Molly had 7 puppies! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ImCKN · 10-13-2007, 04:03 AM

Congratulations!! i know what you are doing right now...our litter of 7 is 12 weeks old and we had such fun raising them. I agree that the Mom should get the extra feedings, and I did that for Lexie for the whole time she nursed the puppies. Our Lexie also free whelped all 7 and she looked so tired all the time, but nursed all 7 for the first 4 weeks before I started to supplement the babies. They were weaned at 5 weeks, which is the earliest one of my litters have been weaned, but we have all healthy puppies that are now going to forever home as we speak. I hope you are ready for the work of this big litter. I was at home the first 4 weeks, but then went back to work, and I found it very hard to give them the attention they need and get the required sleep, but I made it through. If you need anything, or have a question/concern that I can help with, please email me ImCKN@aol.com or PM me. Good luck and I can't wait to see pictures, I know how precious you puppy piles will look!!!

Congratulations

How is #7 doing?

LazyDaisy · 10-13-2007, 10:07 AM

We lost #7 around 4:30 in the am. He tried to hold on. We all feel so sad today! Momma is eat well and is focused on the remaining 6. The vet called me today to check on everyone! Aside from our loss he said everyone else sounds like they are doing great. Molly is doing everything just as she should.
Thanks again for all of your input!

I'm so sorry you lost the little guy...

It is hard to loose one...It is good that the others are doing well though.

I am so sorry about #7. It is so hard to loose one. Good luck with such a big litter. That poor mamma has worked very hard for those puppies and I can't wait to see pictures. Congrats.

I'm just getting home from the weekend and catching up on YT. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I hope the others are doing good!!

I wanted to give you all a puppy update! I have been very busy with these little guys as you can imagine. This is day 10 for us and everyone seems to be doing well. I have been supplementing this one little boy that we call Little Bit. He went from 4 oz down to 3 1/2 oz. I just couldn't stand the thought of loosing another little guy. I weighed him today and he is back up to his original 4 oz. His brother, however, went from 5 oz at birth to 12 oz. Is that normal? The only little girl we have went from 4 oz to 7 1/2 0z. Then our other 3 boys went from an average of 4 oz to 9 oz. I'm not sure if this is normal weight gain or not but when they all are nestled up to mom, Little bit really stands out. I had their dew claws and tails done on the 17th and the vet said that all the puppies looked great and Little Bit had good energy he just needed to be supplemented because the others push him off. I can't believe how attached my husband has become to these little guys. I knew I would but he suprises me. Anyway when you supplement your little guys what have you had the best luck using? what type of milk replacer? and do you use a bottle, syringe or tube feed? and at what temp. do you serve it? All the advice you guys can give is greatly appreciated!
