Oh my gosh how horrible, my thoughts are with you, the mom and her puppies..I hope they will be okay, I would never be able to breed, it would break my heart :(

Sorry, I have been gone all day and just got a chance to check online, but others have already given the same advice I would have. Hope you did not wait and took the pups straight in. Getting Subq fluids could very well turn them around quickly. I would insist on them being seen asap.

Did their symptoms only start once you began feeding the puppy formula? Maybe it is not agreeing with them. I would think about switching them to Goat's milk. I lost a momma and had to hand feed a litter. They were not gaining much and one was not eating without forcefeeding by syringe. I switched to Goat's milk and they thrived.

Low calcium is a common thing to happen to a momma Yorkie, but once the mother's calcium supply has stabilized I don't see why she could not go ahead and nurse. Is she still ill? Are you continuing with calcium? They really need to start a calcium supplement as soon as they deliver and continue it until done nursing. What reason did the vet give not to have her nurse? Are you sure he meant she was not to nurse anymore at all?

I know it is difficult to spend money that you may feel you don't have, but please ensure these little ones get the care they deserve. You can spay your girl so this does not happen again. You should be able to sell the puppies to recoup your vet bills. If you cannot bring yourself to do pay for their care, contact a rescue agency immediately to ask for their help in taking over your litter. It would be best to give up the mother along with the puppies, so they really have a good chance of surviving.

Prayers for all of you.

Oh my!!! Prayers and thots are with you and your furbabies!!! I, too, will be checking back for an update. I pray you get the help you need!! How heart wrenching and what a terrible ordeal for all!

I am hoping you all made it to the vet and all is well!

Please keep us updated. Hope everything at the vet went well.
God bless those babies.

I am following your thread and I hope all your babies are doing well now. Please keep us updated.

Looking for an update too :confused:

Hope all is well!:(

Don't worry honey, nobody is going to beat you up for not having enough money. I just want to thank you for being so honest....I bet their are thousands of YTer's that have entertained the idea of breeding and your post will help them make the hard choice of spaying. As for me, sheer terror would keep me from doing it. These breeders have to have nerves of steel. Your so blessed to have them sending you advise. I am praying for you as I can only imagine how scared you are. Sometimes God quiets the storm and sometimes God lets the storm rage and quites His child. Be quiet in knowing you are not alone.
