Oh boy... (actually GIRL) - What have I DONE????

[Winston's Mom]

You are so wonderful to save this baby. Emma is so lucky. She looks so content and well feed. Her little tummy is too cute for words. Please keep us posted.

Emma's vet just called.... says the surgeon wants to see her tomorrow... she didn't say why. I asked, but she just said that he wants to do the surgery as early as possible and wanted to get another good look at her.

Wow... they can't POSSIBLY be considering doing surgery on a newborn, could they??? Surely he's just "checking out his options", right?

Now I'm nervous.... extra prayers please!

Thanks everyone!!

Oh, by the way... she's 99 grams today! YAY!

There is hope for Emma and I so enjoy reading the updates. I'm sure we're all going to be saying tons of prayers for this special little girl that you have taken in to save.

[Patti]

That is so wonderful what you are doing for that baby!!! Praying they can help her and with your TLC she can livea long life.

[BlondeYorkieMom]

I wouldn't worry right now about the vet wanting to see her again (think positive), I am glad your vets are putting so much thought into your little girl.
I will continue to pray for her and watch this thread for more updates.
Good Luck

My heart has been totally and completely stolen by Lil Emma!!! What a true testament to the love of Gods creatures you are. Thank you so very much for taking this sweetheart in and giving her a chance at life, love and all the good in this world, she is truly blessed to have been placed into your loving, caring and gentle arms. I for one wold LOVE to read updates about her every poo, pee, feeding, burps, rolls, noises, milestones, etc., etc., etc., lol. I'm praying so hard for not only Emma, but for you as well. Having a lil part chi/yorkie or pappilion (Lil Miss Maggy May) placed into our lives at a very, very young age and her being so sick and losing her brother to the same things she had, I know your fears, worries, frustrations and how tired your getting. She is depending on you totally and completely and for a long time, everything you do will center around Lil Emma. Just for the record, I don't believe you'll be able to give her up to any other forever home in the future She's done stole your heart and I just can't see you letting her go, maybe I'm wrong but with a heart like yours, nah, I don't see you handing her over to anyone, ever Is there anyone there with you who is able to keep an eye on Emma while you get some needed sleep? You have to take care of yourself so you can take care of her. I wished I lived close to you, I'd puppysit for you so you could sleep or just do whatever I could to help take the load off of you. You had asked in a prior post about Bean Bak (sp) Did you talk to the vet about this? The only experience I've had with this is when I gave it to a pet rat I had some years ago. Huck got sick with pnemonia at a pet store I had purchased him at, and when I got him home and settled and seen he was sick, I got online, did research and went to the vet. He put Huck on antibiotics and I asked him about the Bean Bak (sp) from reading online about it and what it was for. he said to go ahead and use it, it was a great idea because it would help to put the good antibodies back into him that the antibiotics were taking out while trying to get rid of the bad things. I'm not sure about using it with Emma though, specially since she's not on antibiotics to begin with, plus it's a bit greasy if I remember correctly, not sure what that would do to her digestive system. I'd talk to the vet about it and see what he says. I do know that plain yogurt with live cultures does the same thing though, but again, I would give her ANYTHING different without speaking to your vet, she's doing great now and I wouldn't want to recommend doing anything differently unless you ran it by your vet and got his or her thoughts on it. I look forward to hearing more updates about Emma, please let us know how the next appointment with the surgeon goes tomorrow. I can't imagine them doing surgery on such a lil one either, but I'm no expert, I haven't studied things the way they have. Again, many, many thoughts and prayers going up for you and Emma, you're doing a wonderful job, keep it up! Gentle hugs to the both of you.

[ProfessorPeteZa]

Im so happy she has you. best of luck w. the surgeons. keep us updated. im sending my prayers for baby emma

[cataholic]

Could you tube feed her for a few weeks to lessen the chance of her aspirating? I had to do that to an orphaned puppy once. It was scary I was afraid I would insert it wrong. But the vet wanted me to do it for a few days until she got stronger to eat on her own.

Also is there a way for you to get some milk from a momma dog right after she has puppies and give her some of that? That way she could get some antibodies. Or does it not help after she is this old? Just wondering.

[PANAMA69]

Oh my we need more people like you in this world sending prayers for you and precious Emma
