Baron is doing better today. Lots more energy - he's chasing me around an biting my toes occasionally. He's still not 100% for sure, but better.

The vet wants to wait to do any tests until he is up for it (since he is so small and they need a decent amount of blood to do testing, as long as he is stable, she thinks it's better to wait). I have a check-up for him scheduled for tomorrow. So, we'll see.

Anyway, here's a pic from today while he was on my lap. : )

So Cute.....I know you have your hands full...Good Luck and let us know what the vet says about Baron...

Hope Baron's vet check goes well...keep getting bigger and stronger each day little one!!!

Big litters must be a MO thing. Our girl Lilah had 11 pups in Dec, with 9 surviving. They will be 13 wks tomorrow. Hope all goes well with your little ones.

wao! this is an amazing story. Good luck for Baron and the rest of all the puppies. Sorry for the ones you lost.

I will love my Sasha to have babies but I have a regular job and I'm 9 hrs out of the house every day. I wouldn't have time to take care of them

baron is doing much better! He is putting on weight, walking around, and eating and drinking on his own full time (and, he knows his name and is using the puppy pad about 95% of the time).

I just got back form the vet - she says he's gaining, but she's like to see him a lot more "plump." She also said his only issue now is a calcium deficiency, which we can give him supplements for.

We think that he just wasn't able to eat much after being weaned, and he has so much hair, that I didn't notice he was losing weight. But, now he is on track to be in perfect health! I am sooooo happy! : )

here are some pics I took today!

YEA YEA YEA...Im so glad Baron is doing better....I think Im in love.....

:animal-paAwww - me too! I want to keep him now. : )

Awwww i'm so glad he's doing better! Where do you get the supplies for a hypoglycemic attack?! The karo syrup, syringe etc..? I want to keep this stuff on hand for Bailey (just incase) but I don't know where to find it.

Baron is so tiny and cute ! what a little miracle he is ! I am so happy is is quite the fighter! YAY, for Baron ! I can see why you would want to keep him. He's precious . :aimeeyork

AWW he's precious Good job Sara.. You should be one proud mommy:)

The Karo you can get at any grocery store (it's just corn syrup and Karo is a brand).

The lactated ringers (fluids) and syringes and needles, etc I get from our vet. It's good to have on hand - just make sure that you warm it a little in the microwave before using it - you don't want to cool a sick puppy by injecting cold fluids.

Other than that, have a heating blanket on hand for sure. Yorkies can get sick faster if they get cold.

Thank you, i'm going to have to get this stuff to keep so I have it ready just incase!

There is a new twist to the Baron saga.

I noticed a few days ago that the hair on his rear end and the underside of his tail was basically non existant. But, i thought maybe it was from all the icky poo he'd had.

Anyway, yesterday, I noticed he had a thin patch of hair on his back. I checked him over, and he was missing hair on both his front paws and the back of his ears. The spots were fairly small, and his hair is so thick that the only way to see it was by fluffing the hair up and looking really hard.

Anwyay, I got him to the vet as soon as I could today - FUNGAL INFECTION! Apparently caused by the antibiotics and his weakened immune system. The vet said it's like any of us getting a yeast infection after antibiotics. Lovely.

Since he is so small and his liver is not fully developed, no pills - I have to give him sulfur baths! It smells like rotten eggs! my whole houes stinks today. haha ANd, I didn't completely read the bottle before using it, and I totally ruined my wedding ring (it was stained like a weird gold color, but now it's like a dark silver color, very weird).

ANyway, i thought I would let everyone know.

But, Baron is doing great otherwise, no itching or anything like that, and the vet says his hair will grow back in about 3 weeks. : )

And, he may have a new mommy soon! Once he gets better and I'm sure he is okay, there is a lady waiting for him!

Awww. poor little Baron. I'm so glad you were able to find out quickly what was going on this time. But, you're wedding ring!! Do you think it can be repaired or restained or something?
