I have a 11 week old 8 oz sick little guy - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Are you still giveing the Nutri-Cal & how often ? There is a member ( linanator ) who last year had a baby who she almost lost several times. She was force feeding & giving Dyne as per the vet's recommendation instead of nutri-cal & he just would not thrive. I suggested she ask the vet if the Dyne & the Nutri-Cal had the same ingredients & they do not the Dyne is lacking in B vits so she started giving the Nutri-Cal between the feedings & the Dyne & her puppy started to thrive & is a happy little guy now. Maybe he needs a little More Nutri-Cal as when the B vits are low the pup will be very week & often when they are week , they will not eat.

Prayers for baby bug!

I hope your little guy pulls through! I think when you can stabilize him it might be a good idea to have him tested for a liver shunt. It's not always easy breeding dogs but it sounds like you are doing everything possible to help him....

Wel folks, it breaks my heart to tell you this, but we lost him. He just kept getting worse. I took him to the vet and he said that there wasn't anything left to do. He was so bad it just broke our hearts to see him like he was. He couldn't walk, stand for any longer than about 5 seconds, and his head just kept rolling to the side. I appreciate all of everyone's good wishes, prayers and everything else. But the time had come to let him go. God wanted him for a reason. Smart guy, God is.

Thank all of you for your suggestions on feeding him and all. He just never got any better.

I'm literally in tears! I really had hope for him! This is devastating to hear...I bought my Bentley in the same condition and I was told he probably wouldn't make it from 3 different vets and I just had to have him so I can make sure he lived and he is extremely healthy today. I had the same hope for Bug. Sorry for your loss.

I am very sorry that Little Bug died. I had this happen once and the vet did an autopsy. Even after that she couldn't find the exact reason the puppy died. You did everything you could, so don't blame yourself. Sending hugs and prayers that you will get some rest and that the other puppies thrive with excellent health.
