Another bonus is that they are all organic, contain zero by products ad zero corn. :thumbup: |

Found these tips on the internet, thought I'd share them here since we're all getting new babies and need to be aware of the signs of Hypoglycemia Symptons for Hypoglycemia: Limp or Lethargic (a good way to tell if your puppy is acting lethargic or just sleepy is to make a noise while they are "resting" clap your hands or shut a book, anything to get their attention, if they don't respond or look up they are lethargic and need to see a vet immediatly) Tongue or gums are grayish blue not pink Diarahea and Vomitting Hypoglycemia can be brough on by stress which can easily happen from moving from one home to another, esepcially if your baby is quite young. If you are aware of the signs and catch it and do something about it, it won't be a big deal. However, if you are unaware of the signs and do nothing it could be deadly. Make sure your new puppy does eat during its first day at your home. If they do not eat their blood sugar can drop rapidly and become dangerously low and the symptons mentioned above can start happening. If this does happen give them a small amount of karo syrup or nutrical and have your puppy seen by a vet ASAP. |
