| Wow! What an amazing ride! Tammy, I really applaude you and your DH for all the patience you have with these tiny babies and the precious mommy. You are most definitely the reason these babies have those little round pink bellies. You're doing great and I just know everything is going to be fine!

| I just checked in and saw the pictures of the puppies. They look wonderful! I am so glad that they and momma are doing so well. And you do deserve credit for saving them. You only did what the vet told you, thinking that he knew what he was doing. And you were so on top of it when things started to not go so good. You nursed all those puppies and Livi back to good health. You are one of the best yorkie mamma's around. Some would not have taken the time or spent the money for all those trips to the vet and all the time it is taking to feed the pups. GOOD JOB!!!! Keep us posted on how things are going. |

| You are a wonderful Mom. I know you and your DH are very tired. Livi is a beautiful girl and so are those babies. My DH and I have been watching your thread. Husband wants to know how Livi is doing each time I go on the thread. Take care of yourself and the kids.

| Hi all!! Sorry for the late update...things have kind of calmed with the puppies and Livi, but my kiddos woke up last night running fevers. Today was full of taking care of my children...my daughter stayed home from Kindergarten so hopefully she will feel more rested and fever free for school tomorrow. Since I was busy with my children today, I didn't feed the puppies as regulary as I was but they were still gaining (I made sure to keep up with weighing them). So I guess it's safe to assume that Livi has some milk (even though I can't get any out when I check) I have a question about this feeding. I fed Cinnamon because she was acting hungry and she is my smallest. But I weighed Cupcake and Cadbury and they have both gained and look VERY round. So between me feeding them throughout the day and Livi nursing them, I guess they are getting enough. ?? My question...since they both look full and are peacefully sleeping and the scale shows a good gain, do I skip the dropper feeding and only do it if they stop showing an increase in weight? I am VERY nervous to skip their feeding(s), but I don't think that their tummies could hold any more. I am just very surprsied to see such gain when Livi appears to have absolutely NO milk!! What should I do?? Last edited by TammyJM; 02-01-2010 at 07:34 PM. |

| Tammy - I can't help you as far as when you should be feeding the babies, I just wanted to chime in my two cents worth - OMG those are the cutest babies ever!!! They look so good and I absolutely love the round full puppy bellies! LOL Livi is looking good too. Glad things are working out. Hope your skin kids are feeling better soon!

It's your call Tammy, on whether to stop eye drop feeding, if you're uncomfortable don't stop. If you're unsure of whether she has milk or not....get her back to the vet and have the vet check her. I know you're not wanting to upset the apple cart, when things are going so good, so don't take any chances.

My kiddos are doing okay...as long as I keep both Tylenol and Ibuprofin in them. I just hope that it doesn't go into an ear infection or Pnuemonia with my son...poor guy doesn't usually get over common things like a cold or the flu without them going into something else as well. Right now, they are quiet...but they were laying in bed giggling. We let them lay in our bed while my husband and I are the living room. Not sure what it is but when a child is sick, they always want to be in mommy and daddy's bed to rest. | |

| Tammy if their tummies are full, I would skip the one feeding. Remember just because you can't express milk doesn't mean she doesn't have any. I never could express milk from Harmony but her babies are nice and full all the time, they have a way of getting it out better. They are sooo adorable!! Nice and plump, very healthy babies!! You're doing an excellent job!!
