Is there any hope for my little puppy 17 days ago my dog gave birth to 5 healthy puppies. 4 girls and a boy, for about a week all was great, everyone gaining and suddenly I noticed my little guy losing weight. At 8 days he was 8 oz. then he just started losing weight, down to 7.3. I did everything suggested, he seemed to be getting better, would suckle from Mom when I moved the others out of the way, I was supplementing him with puppy formula, I still am. But, he has not gained much at all, he only weighs 7.5 right now and has stayed fairly consistent the last couple of days. He no longer has any interest in feeding from mom and I am basically forcing the food in to him, he does not seem interested at all. After feeding, he seems in distress and moves around quite a bit before settling down and falling asleep among his much larger sisters. My vet checked him out and couldn't find anything wrong, although, he didn't run a bunch of tests or anything, so just told me to keep him warm and try to get him to eat, said it could go either way. I would sure appreciate any input from anyone who has had similiar experience good or bad, as I am feeling very sad and afraid he is not going to make it. Martha |

Have you tried the fading puppy liver remedy?? http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...t=liver+remedy Sorry to hear he's not doing well. I hope this helps! |
Its worth a try. I wish I would have known about it several years ago when my litter was born, we lost our little male to fading puppy syndrome. What a sad experience. :( |
I hope you try it. feminvstr is sooo full of knowledge and has extensive experiance. Her advise is SOLID! Hope the little man gets better! |
Oh, the very best to this little one!! Can understand how upset and concerned you are. |
Hope he gets better |
Sending your little guy lots of hugs and prayers that he gets better! |
Thanks everyone for your good wishes and all. I have tried that recipie, no improvement so far, but will keep trying! Maybe I just need to find the right formula, it seems like what I have been giving him is hard for him to digest or something. :( |
I hope your little one gets better. I have no advice but will keep you in my prayers. |
Sending healing thoughts for your little puppy to gain strength. Warmly, Deborah |
aww bless him :( is he pooing and weeing ok? |
Keeping your little guy in my prayers:) hope he is better. |
Checking in on your little guy. How is he tonight? |
The litte guy is going downhill fast, I don't think he will make it, but it won't be because we didn't try:( He doesn\'t seem to be suffering, just sleeps mostly. Thanks everyone for your concern. |
Have you given him any karo syrup? It will give him an extra boost in energy to feed and should spark his appitite. Sending my thoughts and prayers |
