12 hours after C Section All, my Ponytail Polly was too sick to be a Mommy..she died about 12 hours after the c section that produced 4 puppies, one stillborn. She never bonded with the babies, threw up a few times, drank water but refused to eat. I made her lay down and the puppies tried to eat. I should have realized something was seriously wrong! I cant believe this has happened and her babies are so young...I just dont know if I can pull them thru this. She was a sweet girl, loved everyone so now she is in heaven licking everyone. I hope she isnt upset with me, I feel so bad. Thank goodness I didnt scold her for ignoring the babies. |
So sorry to hear of your loss. What a bittersweet day to have welcomed the puppies into the world only to lose your precious Polly. Good luck with the puppies -- I know it will be difficult but I hope they can bring some love back to you. |
I am so sorry for your loss. I dont know what too say I just feel so badly for you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers |
My deepest condolences for your loss. You can take care of her legacy she has left behind. A few years ago a local breeder dropped off two puppies left from a litter of five after the dam did not pull through. I would suggest that you check around and see if anyone has fresh goats milk and colostrum. It is very important that the puppies receive the colostrum. I would feed the puppies every 1 1/2-2 hours until they started eating puppy food mush. You can bottle feed, but tube feeding is more efficient. If you have not tube fed before see if there is a local breeder that maybe able to teach you the proper why to tube feed. Please make sure the puppies are voiding on their own. I just received a card from the lady that adopted both babies, they turned two this past October. |
puppies are 22 hours The puppies are 22 hours old and seem to be doing well considering the journey we had yesterday. I am feeding them every 3 hours, this seems to be their schedule, and stimulating them to void...if I can just get them thru the first few days I will be more hopeful of saving them. They all three feel strong and belly's are full after feeding...no crying or whimpering until time to eat again. I have never had to tube feed but am going to call my vet shortly to gather his thoughts on tube feeding AND to tell him about POlly's death... cant help but think he did something wrong!!! He has been a small animal vet for 40 years...he may be getting too old...(me grasping at straws) |
Things happen for reasons that we do not understand. I am so sorry for the loss of your girl. Keep feeding the babies every 3 hours and weigh them everyday (kitchen scale) to make sure they are gaining weight. Kisses suggested fresh goats milk which is an excellent idea. Otherwise, just supplement with the formula that you have but colostrum is the best...liquid gold. Pups can't generate their own heat for 3-4 days after birth so make sure pups don't get chilled. I know that you're using a heating pad under the box...a plus. Keep going as you are going. |
I'm so sorry to hear this. Bless her heart. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers, you and babies. |
Sorry to hear about Polly. You are in my thoughts and prayers as well.:( |
I am so sorry to hear about your loss . My thoughts and prayers are with you. |
Makes it scary to be a breeder,huh? I know that I take a risk with my bitches everytime I breed so I shouldn't get too attached. I can't seem to do that though, I just love this breed and each one is so special. So sorry for your loss. Good luck with the pups. :( :( |
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been reading with interest, as I will soon, breed my little show girl. And have never bred, so I am reading as much as I can, though I feel at a loss for words with your experience. My thougths and prayers to you and your litter. Thanks for keeping us informed. |

I'm so sorry to hear this. The puppies are in my prayers. They're lucky to have such a caring grandma. |
Oh this is so sad...what comes to mind is an overdose of anesthesia...did he use an injectable or the gas? I would ask for the vet to do a necropsy... again I am sorry for your loss Kimberly Quote:

Very Sorry For Your Loss. |
We buried our sweat girl We just put Ponytail Polly in our flower bed...I can always think of her lying in the pretty flowers each year. I cant keep from thinking how she was looking at me with those big brown eyes...they way her head was turned...she must have been looking back at me for help in her last minutes. I was asleep,a few feet away, on the sofa...if only I hadnt been so focused on the puppies I might have realized. I think she may have gone into shock, the vet didnt notice anything that indicated problems. Hindsight is 20/20...I wont make this mistake again!!! |

I am so sorry for your loss. I know you must be devastated. dragonflysw is going through the same thing right now after losing her Lilly and her puppies are just about 2 weeks now so you could both really be of a lot of comfort and support for each other at this difficult time in your lives. |
I\'m so sorry to hear about your loss. It\'s so sad. :( |
